Alcock and Jillian talk about the power of healthy eating, and Alcock talks about his plans to keep spreading the positive messages worldwide.

Jillian’s goal is to spread awareness about Long COVID, which is affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. As for the show's name, Jillian has had an unstoppable "will to win" her pre-COVID life back, as do other patients she has spoken to through the years. The researchers and doctors on the front lines have a "will to win" the fight.

Jillian joined the broadcast industry at just seven years old. From the halls of Capitol Hill in D.C. to the streets of New York City, from the Mariana Islands in the Pacific to Jordan in the Middle East, she would often shoot video footage, write scripts, edit stories, post on social media and appear on camera, all in a day’s work.

In this episode of “Will 2 Win: Overcoming Long COVID,” Jillian Angeline speaks with Dr. Resia Pretorius, a Distinguished Research Professor at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Pretorius is an expert on blood coagulation and circulating inflammatory markers in conditions like Long COVID.

Pretorius shares updates on her research and how her background helped her pave a path to cutting edge work on Long COVID. She also praises donations from patients and from research foundations to get necessary equipment like an imaging flow cytometer. She also offers an uplifting message of perseverance, saying “We can’t give up. We can’t. If we fail, then we fail millions of people. And that’s not a possibility. We cannot fail.” She also tells Jillian she believes this research will inform studies and provide valuable links to patients suffering with debilitating conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and ME/CFS.

Jillian’s goal is to spread awareness about Long COVID, which is affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In her episodes, she’ll be talking with doctors on the front lines of the battle to solve the virus' mysteries. I'll also be talking with fellow long haulers.
