E186:Behind the Scenes of The Triad Film on POTS/MCAS/hypermobility: A Crossover Episode

We have the entire medical/production team of 5 physician/researchers to give us an update and behind-the-scenes look at the documentary they are making about the trifecta of dysautonomia/POTS, MCAS and hypermobility spectrum disorders. We hear from doctors Tania Dempsey, Larry Afrin, Linda Bluestein, Lawrence Kinsella and Leonard Weinstock, along with patient Jill Brook, to hear how filming is going so far and how we can all help support the film. This is a crossover episode with Bendy Bodies with Hypermobility MD, Dr. Linda Bluestein. You can learn more about the documentary at MCASfund.org.
