b) Individual dietary support for hEDS, MCAS & POTS
I’ve been providing dietary support for MCAS since 2019 and for hEDS and POTS since 2020.
The dietary needs of each person with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) are unique, especially since ~60% of individuals have been diagnosed with more than one of these disorders. For this reason, the first step is an Initial Consultation to meet and discuss your specific symptoms and discuss a plan to address them.
