In this episode, we investigate studies looking at the mitochondria in relation to ME/CFS and Acute Covid to try and piece together how Long Covid may impact the mitochondria, which may translate to whole body fatigue. This is part 1 of a 2 part episode series. Keep an eye out for part 2 where we will talk about therapies that Long Haulers and others may find helpful to give their mitochondria a bit more love.  Come say hi on Twitter @Kimber_Timber1 :)  ****EDIT!!!***** Throughout this podcast I accidentally referred to the ME/CFS community as "ME/CSF". Sorry about that slip! Brain fog continues to humble me.
