Dr. Linda Bluestein

Whether you’re bendy with all the benefits or hurting in all the wrong places, you’ve come to the right place for all things hypermobility. Connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are often dismissed or overlooked by healthcare providers as a cause of chronic pain. But if you or someone you care about struggles with the life-altering symptoms of hypermobility, you should know YOU ARE NOT ALONE! At the Bendy Bodies Podcast, we understand.
Each week, join Dr. Linda Bluestein (The Hypermobility MD) as she pulls back the curtain on how to prevent injury and unnecessary suffering in “double-jointed” individuals seeking a more comfortable life in their unique, complex “bendy bodies.” When you tune in, you’re engaging in more than a podcast. Both on-air and online, you’re joining a supportive community where patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals trade insights, life hacks, and inspiring stories to embrace our Bendy Bodies journey together!

Bendy Bodies with the Hypermobility MD, Dr. Linda Bluestein

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein speaks with Dr. Alexis Cutchins, a cardiologist passionate about uncovering missed and misunderstood diagnoses. One of those? Pelvic Venous Disease, a condition affecting countless patients but rarely identified. They explore how PVD can mimic or exacerbate conditions like dysautonomia, MCAS, and chronic pelvic pain and how many patients are left cycling through specialists without answers. From diagnostic challenges to emerging treatments, this episode will change the way you think about pelvic pain and complex multisystem illness.

The Diagnosis Hiding In Your Pelvis with Dr. Alexis Cutchins (Ep 167)

In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by neurosurgeon and social media educator Dr. Betsy Grunch to tackle complex questions around spine health, chronic pain, and the unique challenges faced by people with hypermobility and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS). Together, they explore why “normal” MRIs don’t always tell the whole story, when surgery is (and isn’t) the right option, and how the healthcare system sometimes overlooks the needs of patients living with invisible or misunderstood conditions. Dr. Grunch shares what she’s seeing in the OR, what she’s hearing from patients online, and how she’s trying to change the narrative, one compassionate conversation at a time.

Takeaways

Dr. Grunch explains how patients can feel intense pain even when imaging appears "normal"—and why that doesn't mean the pain isn’t real.

Learn why people with EDS or joint instability may need a different approach—and what surgeons should know before operating.

Dr. Grunch talks about the importance of timing, accurate diagnosis, and avoiding unnecessary procedures when conservative options could work.

From TikTok DMs to comment sections, Dr. Grunch shares how social media is reshaping her perspective on what patients need.

Through open communication and education, Dr. Grunch offers a refreshing take on how specialists can avoid bias and embrace curiosity.

What If Your Spine Surgery Wasn't Necessary? with Dr. Betsy Grunch (Ep 166)

In this empowering episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by OG Bendy Bodies cohost, Jennifer Milner. Jen is a ballet coach, Pilates trainer, and specialist in working with hypermobile bodies. Together they explore why traditional movement cues don’t always work for bendy bodies, how dancers and athletes can train smarter (not harder), and what it really takes to move with strength when your body doesn’t follow the rules. From injury prevention to body awareness and emotional recovery, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone living in or coaching a flexible, fragile, or frequently misunderstood body.

Takeaways

 
What if the training cues you’ve always heard—like “pull your belly button in”—are actually setting hypermobile dancers up for injury?

 
Could “engage your glutes” or other classic instructions be doing more harm than good for bendy bodies?

 
Discover how Jennifer helps dancers feel in control of their limbs—even when movement feels disconnected or confusing.

 
Why do so many talented performers burn out early, and how can mindset shifts and body literacy turn that story around?

 
Learn what it really means to train with your body instead of fighting against it—especially when your body doesn’t follow the rules.

Dancing Stronger: Smarter Training for Bendy Bodies with Jennifer Milner (BEN 165)

In this raw and reflective Office Hours episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein responds to listener feedback and dives deep into the cultural and clinical gaslighting faced by people, especially women, navigating complex health conditions. From the dismissal of perimenopause to the rise of so-called “TikTok diseases,” Dr. Bluestein explores the dangerous disconnect between lived experiences and clinical skepticism. She also unpacks a now-infamous comment involving tuna, and what it reveals about how the medical community sometimes chooses ridicule over reflection. This episode is equal parts fiery and thoughtful, a must-listen for anyone tired of being misunderstood.

