Speech-language pathologist and vocal specialist Stacy Menton joins Dr. Linda Bluestein to expose the surprising links between connective tissue disorders like EDS and common (but misunderstood) issues with voice, breathing, and swallowing. From overlooked diagnostics to cutting-edge therapies and startling new research, this conversation peels back the curtain on symptoms often dismissed or misdiagnosed. A must-listen for patients, clinicians, and anyone who's been told "everything looks normal."

Takeaways:

  • Hypermobile patients often experience voice, breathing, and swallowing issues—but go undiagnosed.

  • Imaging and scope studies often miss the root causes of symptoms in EDS patients.

  • Certain vocal exercises may actually harm people with fragile connective tissues.

  • Sniffing can break a dangerous airway cycle caused by inducible laryngeal obstruction.

  • An international team is working to create speech therapy protocols specifically for EDS.
