What if the symptoms you’ve been chasing for years aren’t random at all, but signs of a common and misunderstood connective tissue trait most doctors never explain?
In this episode, Dr. Aaron Hartman breaks down the often misunderstood difference between generalized hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). While EDS represents a severe and disabling connective tissue disorder, hypermobility itself is far more common and frequently overlooked in everyday medical care.
Dr. Hartman explains why many people with hypermobility struggle with chronic pain, fatigue, neurological symptoms, gut issues, and recurrent infections, yet never receive a clear explanation for their symptoms. He also explores why hypermobility can be both a risk factor and, in some cases, a biological advantage, especially in athletics, emotional intelligence, and coordination.
This episode offers practical education, prevention strategies, and early-intervention guidance for adults, parents, and clinicians seeking a deeper root-cause understanding of connective tissue health.
