À propos de cet audio

 Whether you’re bendy with all the benefits or hurting in all the wrong places, you’ve come to the right place for all things hypermobility. Connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are often dismissed or overlooked by healthcare providers as a cause of chronic pain. But if you or someone you care about struggles with the life-altering symptoms of hypermobility, you should know YOU ARE NOT ALONE! At the Bendy Bodies Podcast, we understand. Each week, join Dr. Linda Bluestein (The Hypermobility MD) as she pulls back the curtain on how to prevent injury and unnecessary suffering in “double-jointed” individuals seeking a more comfortable life in their unique, complex “bendy bodies.” When you tune in, you’re engaging in more than a podcast. Both on-air and online, you’re joining a supportive community where patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals trade insights, life hacks, and inspiring stories to embrace our Bendy Bodies journey together!Bendy Bodies, LLC Développement personnel Hygiène et mode de vie sain Réussite Troubles et maladies

  • What If Your Spine Surgery Wasn't Necessary? with Dr. Betsy Grunch (Ep 166)

    What If Your Spine Surgery Wasn't Necessary? with Dr. Betsy Grunch (Ep 166)
    Oct 16 2025
    In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by neurosurgeon and social media educator Dr. Betsy Grunch to tackle complex questions around spine health, chronic pain, and the unique challenges faced by people with hypermobility and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS). Together, they explore why “normal” MRIs don’t always tell the whole story, when surgery is (and isn’t) the right option, and how the healthcare system sometimes overlooks the needs of patients living with invisible or misunderstood conditions. Dr. Grunch shares what she’s seeing in the OR, what she’s hearing from patients online, and how she’s trying to change the narrative, one compassionate conversation at a time. Takeaways Dr. Grunch explains how patients can feel intense pain even when imaging appears "normal"—and why that doesn't mean the pain isn’t real. Learn why people with EDS or joint instability may need a different approach—and what surgeons should know before operating. Dr. Grunch talks about the importance of timing, accurate diagnosis, and avoiding unnecessary procedures when conservative options could work. From TikTok DMs to comment sections, Dr. Grunch shares how social media is reshaping her perspective on what patients need. Through open communication and education, Dr. Grunch offers a refreshing take on how specialists can avoid bias and embrace curiosity.

  • Dancing Stronger: Smarter Training for Bendy Bodies with Jennifer Milner (BEN 165)

    Dancing Stronger: Smarter Training for Bendy Bodies with Jennifer Milner (BEN 165)
    Oct 9 2025
    In this empowering episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by OG Bendy Bodies cohost, Jennifer Milner. Jen is a ballet coach, Pilates trainer, and specialist in working with hypermobile bodies. Together they explore why traditional movement cues don’t always work for bendy bodies, how dancers and athletes can train smarter (not harder), and what it really takes to move with strength when your body doesn’t follow the rules. From injury prevention to body awareness and emotional recovery, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone living in or coaching a flexible, fragile, or frequently misunderstood body. Takeaways What if the training cues you’ve always heard—like “pull your belly button in”—are actually setting hypermobile dancers up for injury? Could “engage your glutes” or other classic instructions be doing more harm than good for bendy bodies? Discover how Jennifer helps dancers feel in control of their limbs—even when movement feels disconnected or confusing. Why do so many talented performers burn out early, and how can mindset shifts and body literacy turn that story around? Learn what it really means to train with your body instead of fighting against it—especially when your body doesn’t follow the rules. Find the episode transcript here.
