NEW Research: Hypermobility, Anxiety, Long Covid and Neurodivergence with Dr Jessica Eccles

Dr. Jessica Eccles is back and joins me to further explore and update us on the fascinating link between joint hypermobility, neurodivergence, and emotional regulation. Dr. Eccles shares insights from her groundbreaking research, revealing how ADHD and autism are often connected to proprioception challenges, autonomic nervous system differences, and physical symptoms like pain, anxiety, and fatigue. This conversation sheds light on why neurodivergent individuals may experience long COVID differently, the role of proprioception in emotional regulation, and why advocacy in healthcare and education is essential for better support.What You’ll Learn: ✨ The surprising link between ADHD, autism, and joint hypermobility ✨ How proprioception impacts emotional regulation and daily functioning ✨ Why neurodivergent individuals may experience long COVID more intensely ✨ The importance of advocacy for children and adults in medical, educational, and workplace settings ✨ Practical strategies to support emotional and physical wellbeing ✨ The connection between neurodivergence and chronic pain, fatigue, and inflammation ✨ How hypermobility affects both physical and mental health ✨ The importance of early support to prevent long-term challenges for neurodivergent individuals Timestamps:02:15 - Exploring the Links Between Neurodivergence and Long Covid11:51 - Supporting Neurodivergent Children: A Call to Action17:32 - Understanding Hypermobility and Its Impacts21:32 - The Complex Interplay of Neurodivergence and Hypermobile Conditions29:27 - Understanding Neurodivergence and Body Connection33:02 - Exploring Sensory Regulation in Neurodivergent Populations Looking for support?
