    Flexibility as a Liability: What Circus Teaches Us about Hypermobility w/ Dr. Emily Scherb (Ep 210)

    20/08/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    What if being “naturally flexible” is actually the thing putting you at risk for injury?

    Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes back Dr. Emily Scherb, known as The Circus Doc, for a fascinating conversation about what circus performers can teach all hypermobile people about flexibility, strength, joint control, and injury prevention.

    A physical therapist, researcher, and former circus performer, Dr. Scherb explains why being able to get into an extreme position is not the same as being able to control it—and why impressive range of motion can sometimes mask weakness, instability, or poor load tolerance.

    The conversation explores how hypermobile bodies function differently at end range, why building strength in the mid-range can be so important, and how to tell the difference between normal training soreness, overtraining, injury, and signs that may point toward an underlying connective tissue disorder.

    Dr. Scherb and Dr. Bluestein also dig into the psychology of pushing through pain, the way flexibility can become intertwined with identity, the spinal changes documented in contortionists, and why performers may hide injuries when they fear that speaking up could threaten their careers.

    And while circus provides an extreme example, the lessons apply far beyond the circus world—to dancers, athletes, yogis, gymnasts, and anyone with a body that moves farther than average.

    Takeaways:

    More range is not always better. Hypermobility describes how far a joint can move; what matters just as much is how well you can control that range.

    Getting into a position is not the same as owning it. Extreme flexibility without adequate strength and control can increase stress on joints and surrounding tissues.

    Hypermobile people often benefit from building strength and motor control in mid-range before progressively challenging end range.

    Persistent pain, recurrent injuries, instability, or symptoms that seem disproportionate to training may be clues that something more than routine soreness is going on.

    Contortion offers a striking example of how repeated end-range loading can produce measurable adaptations in the spine.

    Pain should not have to become severe before someone feels “allowed” to seek care. Creating a culture where performers can address problems early may help protect both health and longevity.

    The goal for a hypermobile body is not necessarily less flexibility. It is more strength, control, and capacity within the range you already have.

    Tongue Tie, Trauma, Menopause & More: Your EDS Questions Answered with Dr. Dacre Knight (Ep 209)

    13/08/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    Tongue tie and POTS? EDS without obvious hypermobility? Perimenopause making symptoms worse? And tongue numbness after a nerve block? In this listener Q&A, Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, and recurring co-host Dr. Dacre Knight, medical director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, tackle some of the complicated questions patients are asking—and where the evidence is still evolving.

    Can tongue tie contribute to dysautonomia? Can men have a connective tissue disorder even without obvious joint hypermobility? How should people with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS think about pregnancy? And could being born prematurely influence autonomic function later in life?

    Dr. Bluestein and Dr. Knight also explore emerging research examining trauma histories in people with EDS and HSD, including how repeated medical dismissal and gaslighting may contribute to trauma over time.

    The conversation turns to perimenopause and menopause, including why perimenopause can be particularly challenging and the sometimes-competing considerations of estrogen and progesterone therapy for people managing both menopausal symptoms and connective tissue laxity.

    Finally, they break down Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST): what it is, symptoms to recognize, potential risk factors, and how it is managed—prompted by a listener’s experience with recurrent tongue numbness following nerve blocks.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    What we know—and don’t know—about tongue tie and dysautonomia

    Why connective tissue disorders may look different in men

    Important considerations when planning pregnancy with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS

    Whether prematurity may influence autonomic function later in life

    What emerging research suggests about trauma, EDS/HSD, and medical gaslighting

    Why perimenopause may be particularly difficult for some hypermobile patients

    How estrogen and progesterone may affect symptoms and connective tissue laxity

    How to recognize Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST)

    Why unusual neurologic symptoms after local anesthetic exposure deserve attention

    Is the Ehlers-Danlos Umbrella Helping... or Hurting? with Abbey Phillipson (Ep 208)

    06/08/2026 | 1h 25 mins.
    Could lumping every type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome under one umbrella actually be doing more harm than good?

    In this thought-provoking episode, host Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, is joined by Abbey Phillipson, who was born with COL5A1 classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, survived the first recorded non-traumatic pediatric spondyloptosis, and now serves as Head Strength Coach for Paralympic and Adaptive Sports at the University of Michigan and founder of the Collagen Advocacy Network.

