MCAS, POTS, & Hypermobility Part 2 with ...

We are back with part two with Michelle Shapiro! After our initial discussion in the last episode about how these conditions relate to one another, today we are diving into conventional treatments and functional approaches for MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility. Michelle and I discuss why jumping straight to restrictive diets might not be the best long-term solution, why stabilizing mast cells should come first, and why specialized care is crucial.

This episode covers:

• What is missing from conventional treatments for MCAS
• Why stabilizing mast cells and mediators needs to happen before addressing root causes
• The importance of personalized approaches for highly sensitive and hypermobility individuals
• Holistic management for POTS including sodium intake, compression socks, and potassium-rich foods
• Utilizing the Highly Sensitive Body Hub for MCAS and related symptoms
