What to Do After a POTS Diagnosis (Electrolytes, Exercise, and Common Mistakes)
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), it can feel overwhelming figuring out what actually helps. In this episode, we break down what to focus on early and what to avoid. We talk through common mistakes after a POTS diagnosis, including over-relying on water without enough sodium, falling for “electrolyte” products that don’t contain meaningful salt, and making drastic diet changes too quickly. We explain how to approach hydration and electrolytes more effectively, including why sodium matters and how to start building tolerance. We also cover nutrition myths, why cutting multiple foods at once can backfire, and how to use simple tracking to identify real triggers. On the movement side, we walk through why exercise is still important with POTS and how to approach it in a low, slow, and sustainable way to avoid worsening symptoms. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you take your next step with more clarity. Timestamps: 00:00 What to do after a POTS diagnosis 01:20 Common mistakes early on 02:45 Electrolytes vs water (what actually helps) 04:50 How much sodium you need 07:10 Choosing the right electrolyte options 09:20 Why cutting foods too quickly backfires 10:20 How to track food triggers 12:00 MCAS + food sensitivities 14:20 Salt myths explained 15:30 Why movement matters with POTS 17:00 How to start exercise safely 19:00 Support, structure, and community 21:30 Final thoughts + next steps Connect with Us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: The POTS Life Instagram: @thepotslife_ Tik Tok: thepotslife

GI symptoms, pain clues, and why a consult matters In this episode of Let’s Talk About the POTS Life, we break down the connection between POTS and pelvic floor dysfunction and why it’s often overlooked. We cover common “beige flags” like GI issues (IBS, bloating, constipation/diarrhea cycles, gastroparesis), bladder symptoms (chronic UTIs, straining to pee), and unexplained pelvic or low back pain. We also touch on tension patterns (like teeth grinding) and conditions like endometriosis and hypermobility. This episode highlights how pelvic floor therapy can fit into a bigger picture approach alongside POTS care, GI support, and mental health. If you feel like your symptoms aren’t fully adding up, this might be a missing piece.

Veronica shares what life looked like when her symptoms were at their worst, navigating frequent episodes, overstimulation, and the day-to-day challenges that made even simple things feel overwhelming.

What Makes The POTS Life Treatment Program Different
In this episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life, we walk through the philosophy behind the POTS Life treatment program and why it’s structured the way it is.

Symptoms can change, medications shift, illness happens, and life events come up — so having a plan that allows for adjustments along the way can make a big difference. Finally, we share more about the support systems within The POTS Life, including guidance, community connection, and additional resources designed to help people navigate life with POTS.

Is The POTS Life Program Safe for CFS, EDS & Severe Fatigue?
In this Q&A episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life, we’re answering one of the biggest questions we get: Is The POTS Life Program safe if I have chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, EDS, or severe fatigue? We talk through what happens if you’re mostly bedbound, how we modify when symptoms flare, and why starting “low and slow” isn’t just a phrase — it’s the foundation. We also cover: How we customize progressions for different fatigue levels Whether electrolytes have a “right number” (and why the answer isn’t simple) Why EDS-safe, joint-friendly strength training actually matters How appropriate weight-bearing supports long-term stability and pain management If you’ve been wondering whether you’re “too sick” or “too complex” to start, this episode is for you.

Living with POTS: What It’s Like for a Spouse | Dysautonomia & Chronic Illness Support
What is it really like to love someone living with POTS and dysautonomia? In this episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life, my husband Cale shares what it was like watching me navigate years of undiagnosed Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) — the ER visits, the “normal” test results, the adrenaline dumps at night, and the slow decline that didn’t make sense. We talk openly about what dysautonomia and autonomic nervous system dysfunction looked like from his perspective — the tachycardia, tremors, chronic fatigue, insomnia, and living in constant fight-or-flight. From the outside, POTS can look like “just dizziness.” But inside, it affects every part of life — including marriage and family. In this episode, we discuss: Supporting a spouse with POTS Understanding invisible illness and dysautonomia Nighttime adrenaline surges and anxiety The emotional impact of chronic illness on relationships How to validate someone with autonomic dysfunction Practical advice for partners, caregivers, and family members If you are newly diagnosed with POTS, living with dysautonomia, or trying to help your spouse or loved ones understand what this condition really feels like, this conversation will resonate deeply. POTS affects the autonomic nervous system, but it also affects relationships. And understanding changes everything.