    Inspired by Abbey's powerful presentation at the UVA Research Symposium, this conversation challenges long-held assumptions about how we define, discuss, and advocate for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Although hypermobile EDS has dramatically increased public awareness, Abbey argues that people living with rare and ultra-rare EDS types, representing just 1 to 3 percent of the community, are too often overlooked in research, funding, clinical care, and even public conversations.

    Together, Dr. Bluestein and Abbey explore whether the different EDS types should continue to share a single name, why distinguishing hypermobile EDS from the genetically defined types could ultimately benefit everyone, and how naming disorders by their underlying gene and predominant manifestation might improve diagnosis, research, and patient care.

    Abbey also shares deeply personal stories that illustrate what's at stake, including a friend who spent 35 years carrying the wrong diagnosis before genetic testing revealed kyphoscoliotic EDS. Their conversation highlights why genetic counseling matters, the limitations of direct-to-consumer testing, and how assumptions in medicine can unintentionally delay appropriate care.

    The episode closes on a message of hope and empowerment. After her neurosurgeon prescribed strength training, Abbey transformed from experiencing monthly full-joint dislocations to having none. Today, she helps athletes and people of all abilities discover that movement can be adapted, strength can be built, and disability does not define potential. She also shares why advocacy is most effective when it channels frustration into meaningful, solution-focused action, plus one of her favorite protein-packed hypermobility hacks.

    Takeaways:

    People with rare and ultra-rare EDS types make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the community and are frequently left out of decisions about research, funding, and care.

    Clearly distinguishing hypermobile EDS from the genetically defined types benefits everyone; naming a condition by its gene and predominant manifestation could improve medical clarity and care.

    The "invisible illness" framing can cause genuinely visible rare types to be overlooked, and comfort with a clinical diagnosis can lead to decades-long misdiagnoses that genetic testing would catch.

    Genetic testing and counseling are essential, especially before starting a family; direct-to-consumer testing carries real limitations and should be interpreted cautiously.

    Strength training can be transformative: after her neurosurgeon prescribed it, Abbey went from frequent full dislocations to none, and movement can be tailored to activities people love rather than being purely prescriptive.

    Are EDS Treatments Moving Faster Than the Evidence? with Dr. Dacre Knight (Ep 207)

    30/07/2026 | 34 mins.
    Are surgical risks in EDS exaggerated, underestimated, or simply misunderstood? And how can patients tell the difference between a promising treatment and an expensive procedure being marketed ahead of the evidence?

    In this listener Q&A episode, host Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, is joined by recurring co-host Dr. Dacre Knight, Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, to tackle some of the most difficult questions submitted by the Bendy Bodies community.

    They begin with a candid discussion about surgery in EDS: why most patients do well, which complications are genuinely more likely, and why a surgeon’s technical experience and procedural volume may matter just as much as their understanding of EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes) and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders). They also explain how poorly controlled mast cell activation can derail recovery and why preparation before surgery may be more important than simply being reassured that everything will be fine.

    The conversation then turns to the striking mental health burden within the EDS and hypermobility population, including self-harm and cutting behaviors. Dr. Bluestein and Dr. Knight discuss why anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain may sometimes reflect shared underlying biological drivers, and how treatments such as low dose naltrexone (LDN) may improve multiple symptoms at once when used thoughtfully.

    Listener questions lead them into the increasingly controversial world of cervical instability treatment, including PRP, the PICL procedure, and cervical fusion. What evidence actually exists? Who may benefit? What are the risks? And could treating mast cell activation and other contributors first reduce symptoms enough to avoid an invasive procedure altogether?

    They also take a critical look at IV infusion therapy, explaining when infusions may be medically appropriate, when they may cause more harm than benefit, and why clinics offering the same expensive infusion to nearly every patient before reviewing labs should immediately raise concern.

    The episode closes with an honest assessment of what is currently known about the cause of hypermobile EDS (hEDS), whether epigenetics may play a role, and why patients should pause whenever a clinician recommends a highly prescriptive treatment before completing a proper diagnostic evaluation.

    Takeaways:

    EDS surgery risks are real, but fear-based messaging can be harmful too. Most patients do well, especially when they choose an experienced, high-volume surgeon and address factors such as mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) before the procedure.

