Bendy Bodies with Dr. Linda Bluestein

Is Your EDS Party Trick Causing Long-Term Damage? | Office Hours (EP 142)


Listen Later

What if the very things you do to feel or look better are quietly making you worse? In this solo episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein answers listener questions—but what begins as a practical Q&A quickly dives into rarely discussed truths about cosmetic procedures, EMFs, neuroinflammation, and even fragrances as dangerous triggers.


You’ll hear surprising stories from patients who’ve suffered unexpected complications—and discover how seemingly harmless habits, like party tricks or perfume, could be tipping the scale toward long-term damage. Plus, Dr. Bluestein unpacks the case for renaming MCAS, the underrecognized connection between transness and hypermobility, and why your surgeon might not be as EDS-aware as they claim.


If you think you’ve already heard it all about EDS, MCAS, and chronic illness—you haven’t heard this.



Takeaways:

A harmless beauty treatment… until it’s not. Learn what no one tells you about EDS and cosmetic procedures.


What if your MRI looks “normal”—but your spine is screaming otherwise?


Think party tricks are just for fun? Your joints might not agree.


One invisible environmental trigger may be silently wrecking your nervous system.


Even your surgeon might not know this one crucial detail—unless you ask the right question.
