Dr. Zeest Khan

Dr. Zeest Khan is a Stanford‑trained cardiothoracic anesthesiologist, executive coach, and long COVID patient who now dedicates her work to helping others navigate complex illness. After being disabled by long COVID following frontline hospital work early in the pandemic, she used her operating‑room mindset—careful assessment, critical thinking, and decisive action—to chart her own recovery. She is the creator and host of Long Covid, MD, a podcast and resource hub where she breaks down the science, treatments, and real‑world strategies people need to “recover like a doctor” and make confident medical decisions. Through her advocacy and collaborations with leading long COVID programs, she bridges the gap between patients and the medical system, restoring trust and offering practical hope to those living with long‑term health challenges.
