Safe Exercise for People with Hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) If you’ve been diagnosed with hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) , you know that movement can feel tricky. Joints may slip, ache, or feel unstable, and sometimes exercise feels intimidating and overwhelming. However, the right kinds of exercise will help you get stronger, protect your joints, and improve your daily comfort. The goal with hEDS is not to push your body to extremes—it’s to gradually, over time, build gentle strength, stability, and confidence. Why Exercise Matters with hEDS The right types of movement can: Strengthen muscles that support loose joints. Improve balance and body awareness (reducing injury risk). Ease pain and fatigue. Boost mood and energy. Nurse Pro Tip : Think “support” not “stretch.” The goal isn’t more flexibility—you already have plenty—but stability and protection. ✅ Safe & Helpful Exercises When choosing activities, think slow, steady, and supportive. 💧 Water-Based Exercise Swimming, water walking, or gentle aquatic therapy take pressure off your joints while still giving you resistance to build strength. 🧘 Modified Pilates or Yoga Focus on core strength and stability. Skip deep stretches—keep movements small, controlled, and steady. 🏋️ Light Strength Training Resistance bands or light weights help build protective muscle. Stick with lighter loads, higher reps, and slow, intentional movements. 🚶 Walking or Cycling Flat-ground walking and recumbent cycling are gentle, low-impact ways to support cardiovascular health. 🤲 Physical Therapy Exercises A physical therapist who understands hEDS can teach you safe, customized strengthening routines to stabilize your most vulnerable joints. ( Email me @ yourinspiredvitality@gmail.com for personalized recommendations or referrals to Utah PTs familiar with hEDs). ❌ Exercises to Avoid Some activities can increase the risk of injury or worsen symptoms. It’s best to avoid: High-impact sports (running, jumping, contact sports). Heavy weightlifting (places too much strain on joints). Deep stretching or “contortion-like” yoga. Fast-paced HIIT workouts with explosive movements. Gymnastics or flexibility-focused training. Nurse Pro Tip : If the focus of a workout is “how far you can stretch” or “how heavy you can lift,” it’s probably not the right fit for hEDS. 💡 Tips for Moving Safely Listen to your body—stop if something feels wrong. Prioritize stability, not flexibility. Work with professionals who understand hypermobility. Progress slowly—small, consistent steps are safest. ✨ The Bottom Line -- Living with hEDS doesn’t mean avoiding exercise. It means finding the right kind of movement that supports your body instead of stressing it. With gentle, strengthening exercises, you can feel stronger, reduce pain, and enjoy a more active, confident life.

Mold Illness vs. Allergies: What’s the Difference? When people think of mold, they often assume it just causes seasonal allergies—sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses. But mold illness goes far beyond typical allergic reactions, affecting multiple systems in the body and often mimicking chronic or autoimmune conditions. Mold Allergies: The Basics Mold allergies are an immune response to mold spores. Symptoms may include: Sneezing Runny or stuffy nose Itchy, watery eyes Cough or post-nasal drip Mild fatigue These symptoms usually flare up in humid environments, basements, or during seasonal changes. They’re often treated with antihistamines or allergy shots. Mold Illness: A Deeper Toxic Load Mold illness, also known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) , is triggered not by an allergic reaction, but by a toxic overload from mycotoxins —dangerous chemicals produced by certain molds . These toxins can accumulate in your body, especially if your detox pathways are compromised. Symptoms may include: Brain fog Chronic fatigue Digestive issues Hormonal imbalances Neurological symptoms like anxiety or depression Joint and muscle pain Key Differences Mold Allergy Mold Illness (CIRS) Involves histamine reaction Involves chronic inflammation Symptoms are seasonal or triggered by exposure Symptoms persist and worsen over time Usually treatable with OTC meds Requires detox, lifestyle changes, and medical treatment What If You Have Both? Some people suffer from both mold allergies and mold illness, making symptoms even more complex. If you’ve been treating allergies with little to no relief, it may be time to explore the possibility of deeper toxicity. If you have both mold allergies and mold illness, you will have to treat both. Remediate all mold out of your environment. Test for the presence of mold in your home and office environments. Remove high mold foods from your diet. What to Do Next If your symptoms go beyond allergy season and don’t improve with standard treatments, it’s time to consider mold testing and a functional approach to healing. At Your Inspired Vitality, we specialize in identifying and treating mold illness holistically. Detoxification strategies (sauna therapy, sweating, supplements, and binders), as well as dietary and environmental changes can help. Testing for the presence of specific mycotoxins is important to do as well and can be done through a simple urine test. Ready to feel better?
