The POTScast

Author: Standing Up to POTS, Inc. Language: English Episodes: 100
Navigating life with a complex, often misunderstood condition like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome can feel isolating. The POTScast, brought to you by the team at Standing Up to POTS, Inc., exists to change that. Every week, this podcast creates a dedicated space for learning and connection, delving into POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and the broader landscape of chronic invisible illness. Rather than just clinical explanations, you’ll hear conversations focused on practical, real-world strategies for managing daily life. The discussions are built on a foundation of empowering patients with actionable information, from fitness adaptations and business accommodations to deeper medical insights and self-improvement techniques. Each month features interviews with leading specialists and advocates, offering clarity and hope. At its heart, this is about nurturing a supportive community, raising awareness, and affirming that if you are living with these conditions, you are not alone. Tune in for a blend of education, solidarity, and tangible skills aimed at helping you live better.
