The purpose of this study is to explore whether two general wellness products, alone orcombined, can support individuals experiencing Long COVID symptoms. Both wellnessproducts stimulate the vagus nerve - a nerve that helps regulate stress, relaxation,mood, breathing, heart rate, inflammation, and digestion.The investigators will use a Fitbit to track participants' health measurements including,but not limited to, activity, heart rate, and heart rate variability, and participantswill be asked to complete surveys about their experience. This information will becollected into a repository where participants can share their experiences with LongCOVID symptoms.
