Living with POTS can feel overwhelming: when your heart races every time you stand, when simple tasks leave you exhausted, or when doctors struggle to understand the complexity of your symptoms.
At Biio, we approach POTS with the specialised knowledge and comprehensive care it demands.
We integrate immediate symptom relief strategies with root-cause focused interventions that target the underlying autonomic dysfunction, creating personalised care plans that adapt to your unique POTS presentation.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing POTS for years—you'll have expert practitioners who truly understand your condition guiding your recovery.

We offer comprehensive strategies to manage Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition frequently co-occurring with chronic fatigue, long-COVID and EDS. Our approach includes education on lifestyle modifications, exercises to improve cardiovascular conditioning, hydration and nutrition advice, and techniques for managing symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. We work with patients to develop personalised strategies that fit their daily lives and improve their ability to function with POTS.
Dysautonomia rarely exists in isolation—it emerges from the complex interplay of genetics, infections, trauma, hormonal disruption, and immune dysfunction. Our integrative practitioners identify and address these underlying drivers while supporting your autonomic nervous system's capacity for regulation. Through targeted supplementation, nutrient repletion, and evidence-based natural therapies, we work to restore the foundational health that conventional medicine often overlooks while your symptoms persist.
Many POTS patients experience hypovolemia (low blood volume). While oral fluid intake is crucial, some patients benefit significantly from periodic IV fluid therapy, especially during challenging periods or weather changes. IV fluids often provide immediate relief from orthostatic symptoms, enhances energy levels and cognitive function. Your response to IV fluids also offers valuable diagnostic insights about your specific dysautonomia subtype, helping us refine your comprehensive treatment plan while supporting long-term autonomic regulation and improved quality of life.
Nutrition in dysautonomia extends far beyond increasing salt intake—your digestive system, blood sugar regulation, and inflammatory responses all influence autonomic stability. Our specialised dietitians understand how gastroparesis, blood pooling, and MCAS affect nutrient absorption and tolerance. Through personalised protocols addressing meal timing, macronutrient ratios, and trigger identification, we help stabilise the metabolic foundation that supports autonomic function while working within your body's current digestive limitations.
Exercise intolerance in dysautonomia isn't deconditioning—it's a measurable autonomic response that requires specialised understanding and intervention. Our exercise physiologists focus specifically on autonomic nervous system regulation through carefully calibrated movement programs that respect your orthostatic limitations while progressively building capacity. Using heart rate variability monitoring and symptom tracking, we develop exercise prescriptions that strengthen rather than destabilise your autonomic function, recognising that traditional exercise advice often worsens dysautonomia.
We offer targeted nutrient testing specifically relevant to ME/CFS, POTS, and Long-COVID recovery, identifying deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and cofactors essential for immune function, cellular energy production, and neurological recovery. Based on these results, we provide personalised supplementation protocols to support your body's healing process.
Chronic autonomic dysfunction creates specific metabolic demands that oral supplementation often cannot meet—absorption issues, increased cellular requirements, and depleted reserves all conspire against recovery. Our targeted injections and infusions deliver therapeutic levels of B vitamins, vitamin C, and other essential nutrients directly to support mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your autonomic nervous system's capacity for regulation. Each protocol is designed around your specific presentation, whether addressing MCAS flares, immune dysfunction, or the crushing fatigue that conventional doses cannot touch.
Trauma-induced dysautonomia requires interventions that address the nervous system's protective responses at their foundation. The Safe and Sound Protocol uses specifically filtered music to gently stimulate the neural pathways associated with safety and social connection, helping reset the hypervigilant autonomic responses that trauma can create. This evidence-based intervention supports your nervous system's recognition of safety, allowing the parasympathetic recovery responses that trauma often interrupts.
Your vagus nerve serves as the primary pathway for parasympathetic regulation—when dysautonomia disrupts this communication, targeted stimulation can help restore balance. Our tVNS protocols use precise, gentle electrical stimulation to support vagal tone and autonomic regulation. This evidence-based intervention helps modulate the fight-or-flight responses that often become stuck in dysautonomia, supporting your nervous system's return to more flexible, adaptive functioning without pharmaceutical side effects.
Hormonal fluctuations profoundly impact autonomic stability—oestrogen affects blood vessel function, testosterone influences heart rate variability, and thyroid hormones regulate the metabolic processes that support autonomic function. Our hormone optimisation protocols address the specific endocrine imbalances that contribute to your autonomic dysfunction. Through bioidentical hormone replacement and careful monitoring, we help restore the hormonal foundation that supports stable autonomic function, particularly crucial for those whose dysautonomia worsens with hormonal changes.
Directly targeting the autonomic nervous system, acupuncture has emerged as a potentially powerful tool for individuals with these POTS, dysautonomia and ME/CFS, with clinical studies showing up to 70% reduction in key symptoms across multiple trials. Our experienced practitioners use evidence-based point combinations specifically selected for autonomic dysfunction, targeting the measurable imbalances that contribute to your symptoms. This ancient practice offers a gentle yet effective way to support nervous system regulation, often providing relief when other interventions have reached their limits.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback is a technology enhanced approach for improving autonomic nervous system function. During sessions, you watch your HRV patterns on a screen (real-time biofeedback) while practicing specific breathing techniques and receiving guidance on how to achieve a more balanced nervous system state, known as "coherence."
Research has shown that regular HRV biofeedback training can lead to lasting improvements in autonomic function, with benefits including reduced anxiety, better stress management, improved sleep quality, and enhanced recovery from physical exertion - making it particularly valuable for individuals with dysautonomia and POTS who often struggle with autonomic regulation.
