ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this Q&A episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life, we’re answering one of the biggest questions we get:
Is The POTS Life Program safe if I have chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, EDS, or severe fatigue?
We talk through what happens if you’re mostly bedbound, how we modify when symptoms flare, and why starting “low and slow” isn’t just a phrase — it’s the foundation.
We also cover:
- How we customize progressions for different fatigue levels
- Whether electrolytes have a “right number” (and why the answer isn’t simple)
- Why EDS-safe, joint-friendly strength training actually matters
- How appropriate weight-bearing supports long-term stability and pain management
If you’ve been wondering whether you’re “too sick” or “too complex” to start, this episode is for you.
