Have you tried Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Long COVID, ME/CFS, or other chronic condition symptoms?

According to our data from RTHM Direct, 53% of patients who were prescribed LDN reported symptom improvements, and 39% of those described the improvements as moderate to great (as opposed to mild).

The most commonly reported improvements were reduced fatigue, improved mental clarity, decreased aches and pains, and improved post-exertional malaise (PEM). Many patients saw more noticeable benefits at the 90-day mark than after just 30 days, showing that LDN can take time to reach full effect.

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has helped many RTHM Direct patients manage the life-altering symptoms of ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related conditions.

Before treatment, Corinne faced relentless brain fog, PEM, memory loss, and the inability to follow conversations without feeling overheated and confused. Through RTHM Direct, she gained access to LDN, which resolved most of her cognitive symptoms and shortened PEM episodes, without side effects.

Treatment can turn daily life from a constant struggle into something manageable.

Reminder, RTHM Direct requires just a brief survey — and a consultation appointment is optional.

Considering trying Oxaloacetate for fatigue, brain fog, or post-exertional crashes?

Get a coupon code for $100 off per bottle through RTHM Direct to use on the manufacturer’s site when purchasing.

Oxaloacetate may help improve stamina, reduce PEM, and sharpen cognitive clarity. Swipe through to learn how it may be working and what the studies say.

A small randomized controlled trial in ME/CFS found that it improved fatigue by an average of 25% in those taking oxaloacetate, with ~40% of ME/CFS patients having an “enhanced response” to oxaloacetate resulting in a ~63% fatigue reduction.

The randomized controlled study in Long COVID has less clear benefits - there was no significant reduction in fatigue on the Chalder Fatigue Score, but there was fatigue improvement on the DuPaul Fatigue questionnaire. They also did see a 10% improvement in cognitive testing scores in those taking oxaloacetate vs. placebo.

The full mechanism for how oxaloacetate may help is still being investigated - it may support mitochondrial function, scavenge glutamate, among other things.

We get that Oxaloacetate is expensive, so RTHM Direct provides a code that gets you $100 off per bottle to use on the manufacturer’s website (after a free asynchronous clinician assessment) if you wish to try it or continue it at a cheaper price.

A new study finds that babies whose mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy are at increased risk of developmental delays.

Cognitive, communication, and motor delays were linked to changes in cytokines and chemokines found in umbilical cord blood—pointing to possible biomarkers for early intervention.

COVID-19 during pregnancy may have significant negative implications for child development.

“How do caregivers do it?”

I was asked this question on Dr. Ilene Ruhoy and Dr. David Kaufman’s “Unraveled: Understanding Complex Illness” podcast on YouTube.

The truth? Sometimes we break down in grocery store parking lots. Sometimes we sob in the shower where no one can hear us. Sometimes we feel like we're drowning in responsibility.

And you know what? That's perfectly OK.

After 20 years as a caregiver, I've learned something powerful: Resilience isn't about never breaking. It's about learning to gather your pieces and rise again, even when it feels impossible.
It's about finding strength not in being unbreakable, but in knowing how to rebuild.

Want to know how I went from caregiver burnout to building a life of resilience, connection, and joy while caregiving?

In our latest webinar, Stanford professor Mike Snyder, Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine, shares how artificial intelligence is being used to analyze data from wearables and blood microsamples. This technology may be able to help identify subtypes of Long COVID and monitor treatment response with greater precision, opening the door to more personalized and effective care for complex conditions like ME/CFS, POTS, MCAS, and Long COVID.

A new NIH RECOVER study followed hundreds of children under 6 and found that up to 15% met criteria for probable Long COVID—many with symptoms lasting over a year.
Distinct symptom patterns were seen by age group. Poor appetite, chronic cough, sleep issues, and fatigue were strongly linked to prior COVID-19 infection.

The authors estimate nearly 6 million U.S. children may be affected by Long COVID — surpassing Asthma as the most common chronic condition in kids today.

If you think your child may be showing signs of Long COVID, Jama Pediatrics created a resource to help you prepare: 🔗 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2834486
