Salt intake if you suffer with POTS

If you have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), your doctor might recommend increasing your salt intake to help manage symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and fatigue.

This article here could be used as a support guide on salt intake and management.

Before starting a high-salt diet or trying supplements, speak to a doctor—especially if you have other health conditions. Everyone’s needs are different, and your provider can help you find what works best for you.

Understanding Nervous System Mapping

When we start exploring your nervous system together, we’re not just diving into science – we’re looking at your life story.

Trauma-Informed Care at The Long Covid Clinic

Recovering from Long Covid isn’t just about physical symptoms. It’s about how your whole system, body, mind, and nervous system, has been impacted. For many people, the illness itself has been traumatic. Add to that the stress of not being believed, misdiagnosed, or told it’s all in your head, and you’re often left feeling frightened, exhausted, and alone.
