Yesterday I had the privilege of spending a half-day workshop with the incredible Dr. Linda Bluestein, host of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, and today I’m watching her command the stage at the EDS Society Conference in Dallas. 🦓
The hEDS/POTS/MCAS triad discussion has been a true highlight. The zebra print was perfectly intentional. 🖤🤍

Excited to attend this session! 🙌
If you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD), you're not imagining it—your hormones really do affect your symptoms.
Many women with EDS/HSD deal with:

Painful periods
Heavy bleeding
Pain during intimacy
Chronic pelvic pain

And here's what often gets overlooked: hormonal shifts can make your hypermobility symptoms worse. This includes puberty, the week before your period, after having a baby, and sometimes even on birth control.
Menopause deserves special attention too. When estrogen drops, it can amplify the joint pain, muscle aches, and connective tissue problems you're already managing—yet this connection rarely gets discussed.
This is exactly why I'm passionate about treating the whole person, not just the joints. Your hormones and your hypermobility are connected, and you deserve a care team that understands that.

After a 2.5-year break from podcasting, at the request of one of my patients, I recorded another episode of my podcast: "Mind Your Hormones: Perimenopause, Menopause, and Fibromyalgia - Here's What You Need to Know." It's about the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and the overlap of the symptoms with fibromyalgia.

We often think mobility fades with age—but in reality, it fades with inactivity.
Your body is always adapting… the question is, what is it adapting to?

If we stop moving, we get stiffer, weaker, and more prone to pain.
But if we move with intention—even just a little each day—we give our body the signal to stay strong and capable.

This is why I focus on improving mobility through muscle activation and progressive strength training —not just stretching or high-intensity trends.

💬 What’s one simple way you’ve moved today?
