You Can Feel Better

Nutrition can help Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome patients reduce digestive issues, feel more energetic, gain strength, and may even lessen pain

There is so much more to managing Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome symptoms than physical therapy and pain pills.

Welcome to
EDS Nutrition!

An organization devoted to helping EDS patients like you feel better by supporting your body with nutrition.

About EDS Nutrition

EDS Nutrition was founded by a registered dietitian with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) after discovering firsthand how impactful nutrition could be for managing digestive issues, fatigue, inflammation, and pain.

What started as a personal journey quickly became a mission to help others with EDS and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) feel more supported, informed, and hopeful about their symptoms.

Since 2022, EDS Nutrition has helped patients better understand how nutrition and lifestyle habits can influence common EDS-related symptoms without restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all approaches.

After years of working directly with patients, clear patterns began to emerge: people were overwhelmed by conflicting information, struggling to find practical guidance, and often feeling dismissed or unsupported.

EDS Nutrition was created to bridge that gap by providing evidence-informed nutrition education, realistic symptom management strategies, and supportive resources designed specifically for the EDS and hypermobility community. Better yet, years of clinical practice have helped show what actually works for EDS patients.

Today, EDS Nutrition continues to serve as a trusted resource for people looking to better understand their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and build sustainable habits that support long-term symptom management.

The EDS Nutrition Approach

Piecing Together the Evidence

While there continues to be a lack of scientific research when it comes to nutrition’s role in directly managing Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, EDS Nutrition uses existing research and clinical experience to inform the educational materials provided to clients. Luckily, research on chronic inflammation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gastrointestinal motility issues, and related conditions is available and provides adequate insight into nutritional strategies that can benefit people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Giving You the Best of Both Worlds

Food is so much more than fuel for our bodies. Food is interwoven into our cultural traditions, daily habits, taste preferences, emotions, and social connections. Keeping this in mind, EDS Nutrition does not prescribe any specific diet or diet plan. Instead, it emphasizes how to get the nutrition you need from foods you already enjoy or would realistically include in your everyday life. EDSSRA clients often report healthier relationships with food because they learn to nourish their bodies rather than follow a strict diet.

Habits As the Key To Success

While many of us easily understand why a dietary change is important, we often struggle with how to implement and maintain this change. Honestly, change is overwhelming for anyone, but especially people with brain fog, fatigue, and chronic pain. EDS Nutrition embraces habit change strategies to reduce the amount of new decisions that need to be made so you can learn how to make a small change and shift back into “autopilot” quickly and sustainably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is insurance accepted?

At this time, insurance billing is not an option for the EDS Symptom Relief Academy, or any other services offered by EDS Nutrition.

Is a formal EDS diagnosis required to benefit from the EDSSRA?

The EDS Symptom Relief Academy is designed for individuals experiencing symptoms commonly associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and related hypermobility conditions, including digestive issues, fatigue, inflammation, and chronic pain.

A formal diagnosis is not required to benefit from the program. Many individuals use the resources while navigating symptoms or pursuing evaluation for EDS, HSD, POTS, or related conditions.

The content is focused on symptom patterns and practical nutrition strategies rather than diagnosis-specific requirements.

What’s the difference between the EDSSRA and other nutrition programs (ie. working with a nutrition coach)?

The EDS Symptom Relief Academy was specifically created by Registered Dietitians who have completed extensive coursework in standardized classes, have competently completed 1200 hours of supervised practice, and have passed the Registration Examination for Dietitians. There is no standardized education or verification of competency for nutrition coaches or nutritionists. Registered Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals who can provide Medical Nutrition Therapy – the practice of helping people manage health conditions through diet modification.

Unlike general nutrition coaching, which is often dependent on ongoing 1:1 support, EDS Nutrition is built as a self-paced, accessible resource and program. It is designed to provide clear, organized guidance that individuals can return to at any time while managing symptoms at their own pace.

The emphasis is on education, tools, and long-term strategy-building. It is also more affordable than individual appointments, which improves access for people who may struggle to work full time due to ongoing health issues.
