There’s a quiet crisis happening behind closed doors.
And if you’re still here, you might be feeling it too.

That sense of always being “on” but never really switched in.
The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t solve.
The way your body feels like it’s running on fumes, but no one takes it seriously until it breaks.

I’ve sat with thousands of patients in this state.

People who’ve said:
“I can’t keep going like this, but I don’t know where to begin.”
“Everything looks fine on paper, but I don’t feel well.”
“I feel disconnected, like I’m missing the signals my body’s been trying to send.”

I recognised it, because I’ve lived it too.

I’m Dr Jasmin Tzortzakakis Malik, a General Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in trauma-informed, inclusive healthcare.

But I’m also someone who’s navigated long-term health challenges myself, including five years of long COVID. It left me depleted, disoriented, and unsure how to recover in a system that offered little clarity.

For years, I tried to push through. I told myself I just needed to eat better, move more, be more “resilient.”
But my body had stopped responding in the way I once understood.

Each time I exercised, it left me severely fatigued for days or weeks at a time. My weight crept up. My blood results worsened. My body was constantly inflamed, my joints and even my liver.

My biological age was in the 80’s despite having just entered my 40’s. I was pre-diabetic, but actually only one unit away from being diabetic; my cholesterol was markedly high despite eating a healthy diet. A stark difference from the person I once was. But the advice I was given didn’t fit what I needed to manage my health, and what had become chronic, debilitating symptoms of long COVID.

Before all of this, I was running marathons, climbing mountains, thriving in my life, and at work. So it took a long time to slow down to realise that what I actually needed was to pause.

To listen in.
To rebuild a sense of safety in my body and mind.
To understand what my symptoms were trying to tell me.

This is still a journey. I’ve caught COVID multiple times. Each time has set me back, with six months or more of intense symptoms after the acute phase.
But I’ve also seen what’s possible. I’ve reached stages where I feel consistently well. I’ve had good days again; days with lightness, joy, and connection.

This course is the resource I wish I had at the beginning. Much of it draws on the same guidance I’ve shared with patients over the years, when we’ve taken a moment to pause and look more deeply at what might be contributing to their symptoms.

It’s practical. Clear. Gentle.
And it’s built for people who want to respond with care, not pressure.

If your body’s been asking for something softer - not a rigid plan, but a way back to yourself, this is the place to begin.
