In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Living Well With POTS: A Conversation With Nutritionist and Advocate Jill Brook."Most people hear POTS or dysautonomia and assume they’re rare, poorly understood conditions with few treatment options. For patients living with them, however, the reality is far more complex - and deeply shaped by lived experience, nutrition, and daily management. In this episode, we examine POTS and dysautonomia through the lens of nutrition. Our guest is Jill Brook, MA, a nutritionist, researcher, and long-time advocate in the dysautonomia community. After a 17-year delay in receiving her own diagnosis, Jill transformed that experience into a mission to improve awareness and care. She is co-founder of PatientsCount.org, a former nutrition consultant to Dysautonomia Clinic, and host of The POTScast. We begin with Jill’s personal journey into the POTS community and the lessons learned from years of missed diagnosis. We then explore how nutrition (often overlooked) can play a meaningful role in managing symptoms. Finally, we discuss practical strategies for living well with POTS, from navigating healthcare systems to adapting daily routines. By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of POTS and dysautonomia - and why experience, nutrition, and thoughtful management are essential to better care.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - Understanding POTS and Jill’s JourneyTwo - Nutrition and Managing POTSThree - Strategies for Living Well with POTSWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.
