I recently bought weighted ankle and wrist weights and I'm excited to start using. I recently received a diagnosis of EDS and my physical therapist recommended them to build muscle strength to help support my ligaments. I'm glad to know 5lbs can make a difference!
It can but extra care is needed with hypermobile patients - to avoid overtaxing loose connective tissue! But yes the mainstay of treatment for hyper mobility is strength/tone of muscles 💪
Thank you for bringing up the importance of checking ferritin! Sub clinical iron deficiency is an insidious sap on energy, mental health and overall vitality. I treat it all the time alongside prescribing hormone therapy. It’s amazing how much better people feel when the issue is addressed.
I had an iron infusion myself this week and am excited about all the new red blood cells I’ll be making ♥️

Hi Dr. Lucy, I resonated with the constant respiratory problems, I have type 1 diabetes and seem to get sick often and it takes sometime to recover.
Im just getting over a chest infection and I just ache all over and want to sleep.
I live in a remote Australian town and get regular checks. I'm 57 and in most other ways fit and active and eat well.
Further investigation i guess is the way forward...but I feel sometimes that I am often at the doctors.
Thanks for your Substacks.
Go well into the New Year.
More Proteins. Less stress.
