Meet Dr. Zeest Khan: Your Guide to Long COVID Recovery
I’m Dr. Zeest Khan, an anesthesiologist, long COVID patient, and the creator of Long COVID, MD
When long COVID turned my world upside down, I applied my operating room mindset to my own health: assess problems, think critically, and act with purpose, even in uncertainty.
It worked, and now I use this approach to support others.
Through my podcast and writing, I break down complex science and offer practical, evidence-informed strategies. My goal is to empower you to make medical decisions with confidence, because we can’t wait for answers – you deserve real tools and effective treatment right now.

Science-Backed Tools
Committed to scientific integrity.
Empathy and Hope
A supportive voice to remind you you’re not alone.

Listeners Agree
As a person living with long COVID since 2021, there are usually more questions than answers. Dr. Khan’s podcast is full of factual data that is truly helpful. I come from a science background and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Thank you Dr. Khan for pulling all the information together. If you have LC or know someone who does, this podcast is definitely worth your time
