Dysautonomia Atlanta
Are you constantly feeling lightheaded, dizzy, anxious, or like your body is in overdrive for no clear reason? You’re not alone. Many people with dysautonomia struggle to explain why they feel so ungrounded, unsteady, or why they overreact physically or emotionally to seemingly minor stimuli.
At Nutritionally Yours, Alane Wincek, our holistic dysautonomia specialist in Atlanta, GA, understands what you’re going through — and she’s here to help.
What is Dysautonomia?
What is an Autonomic Dysfunction?
It is when the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions that affect the heart rate, body temperature, sweating, and digestion, does not act correctly.
Dysautonomia refers to a group of conditions where the autonomic nervous system (ANS) doesn’t work as it should. The ANS controls automatic body functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, body temperature, and more. When it’s out of balance, you can experience a wide variety of uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms.
Common forms of dysautonomia include:
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome – may occur as a secondary form of dysautonomia)
Neurocardiogenic Syncope (NCS)
Orthostatic Hypotension
Autonomic Instability
Some other causes of dysautonomia or POTS may be metabolic disorders, infections, inflammation, viral overload, surgery, toxins, or hormone imbalances.
Alane’s youngest son has POTS and is 100% fine now. She understands what it takes to improve the symptoms and get to the root cause of it.
What Causes Dysautonomia?
Dysautonomia is a condition characterized by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, where your ANS does not send or receive messages correctly. This causes a wide variety of symptoms.
Some of the Causes of Dysautonomia That We See in Our Clinic:
- Food intolerances can lead to symptoms of dysautonomia.
- Hormone imbalances can cause symptoms similar to dysautonomia.
- Underlying infections like Lyme disease, Mycoplasma, and viruses like Epstein-Barr can be linked to dysautonomia.
- Vitamin Deficiency has been linked to symptoms of POTS.
- Metabolic imbalances can cause dysautonomia.
We work hard with you to get to the root cause of your symptoms of dysautonomia or POTS and provide you with a simple plan to improve the quality of your life.

Many people say they feel like they’re living in a body that won’t cooperate — a nervous system that’s stuck in “fight or flight” mode.
What is the Outlook for People With Dysautonomia?
The outlook for individuals with dysautonomia can vary depending on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, and effectiveness of treatment.
Alane’s Son’s Dysautonomia Story:
Andrew was born preemie in 1997 and had failed to thrive. At three months of age, he was only 5 pounds. Over time, his weight improved.
He broke out a head-to-toe rash at age three on the first sunny spring day. Our pediatrician suspected Lupus, and Emory Hospital told them he was allergic to the sun. After one year of following orders, dressing him in dark clothes, hats, and sunscreen, Aland had a thought. What if this was an autoimmune or dysautonomia response to something?
She adjusted his diet, and not only did the rash go away but so did the sun allergy.
As Andrew grew, he started to show symptoms of dehydration, loss of coordination, fainting, dizziness, and heat intolerance. He was diagnosed with POTS.
Alane tested him for food intolerance, toxins, mold, and vitamin deficiency. She worked diligently with him to get to the root cause: an underlying infection and adrenal imbalance. It was treated naturally, and he was fine and still is.
Andrew is a skilled engineer who lives independently, and is a wonderful young man.
You will finally get to the root cause of the POTS symptoms and have the correct plan to get your life back.
