Dysautonomia Support in Atlanta
Do you frequently feel lightheaded, dizzy, anxious, or like your body is constantly in overdrive for no clear reason?
Many individuals with dysautonomia struggle to explain why their body feels so unsteady or why their nervous system seems to overreact to minor physical or emotional stress.
These symptoms can affect work, school, social activities, and everyday functioning.
At Nutritionally Yours, we take a thoughtful and holistic approach to supporting individuals experiencing autonomic nervous system dysfunction, including conditions such as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome).
What Is Dysautonomia?
Dysautonomia refers to a group of conditions in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not function properly.
The autonomic nervous system controls many automatic body functions, including:
• heart rate
• blood pressure
• digestion
• temperature regulation
• circulation
• sweating
When this system becomes dysregulated, the body may struggle to respond appropriately to changes in posture, stress, temperature, or activity.
This can result in a wide variety of symptoms affecting multiple systems throughout the body.
What Is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)?
One of the most common forms of dysautonomia is POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
POTS occurs when the body has difficulty regulating heart rate and circulation when moving from sitting or lying down to standing.
Individuals with POTS may experience:
• rapid heart rate when standing
• dizziness or lightheadedness
• fatigue
• brain fog
• exercise intolerance
• fainting or near fainting
POTS can sometimes develop after infections, viral illness, surgery, trauma, hormone changes, or other stressors affecting the nervous system.
Common Symptoms of Dysautonomia
Dysautonomia symptoms can affect many areas of your body and may vary widely between individuals.
Common symptoms include:
• dizziness or lightheadedness
• fainting or near fainting
• balance problems
• blurred vision
• fatigue
• difficulty concentrating or brain fog
• irregular heart rate
• blood pressure fluctuations
• temperature regulation problems
• shortness of breath
• digestive issues
• frequent urination
• exercise intolerance
• sensitivity to heat or cold
• trouble sleeping
Many individuals describe feeling like their nervous system is constantly stuck in “fight or flight” mode, making it difficult for the body to relax and stabilize.
You’re Not Crazy. Your Body Is Asking for Help.
Many people living with dysautonomia or POTS are told that their symptoms are anxiety, stress, or “all in their head.”
Others are sent from specialist to specialist without receiving clear answers about why their body feels so unstable.
This experience can be deeply frustrating and isolating.
At Nutritionally Yours, Alane takes the time to listen to your story and understand how your symptoms developed. She recognizes that dysautonomia is a complex condition involving the nervous system, metabolism, immune system, and overall body balance.
Her goal is to help you move from confusion and frustration toward greater stability, clarity, and control over your health.
Possible Contributing Factors to Dysautonomia
Dysautonomia often develops when multiple systems in the body become stressed or dysregulated.
Some contributing factors we frequently evaluate include:
• food sensitivities or digestive dysfunction
• hormone imbalances
• chronic infections such as Lyme disease
• viral triggers including Epstein-Barr virus
• nutrient deficiencies
• metabolic imbalances
• inflammatory stressors
• toxin or mold exposure
Understanding these contributing factors can often help bring clarity to symptoms that previously seemed unrelated.
Conditions Often Associated with Dysautonomia
Dysautonomia frequently overlaps with other complex conditions affecting the immune system and connective tissues.
These may include:
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
• Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
• chronic fatigue patterns
• histamine intolerance
• Lyme disease or post-infectious illness
Understanding these relationships can help explain why symptoms affect multiple systems in the body.

A Personal Story of Dysautonomia Recovery
Alane’s understanding of dysautonomia is not only professional — it is also personal.
Her youngest son Andrew experienced symptoms of POTS, including dizziness, fainting, dehydration, and heat intolerance.
Through careful investigation of possible triggers — including food sensitivities, infections, toxin exposure, and nutrient imbalances — Alane identified underlying contributors affecting his health.
By addressing those root causes and supporting his body holistically, Andrew’s symptoms improved significantly. Today he lives independently and works as a successful engineer.
This experience gave Alane a deeper understanding of how dysautonomia affects individuals and families.
Virtual and In-Person Appointments
Nutritionally Yours offers both in-person consultations in the Atlanta area and virtual appointments nationwide.
Many individuals with dysautonomia appreciate the convenience of virtual sessions while still receiving personalized guidance and support.
