Make Visible: ME/CFS, Long Covid, POTS, EDS, Fibro & MCAS Explored

by Visible with Emily Kate Stephens

Shining a light on invisible illness. Emily Kate Stephens, journalist and Long Covid sufferer, discusses the latest research and insights with the world’s leading experts, scientists and healthcare professionals.  Including ME/CFS, Long Covid, Ehlers Danlos (EDS), Fibromyalgia, POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Chronic Lyme, Infection Associated Chronic Conditions (IACCs) and more, we dive into the science of energy-limiting, chronic illness, whilst providing patients, caregivers and medical professionals with practical tools to diagnose, understand and manage their conditions. From pacing to supplements, repurposed drugs to biomarkers, therapies to advocacy groups, we share the work that is being done for and by the community, helping patients navigate their symptoms, emotions and lives. Join us every two weeks.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show is amazing! As someone who has been dealing with complex chronic illnesses for almost 10 years, I have found this to be one of the most informative and empathetic podcasts I have listened to on the subject matter. I adore Emily Kate Stephens, and I think the addition of Gez Medinger’s expertise has been wonderful. I would love if y’all interviewed Dr. Andrea Chadwick of Swing Care and Dr. Ginevra Liptan, who wrote the Fibro Manual. (Swing Care is an amazing telehealth program for people with fibromyalgia. It’s available in certain states in the US.)

L. C. Ross · Apr 2026

I’ve found this podcast very helpful for myself as I navigate Long COVID and ME/CFS. Would love an episode specifically on nutrition, especially as it pertains to mitochondrial health. An episode on caregiving while sick (for kids or elderly) would also be great. Thank you!

WFisthe · Mar 2026

Emily Kate and the team at Visible have done more to help me better understand and manage ME than the dozens of physicians I’ve dealt with over the past 20 years. Thank you for this podcast and the Visible device!

Gaylans · Oct 2025

I just discovered this podcast today and the first episode I listened to was Emily and Gez sharing a bit about their personal journeys. Many deep sighs (and nearly tears) emanated from me as I listened to Emily and Gez articulate their challenges and insights that so closely resemble my experience with LC and ME/CFS. I am now sharing this episode with loved ones in the hopes that they will better understand what I’ve been going through for the past 2.5+ years. Would love to hear more details about what has been most helpful (e.g., Emily Kate’s breathwork) and what has been least helpful. Thank you for making this podcast—it is very much needed.
