Don’t do planks. Don’t do yoga. Don’t move too much or you’ll hurt yourself.” Listening to that advice only left her weaker, sicker, and more afraid of her own body.Like many people with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS, Lauren felt stuck. Providers warned her she was “too fragile” to exercise and instilled the belief that her body was broken. The result? More fatigue, more joint pain, and a sense that she would never get better.That all began to change when she discovered the Whealth Hypermobility Program. For the first time, she saw people with EDS and POTS building strength, getting stronger, and reclaiming their lives. She realized: “It may be harder for me, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible.”Through the program, Lauren:Learned to trust her body again after years of fearReduced joint pain and improved her strength safelySaw how exercise and strength training improved her POTS symptoms, fatigue, and overall energyBuilt a mindset that focused on possibility, not limitationFound a supportive community that encouraged her progress instead of telling her to stopThis episode is about more than just surviving POTS, MCAS, and hEDS — it’s about living strong, building muscle, and proving what’s possible even with chronic conditions.🎙️ In This Episode, Lauren Shares:What it’s like to grow up with undiagnosed hEDS, POTS, and MCASHow fear-based medical advice (“don’t lift, don’t exercise”) made her sickerThe turning point of joining the Whealth Hypermobility ProgramHow mindset shifts helped her build strength and trust her body againThe role of movement, sleep, gut health, and nutrition in managing chronic illnessWhy community and surrounding yourself with possibility is key to healing⏱️ Chapters00:00 Living with POTS, MCAS & hEDS: Lauren’s Story Begins01:34 Fear and Fragility: How Doctors’ Advice Made Things Worse05:00 From GI Issues to Diagnosis: The Road to hEDS10:23 Why Building Muscle with EDS Is Still Possible14:22 Mindset Shifts: Learning to Trust Her Body Again18:10 From Fear to Group Fitness: Returning to Movement Safely21:53 Recommending the Whealth Hypermobility Program27:20 Managing POTS, MCAS & hEDS Beyond Exercise32:15 Lauren’s Instagram Journey and Helping Others40:45 Fatigue vs Excuses: When to Rest and When to Move42:23 Message of Hope: “It’s Possible for You Too”🔎 If You’re Searching For:How to manage POTS, MCAS, and hEDS naturallyLiving strong with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeHow to build muscle with EDS, POTS, and MCASSuccess stories with the Whealth Hypermobility ProgramManaging chronic pain and fatigue with movement and mindsetHypermobility strength training program that actually works…this episode is for you.Our FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resources
