Sunday Sessions: The Fear of Exercise with POTS (and an anouncement!)

This week, we’re talking about something a lot of us with POTS and dysautonomia feel but don’t always say out loud… the fear of exercise.Not the “ugh I don’t want to go to the gym” kind of reluctance — the real, body-level fear that comes from past experiences of dizziness, heart rate spikes, nausea, and feeling like your body “crashes” when you try to move.In this episode, we explore:Why this fear is completely valid (and actually protective)The physiology behind why movement can feel so hardHow to reintroduce gentle exercise without overwhelming your systemWhat it means to treat movement as a conversation with your body, not a battleAnd yes… I’m quietly working away on something in the background — a supportive POTS-specific movement programme designed to feel safe, achievable, and nervous-system-aware. It’s not ready yet, but it’s coming. I promise you’ll be the first to know. 💗Grab a tea, get comfy, and let’s take this one step at a time — together.
