Staying nourished and hydrated when you live with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome isn’t just about energy—it’s about stability, symptom management, and nervous system regulation. However, with so much conflicting advice available online, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to start. At The Steady Path, Wendy Ames offers personalized nutrition and hydration strategy sessions that go beyond basic tips and advice. Wendy focuses on real, practical shifts tailored to your body’s needs, your digestive system, and your daily capacity. As a certified nutritionist, she brings both clinical insight and lived understanding into the process—no rigid meal plans or unrealistic goals, just gentle, guided support that works for your life.

Hydration That Supports Your POTS Symptoms

Telling someone with POTS to “just drink more water” misses the mark. Together, we create hydration plans that help you hydrate efficiently, without causing GI distress or fluid crashes. This plan may involve integrating electrolyte support, adjusting salt timing, or implementing positional drinking strategies into your routine. We examine how hydration methods interact with your medications, energy levels, and symptoms—ensuring you stay hydrated in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming. 

What is a Nutritionist's Role in POTS Recovery?

A nutritionist is more than someone who recommends foods, they’re a guide in making nutrition work for your health journey. As a Certified Nutritionist, Wendy Ames tailors advice based on your medical history, symptom patterns, and energy levels. She doesn’t just talk about what to eat, she talks about what you can eat, how to prepare it without burnout, and how to make it part of your healing plan. This work bridges the gap between food theory and your day-to-day experience with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
