October was Dysautonomia Awareness Month, and today we’re talking about what happens when your body’s autopilot—your autonomic nervous system—starts glitching.

If you’ve ever felt dizzy for no reason, your heart races the moment you stand, or you’ve been told “it’s just anxiety,” this episode is for you. I break down what dysautonomia actually is, why it’s so commonly misunderstood, and the different forms it can take—like POTS, vasovagal syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and autonomic neuropathy.

We’ll also talk about real-life support strategies: hydration and electrolytes, pacing movement, blood-sugar stability, vagus-nerve support, and practical tools for temperature and inflammation control.

Plus, I’m sharing my favorite awareness resources and simple ways to #MakeNoiseForTurquoise every October.

You’re not broken—your body just needs a recalibration.

A groundbreaking new study on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is changing how we understand hypermobility. It’s not just about flexible joints—it’s about communication breakdowns between the connective tissue, nervous system, and immune system.

In this episode, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Laura Lee explains what the research uncovered about collagen structure, mast-cell activation, and autonomic dysfunction—and how these findings validate what so many “bendy” bodies already know.

You’ll learn practical ways to support your system through nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and lifestyle balance, and discover how to calm the “overprotective loop” that keeps symptoms flaring.

You’ll learn six simple tips that help you reduce overwhelm, support your body’s needs, and approach daily life with more flexibility, ease, and self-compassion.
