Casey’s Long Covid recovery success story - how increasing serotonin was an effective treatment for Long Covid


Casey’s life was turned upside down after he caught Covid in January 2022. From running and cycling regularly he now struggled to walk 500m. His Long Covid symptoms included heart palpitations, brain fog and hard to control emotions. He found himself becoming angry easily and couldn’t understand why.

Learning about pacing and having therapy to deal with the trauma of chronic illness helped him feel much better within himself. After reading a scientific study that discovered many people with Long Covid have low serotonin levels Casey thought this could apply to him. Within 48 hours of beginning treatment he went from feeling 20% to 70%. Within a week he was able to walk 4-5km and hasn’t had brainfog since taking the supplements!
