  • Are You Being Gaslit About Hormones and Health? | Office Hours (Ep 164)
    In this raw and reflective Office Hours episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein responds to listener feedback and dives deep into the cultural and clinical gaslighting faced by people, especially women, navigating complex health conditions. From the dismissal of perimenopause to the rise of so-called “TikTok diseases,” Dr. Bluestein explores the dangerous disconnect between lived experiences and clinical skepticism. She also unpacks a now-infamous comment involving tuna, and what it reveals about how the medical community sometimes chooses ridicule over reflection. This episode is equal parts fiery and thoughtful, a must-listen for anyone tired of being misunderstood. Find the episode transcript here.

  • Hidden Causes of Abdominal Pain in EDS with Dr. Pradeep Chopra (Ep 163)
    Abdominal pain in EDS can be a puzzle with countless hidden pieces. In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes back Dr. Pradeep Chopra for part two of their exploration into gastrointestinal problems. Together, they uncover overlooked causes of abdominal pain, from drooping intestines and tethered spinal cords to mast cell activation and nerve entrapment. Listeners will hear surprising connections between the spine, bladder, ribs, and gut, with insights that could explain symptoms often dismissed or misunderstood. Takeaways: How intestines “dropping” into the pelvis complicate digestion and bladder function. Why tethered cord surgery may relieve unexpected symptoms, including GI issues. The overlooked role of mast cell activation in abdominal pain and food intolerances. How abdominal pain can actually begin in the ribs, nerves, or pelvic floor. Why abdominal migraines and CRPS challenge traditional medical thinking. Find the episode transcript here. Want more Dr. Pradeep Chopra?

  • Hypermobility Problems with Anesthesiologist Dr. Linda Bluestein | Glaucomfleckens Bonus Episode
    In honor of Pain Awareness Month, I wanted to share an episode of one of my favorite healthcare podcasts, “Knock Knock Hi with the Glaucomfleckens.” In this interview from last July, Will and Kristin Flanary (AKA Dr. and Lady Glaucomflecken) kindly invited me on to talk about my journey from ballet to anesthesiology to integrative pain care, and how hypermobility and chronic pain are often overlooked or misunderstood in both medicine and everyday life. Listen to more episodes of “Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens” wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube. https://www.human-content.com/kkh Bendy Bodies, alongside Knock Knock Hi with the Glaucomfleckens, is a proud part of the Human Content Podcast Network Learn more about your ad choices.

  • EDS Foot and Ankle issues with Dr. Patrick Agnew (Ep 162)
    In this informative and eye-opening episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Patrick Agnew, who specializes in treating patients with joint hypermobility and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes. Together, they explore why lower extremity pain and dysfunction are so common and often misunderstood in EDS and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders). From failed orthotics to unnecessary surgeries, they break down the biggest foot myths and offer practical advice for building stability, choosing footwear, and getting the right help before things spiral. This conversation will change the way you walk, literally and metaphorically. Takeaways Patrick Agnew explains why the “fallen arch” theory doesn’t always apply to hypermobile bodies and what to focus on instead. Learn when foot surgery helps, when it hurts, and why many EDS patients should think twice before going under the knife. Not all orthotics are created equal. Agnew shares why many fail—and how to find support that works with (not against) your anatomy. Chronic ankle injuries may signal more than weakness—they could be your body’s way of screaming for a new approach. Forget the trends. Discover how to pick footwear that supports your unique structure without creating more dysfunction. Find the episode transcript here. Want more Dr. Patrick Agnew?

  • Dental Myths & EDS Truths with Dr. Audrey Kershaw (Ep 161)
    Dr. Audrey Kershaw returns to chat with Dr. Linda Bluestein and demystify wisdom tooth extraction, appliances for TMJ disorder, and everyday oral health habits for people with EDS/HSD. We cover when third molars should be removed (and when they shouldn’t), why local anesthetic can fail in some patients, how to approach dental procedures when CCI (craniocervical instability) is a concern, and what truly drives gum disease vs “EDS-specific” issues. We also address periodontal EDS (a rare subtype), toothpaste choices (fluoride vs hydroxyapatite vs chelators), and the surprisingly powerful habit of “spit, don’t rinse.” Stay to the end for practical Hypermobility Hacks you can implement tonight. Takeaways Is wisdom teeth surgery happening too often… or dangerously too late? What if the biggest risk during oral surgery isn’t the tooth—but how your neck is positioned? Why do some people with EDS feel every cut and drill—even after “getting numb”? Could one cheap hack—“spit, don’t rinse”—protect your teeth better than $30 toothpaste? Are sharks hiding the secret to stronger enamel in your bathroom cabinet? Find the episode transcript here.
