POTS = Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It’s when your nervous system gets stuck in fight-or-flight mode, causing your heart rate to spike when you stand up. But here’s what most people don’t understand: POTS isn’t just a mysterious condition that happens randomly. There are usually root causes we can identify and address: •Biotoxins (bacteria, viruses, mold) •Environmental toxins (pesticides, heavy metals, microplastics) •Underlying gut dysfunction •Chronic stress and unresolved traum

Many patients with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) are told it’s “just bad luck,” but often it’s linked to key nutrient deficiencies. Low levels of B12, folate, copper, and glutathione can impair blood vessel and nervous system function, worsening dizziness, fatigue, and rapid heartbeat. With proper intracellular testing and targeted supplementation, patients can often see major improvements in symptoms and quality of life. | Dan Purser MD
