hEDS, Histamine, & PCOS with Hannah

About this episode

Hannah shares her experiences with hEDS, POTS, histamine issues, and PCOS, discussing the challenges faced in the medical system and the importance of bone density protection.

We're back (again!). And this time Hannah is sharing her experience navigating hEDS , POTS , histamine issues , and PCOS as a patient. We dig deep into👇 •⁠ ⁠our shared experience of feeling abandoned by the medical system at certain points in our healthcare journey (and what we did next) •⁠ ⁠why there is no such thing as a hypermobile "look" when it comes to hEDS and HSD •⁠ how PCOS can affect your experience of hEDS/HSD (and why it's so important to start protecting your bone density NOW!) •⁠ and we whip out the dynamometer at the end for a Grip-Strength Showdown🏆 As always, THANK YOU for being here🙏 And remember: incurable does not mean untreatable!❣️ 📚 Join the waitlist for pre-order information for the April 2026 release of Help!
