Welcome to the Hypermobile Natural Therapies Blog
This blog is where I share practical insights and strategies for people dealing with hypermobility, dizziness, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and reactivity in MCAS.
If you have symptoms or a diagnosis of Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), you’ll find information here to help you better understand what may be happening in your body.
I write about topics like nutrition, lifestyle strategies, nervous system support, gut health, and managing chronic exhaustion. My goal is to make complex information easier to understand and turn it into practical steps you can actually use in daily life.
Many of these articles combine current research with the strategies I use in clinic and in my own life managing hypermobility, dysautonomia and MCAS reactivity.
How Do I Declutter Without Crashing?
When you’re already living with chronic illness, fatigue or pain, physical clutter can quickly turn into mental overload. Pushing you to clean like your life depends on it and end up in a flare.
This blog shares practical, body-aware strategies for decluttering and organising in a way that protects your energy. The goal is to create a calmer space without burning out or triggering a flare.
How Do I Parent With hEDS, POTS and MCAS?
Being a mum comes with a huge mental and physical load. When you’re also living with hEDS, POTS and MCAS, there’s an invisible illness load sitting on top of it.
I’m sharing what that looks like for me and three simple things that help me find a better balance.
Why Does My Nervous System Matter in hEDS, POTS and MCAS?
When you're living with conditions like hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) — your nervous system isn’t just a background system.
It’s the core operating system behind many of your symptoms.
Learn why the nervous system is the key to managing your conditions, how to notice dysregulation and practical tips to become regulated again.
What Should I Eat for Fatigue With hEDS, POTS or MCAS?
Living with hypermobility often means dealing with constant exhaustion. Nutrition can play an important role in supporting your energy and helping your body function more steadily. In this article, you’ll learn practical ways to support your body through balanced meals, hydration, and small changes that are easier to maintain long term.
How Can I Calm My Body When I Have POTS?
Managing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can be challenging, but nervous system regulation techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, and yin yoga can help reduce symptoms. Learn practical strategies to balance your autonomic nervous system and improve your quality of life with these simple, sustainable approaches.
Why Does Everything Trigger My MCAS?
MCAS is layered. It’s not just “a histamine issue.”
It involves the immune system, the gut, and the nervous system all talking to each other.
Living with MCAS can feel like your body is constantly on edge. From hives to reflux, nausea, brain fog, dizziness or crushing fatigue. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how I approach MCAS using nutrition, gentle lifestyle shifts, and nervous system regulation. So, we are not just suppressing symptoms, but actually reducing the overall load on the body.