Hidden Causes of Abdominal Pain in EDS with Dr. Pradeep Chopra (Ep 163)

In honor of Pain Awareness Month, I wanted to share an episode of one of my favorite healthcare podcasts, “Knock Knock Hi with the Glaucomfleckens.” In this interview from last July, Will and Kristin Flanary (AKA Dr. and Lady Glaucomflecken) kindly invited me on to talk about my journey from ballet to anesthesiology to integrative pain care, and how hypermobility and chronic pain are often overlooked or misunderstood in both medicine and everyday life.

Hypermobility Problems with Anesthesiologist Dr. Linda Bluestein | Glaucomfleckens Bonus Episode

In this informative and eye-opening episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Patrick Agnew, who specializes in treating patients with joint hypermobility and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes. Together, they explore why lower extremity pain and dysfunction are so common and often misunderstood in EDS and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders). From failed orthotics to unnecessary surgeries, they break down the biggest foot myths and offer practical advice for building stability, choosing footwear, and getting the right help before things spiral. This conversation will change the way you walk, literally and metaphorically.

Takeaways

 Patrick Agnew explains why the “fallen arch” theory doesn’t always apply to hypermobile bodies and what to focus on instead.

 Learn when foot surgery helps, when it hurts, and why many EDS patients should think twice before going under the knife.

 Not all orthotics are created equal. Agnew shares why many fail—and how to find support that works with (not against) your anatomy.

 Chronic ankle injuries may signal more than weakness—they could be your body’s way of screaming for a new approach.

 Forget the trends. Discover how to pick footwear that supports your unique structure without creating more dysfunction.

EDS Foot and Ankle issues with Dr. Patrick Agnew (Ep 162)

Dr. Audrey Kershaw returns to chat with Dr. Linda Bluestein and demystify wisdom tooth extraction, appliances for TMJ disorder, and everyday oral health habits for people with EDS/HSD. We cover when third molars should be removed (and when they shouldn’t), why local anesthetic can fail in some patients, how to approach dental procedures when CCI (craniocervical instability) is a concern, and what truly drives gum disease vs “EDS-specific” issues. We also address periodontal EDS (a rare subtype), toothpaste choices (fluoride vs hydroxyapatite vs chelators), and the surprisingly powerful habit of “spit, don’t rinse.” Stay to the end for practical Hypermobility Hacks you can implement tonight.

Takeaways

 
Is wisdom teeth surgery happening too often… or dangerously too late?

 
What if the biggest risk during oral surgery isn’t the tooth—but how your neck is positioned?

 
Why do some people with EDS feel every cut and drill—even after “getting numb”?

 
Could one cheap hack—“spit, don’t rinse”—protect your teeth better than $30 toothpaste?

 
Are sharks hiding the secret to stronger enamel in your bathroom cabinet?

Truth Bombs & Backlash with Kate Colbert (Ep 159)

While many dancers strive to fuel healthily, making the most out of your meals can be overwhelming. In today’s world especially, dancers need strong immune systems and healthy bodies ready for whatever challenge may come next. 
Registered dietician nutritionist Kristin Koskinen discusses nutritional needs for dancers and how to shape lifelong healthy eating habits. Kristin examines common mistakes dancers make in fueling choices, and how you can shape a flexible diet built to shift around external factors. She’ll explore creating flexible strategies like a Ballet Bento Box and discuss the base requirements of any foundationally strong diet. 
Additionally, Kristin lists immune-boosting nutrients and how to find them in foods; explores why stress causes nutritional deficiencies; and explains why removing common inflammatory foods from your diet might help your overall health. Join us for this important discussion! As Kristin points out, “What you do now defines how long and how strong you dance.”
