What do Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility have to do with IBS? A lot more than you might think. In this episode, Rebecca Mass-Krajewski, Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos expert and I break down how connective tissue differences can impact the entire body—from digestion and motility to pain, sensitivity, and even the pelvic floor. If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't quite "fit the box," this conversation will help connect the dots. About our guest: Rebecca Mass-Krajewski, RN, MSN, FNP-BC, is a Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos expert, medical detective, and founder of The EDS Clinic. She specializes in the complex trifecta of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), POTS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), uncovering overlooked drivers like autoimmune dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, and gut imbalance Through her clinical work and speaking, Rebecca integrates the science of neuroplasticity, recognizing how the brain and autonomic nervous system can amplify pain, inflammation, and dysautonomia when stuck in chronic threat patterns. She leads a community where she troubleshoots complex cases live, giving members direct access to her clinical reasoning and real-time problem-solving. Rebecca is redefining what's possible for patients who have been dismissed or misdiagnosed while equipping practitioners nationwide to confidently unravel hypermobility-related challenges and deliver transformational care.