    A kind surgeon is not necessarily a skilled surgeon. Bedside manner matters, but technical expertise, procedural volume, complication rates, and careful postoperative planning may matter even more.

    Mental health symptoms in EDS should not automatically be dismissed as “just anxiety.” Pain, poor sleep, mast cell activation, autonomic dysfunction, inflammation, and other biological drivers can profoundly affect emotional health and may need to be treated alongside psychological support.

    One treatment can sometimes improve far more than one symptom. When appropriately prescribed, low dose naltrexone (LDN) may improve pain, sleep, mood, anxiety, GI symptoms, and overall function by addressing shared underlying mechanisms.

    PRP and the PICL procedure are promising options for carefully selected patients, particularly given the significant risks and irreversible nature of cervical fusion. While early experience is encouraging, we still need higher-quality studies to better define who benefits most, what the long-term outcomes are, and how these procedures compare with other treatment options.

    Medical Cannabis, hEDS, and the Sensitized Nervous System with Professor Dave Nutt & Lucy Stafford (Ep 206)

    23/07/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    Why do some people with hEDS or HSD report meaningful relief with medical cannabis, while others feel worse, notice no benefit, or experience side effects? And what might these varied responses teach us about pain, the autonomic nervous system, gut function, and nervous system sensitization?

    In this episode, host Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, is joined by Professor David Nutt, a neuropsychopharmacologist at Imperial College London, and Lucy Stafford, a PhD researcher in clinical neuroscience with lived experience of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

    This is not a hype episode, a recommendation to use cannabis, or medical advice. Instead, it is a careful, curiosity-driven conversation about what is known, what is still emerging, and what remains uncertain about medical cannabis in hEDS and HSD.

    Lucy shares her experience of severe illness, high-dose opioid treatment, a feeding tube, repeated ICU stays, and eventually coming off opioids, an experience that helped shape her path into cannabinoid research. Professor Nutt explains the discovery of the endocannabinoid system and why this system may be relevant to pain processing, stress responses, autonomic regulation, immune signaling, and gut function.

    Together, they explore how cannabinoids may influence a sensitized nervous system, why responses vary so widely, and why medically complex patients need individualized guidance rather than shame, dismissal, or unsupported promises.

    The conversation covers many of the practical questions patients often ask, including the difference between CBD and THC, full-spectrum products, terpenes and the entourage effect, routes of administration, absorption differences, and the importance of a cautious “start low, go slow” approach when cannabis is being considered under appropriate medical supervision.

    They also address important safety considerations, including contraindications, drug interactions, psychiatric risk, impairment, dependence, and why cannabis is not appropriate for everyone. The episode closes with a broader discussion of stigma, the emerging science of psychedelics for chronic pain, and the human and financial costs of undertreated complex illness.

    The Bendy Bodies podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice. Laws, product quality, dosing, and individual risks vary, so patients should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using cannabis or changing any treatment plan.

    Takeaways:

    The endocannabinoid system is an important regulatory system involved in pain processing, stress responses, immune signaling, gut function, and nervous system homeostasis, yet it receives relatively little attention in medical and neuroscience training.

    Cannabinoids do not work like opioids. Rather than simply “blocking” pain, they may influence pain modulation, nervous system sensitization, autonomic tone, and gut motility, though much remains to be studied specifically in hEDS and HSD.

    CBD and THC have different effects, benefits, and risks. CBD may reduce some unwanted THC effects for certain people, but responses vary, and dosing should be individualized.

    A cautious “start low, go slow” approach is especially important for medically complex patients, particularly those with dysautonomia, medication sensitivity, MCAS-like symptoms, anxiety, or multiple medications.

    Individual responses to cannabis vary widely. Differences in absorption, metabolism, product composition, route of administration, and underlying physiology may help explain why one person improves while another worsens or notices no effect.

    Cannabis is not right for everyone. Extra caution is warranted for people with a history of psychosis, paranoia, substance use disorder, significant cognitive impairment, fall risk, pregnancy, or medications metabolized through overlapping liver pathways.

    Patients deserve balanced information: neither stigma and dismissal nor exaggerated promises. The goal is thoughtful, evidence-informed, individualized decision-making.
