Long COVID and sports injuries are becoming impossible to ignore—and this episode explores why more athletes may be dealing with fatigue, soft tissue breakdown, and prolonged recovery after viral illness. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Muhammad Mansour, a naturopathic doctor and regenerative medicine specialist who treats elite athletes at the highest levels.

In this episode, you’ll learn how long COVID may affect skeletal muscle, mitochondrial function, exercise tolerance, and systemic inflammation—and why these issues can persist even after the initial infection appears to resolve. Dr. Mansour explains how athletes can miss early warning signs, why “pushing through” fatigue may backfire, and how a more individualized recovery strategy may be critical in the post-pandemic era.

If you’re an athlete, coach, practitioner, or health-conscious listener trying to understand the intersection of long COVID, inflammation, and injury risk, this episode offers a science-informed perspective on what recovery may require now.
