Dr. Linda Bluestein is a board-certified anesthesiologist, integrative pain medicine physician and former ballet dancer who specialises in coaching and educating dancers and other athletes and individuals at increased risk of hypermobility disorders.

Dr Linda’s own experience with h-EDS eventually led her down a career path change that has seen her help countless others to live well with hypermobility and avoid chronic pain development. She is widely published, considered an expert on hypermobility disorders, and has lectured internationally.

In this episode, Dr Linda and I sit down to discuss the link between Hypermobility spectrum disorders, hypermobile-Ehler’s Danlos syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome and endometriosis.

Here’s what we cover:

• What we mean by generalised hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorders and hypermobility-EDS, and how they differ.

• What are the signs and symptoms of these conditions.

• The link between h-EDS and menstrual disorders, bladder dysfunction and pelvic pain and Dr Linda’s approach to addressing these problems.

• What mast cell activation syndrome is, how it is associated with hypermobility and EDS, and how it may be a driver behind EDS and endometriosis.

• The link between SIBO and h-EDS and connective tissue disorders.

• Dr. Linda’s key strategies for managing symptomatic hypermobility and h-EDS.
