The Gifted Trifecta of Conditions - EDS, MCAS and POTS Part 1 Part 2 has link in show notes.

In this podcast I speak with Irene Gottlieb about the Trifecta of syndromes that impacts many of the most sensitivity individuals. Irene is profoundly gifted, runs a school for the profoundly gifted and has three children who are profoundly gifted. She has a lot of day to day experience with individuals who possess the trifecta of: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS),  Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

Irene has a lot of experience researching the Trifecta. First as the mother of three children who have have the trifecta and second as the founder of a school where it is quite common. I originally heard Irene talk on this subject over the summer of 2023. I went to the talk knowing my family had two of these syndromes and left knowing we actually had all three of these syndromes. There is very little information on these syndromes, particularly MCAS, and Irene is one of the most knowledgeable people I know on the subject. I asked her to join me on my podcast and she graciously gave me 7 hours of her time during which we recorded this multi-part podcast.
