Dr. Ayla Wolf and Sophia Bouwens dive deep into the complexities of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), explaining how this autonomic dysfunction manifests and why proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Wolf breaks down the different subtypes, testing methods, and treatment approaches while emphasizing the importance of looking beyond symptoms to find root causes.

• Different subtypes include hyperadrenergic POTS, hypovolemic POTS, and POTS with mast cell activation
• Approximately 70% of POTS cases occur in females between ages 15-45
• Many POTS patients have interoception issues, feeling disconnected from bodily sensations or experiencing heightened awareness
• Potential underlying causes include concussions, mold exposure, viral infections, autoimmune conditions, and cervical instability
• Exercise therapy is beneficial but must be customized to the patient's specific condition and symptoms
