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.
Decluttering Without the Crash: A Nervous-System-Friendly Guide for Neurodivergent Brains and chronic conditions
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.
Why Nervous System Support Comes First: Safety and Joy in Chronic Illness
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.
How Nutrition Affects Exhaustion in Hypermobility and its associated conditions
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.
Managing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): The Role of Nervous System Regulation
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.
Practical tips for living with Mast Cell Activation Disorder (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.
