POTS and Dysautonomia 101

Welcome to our continued series exploring the trifecta of POTS, MCAS and h-EDS/hypermobility,  and today we are basically doing a little POTS 101.POTS is a condition caused by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the part of our nervous system which governs involuntary actions of the body that essentially keep us alive and we don’t have to think about in order for them to happen, such as breathing, heart beat, blood pressure regulation, blood sugar regulation, digestion and so on.POTS is a type of dysautonomia (which is a spectrum of conditions and symptoms caused by this dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system) which causes a rapid increase in heart rate when going from sitting to standing. This change in heart rate is caused by pooling of blood in the lower body, which isn’t getting up to the heart and the brain like it normally should, resulting in the heart working harder to get the the blood moving. This reduced blood flow causes dizziness, breathlessness, feeling faint or fainting, palpitations and chest pain, and the change in heart rate can be measured.Affiliate PartnershipsDITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

I recently did a couple of Instagram carousels about postural tachycardia syndrome or dysautonomia signs and symptoms I see in clients - and the response was absolutely overwhelming, unlike anything I have experienced before (and I’ve had my Instagram for about 12 or so years!). The post has been viewed over 120,000 times and has been saved around 500 times now. This is clearly something so many of you are struggling with, and I had a lot of people asking how to get diagnosed, or saying they’ve been dismissed by doctors. So, today’s episode is a bit of an emergency response to all of these requests.Affiliate PartnershipsDITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

Alice van der Schoot is a PhD nutrition scientist with a background in neuroscience. Her work brings together both fields to explore how nutrition can impact underlying mechanisms of PMS, PMDD, and period pain to reduce symptoms - from neurotransmitter function, to pain processing and inflammation. Recognising that valuable research often remains hidden in academic journals, Alice founded DITTO to address the disconnect between scientific evidence and meaningful solutions in menstrual health. DITTO has a clinically studied supplement formulated specifically for PMS, PMDD, and period pain, with key nutrients that may also support individuals with endometriosis. DITTO's social channels are also a platform for science communication - breaking down important research to make it accessible to those who need it most, and if you haven’t checked out her Instagram to see her coverage on research, I highly recommend you do!⁠References⁠DITTO linksWebsiteInstagram @ditto.daily20% discount code: ENDOBELLYAffiliate PartnershipsDITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

This episode was inspired by a recent Substack of mine. I have a section in my Substack called ‘What I’m eating lately’ and it’s just a section where I share healthy meal ideas that support us with endo and our many chronic illnesses. I shared how I had started using whole seeds instead of spices for my interstitial cystitis, and I got a really positive response from others who had struggled with bland meals since their IC developed.So, for those of you who aren’t aware, interstitial cystitis is also called Bladder Pain Syndrome, and is a condition that causes bladder pressure, frequent urination, poor bladder emptying, bladder pain and more, without a clear cause. It’s a co-condition of endometriosis, and it can be extremely debilitating to live with. I have multiple episodes on the condition, so if you want to deep dive into it, go on a scroll through my podcast feed, and I’ve linked a few below.Show Notes: This episode is sponsored by Mira, your at-home hormone testing device.
