Welcome to yet another topic inspired by Katie's endless scrolling on TikTok before it gets banned - today we're diving headfirst into Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, a connective tissue disorder that affects joint stability. Although the video Katie sent Garet was discussing hyperextending your joints and how damaging that can be to your body over time, HSD can actually cause problems with your vascular system, intestines (think Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis), skin, and - you guessed it - your brain! We discuss Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the connection between hypermobility and neurodivergence - so make sure you listen to the whole episode because we also discuss what these new and developing studies could mean for AFAB healthcare in the future.
