Tracing the Roots
Structured Chaos: Decoding Dysautonomia, MCAS, and ME/CFS
I’m a Nurse Practitioner with a background in Zoology, specialized training in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, and years of experience in critical care and complex chronic disease.
After the birth of my child, I developed POTS—and quickly learned how limited the medical system is when it comes to conditions like dysautonomia, mast cell activation, ME/CFS, and Long COVID. Like many of you, I ran into doctors who didn’t understand how these systems connect—or dismissed symptoms that couldn’t be explained by standard labs.
That’s when I started doing the work myself.
Over the years, I’ve focused my research and clinical practice on the deep mechanisms behind these conditions: things like intracellular iron imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, micronutrient losses, and immune activation. I look at how they overlap—how a single root issue can create problems across multiple systems: brain, gut, heart, hormones, and immune.
This Substack is where I share that work.
I write for patients, clinicians, and anyone who’s been told “everything looks normal” while their life is falling apart. My goal is to break down complex science, offer practical insight, and help shift medicine toward the whole-body models these diseases demand.
I’m not here to gate keep. I’m here to build something better—with patients at the center.
You're not broken. You’ve just been under-investigated.
