“Being bendy” often starts as a party trick where you impress your friends with how flexible you are and they applaud your ability to put your foot behind your head. But hypermobility and the conditions associated are not only poorly understood within the standard healthcare system, they are also potentially very dangerous to those who live with them.
In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein of Hypermobility MD speaks with Lara about the full hypermobility spectrum disorders including Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and the most common, the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, or EDS.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to spot hypermobility and potential serious conditions related
- The phases of hypermobility
- How you should adjust your workouts and activities for safer movement with these types of connective tissue disorders
