In this week's episode, I sit down with Dr. Emily Rowe to unpack POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) – a condition that's affecting millions but remains dramatically underdiagnosed.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔹 The simple 20-minute test any doctor can use to diagnose POTS — no expensive equipment required 🔹 Why 80% of patients are women, and how hormones and neurology intersect 🔹 The surprising role of the Vagus nerve, chronic infections, and that “out-of-body” feeling 🔹 Real treatment options beyond symptom-masking — from salt supplementation to hidden pitfalls like intermittent fasting 🔹 Root causes mainstream medicine overlooks: mold toxicity, viral triggers like Coxsackie virus, and more 🔹 Patient stories — including one woman nearly prescribed antipsychotics before her correct diagnosis

Why It Matters?

If you’ve been shuffled between specialists, collecting diagnoses that don’t quite fit, or feeling dismissed by the medical system, this episode will validate your experience and give you actionable next steps.

👉 POTS isn’t rare. It’s rarely diagnosed correctly.
