In this episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Marc Kesselman, a rheumatologist who’s helped thousands navigate conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and long COVID.

Together, they discuss why these diseases are becoming more common, the surprising ways viruses and toxins can trigger them, and what “pre-autoimmunity” testing can reveal years before symptoms even start.

Haylie also opens up about her own autoimmune journey, and why they both believe nutrition, stress management, and finding a doctor who truly listens can change the course of your health.

If you’ve ever feared a flare, struggled to get answers, or just want to protect your immune system, this conversation will give you science, strategies, and hope you can use right now.

When living with ME/CFS or Long COVID, even getting out of bed can feel like running a marathon.

In this episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. David Systrom, a Harvard physician and Director of the Advanced Cardiopulmonary Exercise Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital to talk about exercise intolerance for people with chronic illnesses and why so many patients are left without answers.

Dr. Systrom shares findings from invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing and explains why traditional tests often miss what patients are actually experiencing. They dig into post-viral illness, mitochondrial dysfunction, dysautonomia, and the promise of clinical trials that could lead to more compassionate and targeted care.
