The star told her 8.3 million followers: "Hi, okay so let's jump into this... I think it's important for everybody to know that I was doing a podcast with my doctor [Dr. Will Cole]. So, this is a person who I've been working with for over two years now, um... to deal with some chronic stuff."

Gwyneth then went on to tell her followers that she had long Covid and has been coming up with ways to tackle this.

She said: "'So I've been working with Dr. Cole to really focus on foods that aren't inflammatory, right? So lots of vegetables – cooked vegetables – all kinds of protein, healthy carbs to really lower inflammation and it's been working really well."
