Description

In this week’s episode of The Mindful Marathon Podcast, Dr. Michelle Quirk is joined by Dr. Siri Chand for a thoughtful conversation on recovery, resilience, and redefining health in the wake of long COVID.


Dr. Chand shares her personal experience navigating dysautonomia and long COVID, and how she’s learned to adapt her approach to movement, rest, and healing. Together, they discuss the importance of stress reduction, the role of mindfulness, and the reality that health isn’t found in a pill. It’s created through your daily choices, self-care, and lifestyle.


This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not linear, and that tuning into your body with compassion and curiosity can guide you toward greater well-being.


Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa has had a life-long interest in mindful living as the foundation for long-term vitality of mind, body, and spirit. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at the Mayo Clinic in 2005 and is board-certified in Internal Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Hospice/Palliative Medicine.
