In this episode I do a deep dive on POTS:What is POTS? Learn about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, how it impacts the nervous system, and why it's on the rise—especially post-COVID.Symptoms & Diagnosis: Discover the key criteria for diagnosing POTS, how it differs from other forms of dysautonomia, and common symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, and gut issues.Root Causes & Triggers: Understand the connection between POTS and factors like autoimmune conditions, concussions, long COVID, gut health, mast cell activation, and hormonal imbalances.Why Conventional Treatments Fall Short: Find out why simply taking salt tablets, wearing compression stockings, or using beta-blockers may not be enough—and what a more comprehensive approach looks like.A Functional Approach to POTS: Dr. Zimmerman breaks down a neurological and immune-based framework for evaluating and treating POTS, focusing on brain function, balance, gut health, and inflammation.To learn more about POTS we have a blogpost on our clinic website: https://peakbrainandbody.com/dysautonomia-and-pots-why-you-have-dizziness-headaches-and-chronic-fatigue/
