Bloating, gas, stomach pain, and unpredictable digestion? If you have EDS, you might be dealing with SIBO, and it's more common than you think.

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) happens when bacteria grow where they shouldn't in your digestive system. With EDS, your slower gut motility creates the perfect environment for SIBO to develop.

Your stomach problems aren't random, and they're not in your head. There's a real connection between EDS and SIBO.

At MJC, we understand how EDS affects your entire body, including your gut. Connecting the dots between your symptoms is what we do.

If you have EDS, your gut problems aren't separate from your joint issues - they're connected.

EDS affects the connective tissue throughout your entire body, including your digestive system. This can slow digestion, cause reflux, or make your stomach empty too slowly.

At MJC, we know EDS isn't just about hypermobile joints. Your whole body is affected, including your gut.

Swipe to learn why EDS commonly causes stomach issues and what's actually happening in your digestive system.

Dizziness when standing up, heart racing for no reason, or exhaustion after simple tasks? You might be dealing with POTS.
POTS means your heart rate jumps way up when you change positions, especially standing. It's more common than you think, and your symptoms are real - not "just anxiety."
At MJC, we see POTS often and know how confusing these symptoms can be when you don't have answers.
Swipe to learn the basics about POTS and why understanding it matters.

If you have EDS, protein isn't just about building muscle - it's about giving your body the building blocks it desperately needs.

Your skin, joints, blood vessels, and connective tissues all depend on having enough high-quality protein to function and repair themselves.

When you don't get enough protein, your already fragile connective tissues suffer even more. But when you prioritize it? Your body has what it needs to support healing and stability.

At MJC, we know nutrition plays a huge role in managing EDS. Getting the right nutrients isn't just helpful - it's essential for feeling your best.

Swipe through to learn why protein matters so much when you have EDS and how to make sure you're getting enough.

If you have EDS, you've probably been told to stretch more to help with pain and stiffness. But here's the thing - this advice can actually make things worse.

Your muscles feel tight for a reason. With EDS, your joints are already too mobile, so your muscles work overtime to provide stability. When you stretch those "tight" muscles, you're removing the very support your joints desperately need.

Instead of stretching, your body needs strengthening. Building muscle stability gives your hypermobile joints the support they're lacking, which often reduces that tight feeling naturally.
At MJC, we know EDS bodies work differently. We focus on what your joints actually need - strength and stability, not more mobility.

Swipe through to learn why strengthening beats stretching when you have EDS.

If you have EDS and struggle with depression, you're not alone. Living with chronic pain, unpredictable symptoms, and feeling misunderstood can take a real toll on your mental health.
Here's what's important to understand: EDS doesn't just affect your joints - it can directly impact your mood and emotional wellbeing too.

But here's the thing many providers miss - you can't treat depression in someone with EDS the same way you'd treat it in someone without a chronic condition. Your physical symptoms and mental health are completely connected.

At MJC, we get this connection. We know that managing your EDS isn't just about your body - it's about supporting your whole person, including your mental health.
Swipe through to learn more about this important connection and why treating both together makes all the difference.

If you have EDS, you know that crushing exhaustion that hits out of nowhere, or when you've used all your energy by noon.

That's where spoon theory helps. Each "spoon" is a unit of energy for your day. With EDS, you start with fewer spoons and everyday tasks cost more energy than they should.

The key isn't pushing through when your spoons are gone. It's learning to use your energy wisely so you can do more of what matters.

At MJC, we know managing EDS means helping you live without constantly running on empty.

If you have EDS, you probably know the frustration - you're exhausted but can't get comfortable, your mind won't shut off, or you wake up feeling like you didn't sleep at all.

You're not imagining it. EDS affects your sleep in real ways - from joint pain that makes finding a comfortable position nearly impossible, to a nervous system that struggles to wind down.
Here's what we want you to know: poor sleep isn't just "part of having EDS." Your body NEEDS quality rest to heal, and we believe you deserve to wake up feeling refreshed.

At MJC, we understand the unique sleep challenges that come with EDS. We don't just tell you to "sleep better" - we help you address the root causes that are keeping you awake.

Swipe through to learn why sleep is so tricky with EDS and how the right support can help you finally get the rest your body is craving.

MCAS and EDS often go hand in hand 🤝

If you have EDS, you might be dealing with mysterious symptoms that seem unrelated such as food sensitivities, skin reactions, or digestive issues. These could be signs of MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome).

The good news? MCAS is absolutely manageable when you have the right support and understanding of what's happening in your body.

At our clinic, we see EDS and MCAS together all the time. We know how overwhelming it can feel when symptoms seem to come out of nowhere, but getting informed is your first step toward feeling better.

You don't have to figure this out alone. Swipe through to learn the basics about MCAS and how we can help you create a plan that works for YOUR body.
