My wish this year: that others won't have it so hard

July 22, 2026

Reflecting on what's happened since 2020, and what we can build together.

Health Coaching Designed For Complex Illness

Dr Zeest Khan

Physician

I am a Stanford-trained anesthesiologist with years of experience managing complex, high-stakes situations—and making careful decisions under pressure.

Coach

I am a trained executive coach who’s helped academic physicians and tech entrepreneurs reach their personal and professional goals. I use the same precision with my clients with chronic illness.

Patient

I developed severe long COVID after working on the front lines of the pandemic and was bed-bound for nearly a year. I’ve made a significant recovery and personally understand the demands of managing complex illness.

Few people approach this work from all three perspectives. I understand the medical complexity and lived reality of complex illness.

You’re Not Alone

Voices of Hope and Resilience

Long COVID patients share how Dr. Khan’s insights empower them.

I am also a health-care professional sick since 2020. It has been a long and brutal road. Your podcast is a lifeline for me and other colleagues with PASC/Long COVID.

Thank you for the podcast. It helps me to feel more calm, empowered, and hopeful, plus less shame, fear and overwhelm.

I just wanted to say thank you. You put into words what I find so hard to say. I’m in year two of COVID and your podcast has helped me so much.

Thank you so much for these podcasts! I’ve been muddling along for 5 years with long COVID and I am so grateful to have found your work.

Medical Experts Agree

Dr. Lucinda Bateman, MD Founder

Bateman-Horne Center

“For decades, my medical career has focused on caring for people with complex illness. I know firsthand that honesty, reliability, and compassion are essential for patients to heal and to trust their care. Dr. Khan exemplifies these qualities. That’s what makes Long COVID, MD so valuable—it offers patients trustworthy guidance in the midst of long COVID’s uncertainty.”

Dr. Todd Davenport

DPT, Workwell Foundation, Chair of Physical Therapy, University of the Pacific

“Long COVID, MD is a safe harbor in a constant storm of uncertainty. Dr. Khan centers her work on patients’ needs, and balances scientific rigor with human interest. That’s why Long COVID, MD is a resource I check, use, and recommend frequently.”

Dr. Zed Zha

Physician, Writer and Patient Advocate

“Dr. Khan amplifies the voices of people medicine often overlooks. Her public voice is powerful, and her private support is even more so. Her guidance has become the quiet force behind my own development. Let her be your secret weapon, too.”
