About this listen
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.
