One of my favorite EDS/HSD resources
Excellent quality, excellent speakers and wonderful host. I refer my HSD/EDS patients to this podcast frequently. I also refer many other patients to specific episodes that would be relevant to their needs. Bendy Bodies is a favorite driving companion of this family doc!

The most comprehensive and brilliant talk about Sleep
Dr. Roger Seheult astounded me with so much pertinent information that he was able to explain in a way that my Foggy Brain was able to absorb many little (big actually)gems of information and advice. Since 2011 I have had at least 5 to 6 in lap sleep studies, as well as 2 to 3 at complete home sleep studies and another 2 to 3 oxygen saturation only sleep studies. I have many sleep related diagnoses and I’m thrilled to have learned so much that I can start to incorporate into my daily living to improve the quality of my sleep. Thank you so much Dr. Seheult! I have already subscribed to your YouTube channel and plan on sending my loved ones the link to this podcast. Anyone and everyone can benefit from learning more about this super important topic. Thank you Dr. Bluestein for continuing to have such amazing people on your Podcast helping both other healthcare professionals and fellow Zebras in so many ways. You are a blessing and a gem. Thank you again.

HELPFUL!!
This Doc knows her stuff. She's one of us Bendies so she gets it in a way that most providers can't. Super grateful for the pointers, insights, hacks that are bringing real change to my days and overall quality of life. Here's to learning and living well! Thank you, Dr. Bluestein and guests!

WOW! Must listen for EDS and related conditions
This podcast is so informative and educational. It changes lives because knowledge is power, and Dr Bluestein has design this podcast so everyone has access to expert info. Thank you so much!

Episode 72
Just listened to this episode on upper extremity issues. I learned so much. Why did my shoulder get worse with PT and message? Explained. I had questions on ring splints and painful muscles. Answered. This was great information.

Great podcast
Really appreciate the hacks! Love to hear even more from Dr. Chopra and other EDS gurus. It’s nice to hear them speak in a question and answer format vs a lecture.

Targeted towards a specific subset of bendy bondies, but great info for ALL bendies.
Episode 35 with Dr Maitland deserves 10 stars. If you want to learn about mast cell disorders, listen to that episode. Another doctor on a different podcast stated that Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is so prevalent in hypermobile people that he is more surprised when he meets a hypermobile patient that DOESN’T have MCAS than when he meets those that do. It is tragic how few doctors can recognize mast cell disorders, so for this information alone, this podcast is a treasure. It helps us bendies be better educated and therefore be “better” consumers of the healthcare system. Sometimes that means having to look hard for the right doctors, or maybe it means educating our own current doctors when they are willing to learn. The podcast, especially given that it is led by a doctor and then often interviews doctors - is a solid part of the education we need. Recommend!

Helped me SO very much
I started listening to Bendy Body’s when they first launched. I’ve been hooked ever since. It is a place to come to learn through others experiences as well as forward thinking research. A gem for the eds community.

Informative and validating
Bendy Bodies is a must listen for anyone living with or treating hypermobility. I am so grateful for this light in the dark.

Newley and finally diagnosed!!
I have recently been diagnosed with MCAS, POTs and hEDS and this was referred by my doctor as homework! Very informative! Has me crying, educating and relating completely!! Thank you.

A light in the dark
Great resource that highlights so many topics that are not well-known in the medical community, but plague many people with hyper-mobility syndromes and EDS.

Aww
A

Informative and eye opening
As a newly graduated DPT especially interested in performing arts PT, this is my #1 podcast. I binged the whole show In 1 week and now look forward to every new episode. I have learned so much that isn’t taught in school and get to connect with the amazing guests they have on this show. Linda & Jennifer! Just know that you are inspiring my future career. I hope one day to connect with you all in a professional capacity! THANK you for providing this information 🖤

Thank you for Creating this podcast!!!
I can’t thank you enough for starting this podcast, hypermobility is an area that is so under discussed and under researched in the medical community! Having been diagnosed with hypermobility and all the injuries that come along with it, it’s been extremely hard to find professionals to work with that understand how they can help and strengthen instead of pushing stretching on an already limber body. Thank you thank you creating this, can’t wait to listen to all of the episodes!!

Bendy Bodies: Capturing Authenticity (with Rachel Neville)
Preach! This whole episode is groundbreaking and full of long overdue information. The last segment on the importance of core training is priceless.

Helpful
This is an interesting and helpful podcast. I feel supported by both the knowledge and the attitudes of the host and guests. Thank you so much!

Bendy minds, not just bodies!!!
An amazingly informative solution focused podcast. If you are hypermobile, you NEED this. If you have health issues generally, I think this would be illuminating for most. If you have chronic pain, dive on in. The resources mentioned alone will be a huge help for your journey!! These amazing women take a holistic approach, and take all different perspectives in considering issues...they have great bendy minds!!

Phenomenal podcast with great evidence-based information!
Phenomenal podcast with great evidence-based information... always a favorite!

Not a Dancer
I’m not a dancer but I’ve found the information presented to be quite relevant and helpful for me as a hypermobile mid-40’s person. Thank you for making the podcast happen!

So interesting!
This was a great listen, I learned so much! I treat so many dancers, excited to share this info.

Such a deep dive into the hypermobile body. Leaning so much from every episode.
