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.
Our integrative approach combines progressive medical strategies with evidence-based lifestyle interventions to address dysautonomia comprehensively. Our practitioners conduct thorough assessments, considering physical symptoms, emotional well-being, lifestyle factors, and potential underlying causes of fatigue. Based on these evaluations, we develop personalised treatment plans that may include targeted nutritional support, medications and lifestyle modifications.
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.
Our expert dietitian, Evan Waterhouse, understands the unique nutritional challenges often experienced with dysautonomia, including orthostatic intolerance, post-prandial symptoms, and gastrointestinal motility issues. He provides practical, judgement-free nutrition support that accommodates hydration needs, meal timing sensitivities, and autonomic fluctuations. His personalised nutrition plans aim to stabilise blood pressure, optimise electrolyte balance, and support overall wellbeing while respecting individual symptom patterns and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Our specialised approach to Long-COVID & dysautonomia exercise physiology focuses on safe reconditioning that respects post-exertion malaise while gradually rebuilding capacity. Our clinicians understand the unique challenges of post-viral exercise intolerance and orthostatic intolerance (difficulty tolerating upright positions), and use evidence-based protocols to slowly restore cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and autonomic function without triggering symptom flares or orthostatic episodes.
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.
High-dose vitamin injections, including B12, vitamin D, and immune-supporting nutrients, delivered directly into the bloodstream to bypass potential absorption issues common in Long-COVID and provide immediate cellular support for energy production and immune function.
Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is an innovative auditory therapy showing promise for individuals experiencing Long-COVID symptoms. Developed by world-renowned researcher Dr. Stephen Porges, author of The Polyvagal Theory, SSP aims to address the autonomic nervous system dysregulation often seen in Long-COVID patients.
Guided by a clinical psychologist, SSP uses specially filtered sounds to stimulate the vagus nerve and recalibrate the autonomic nervous system. This process helps retrain the nervous system to better differentiate between safe and dangerous signals, potentially alleviating many Long-COVID and dysautonomia symptoms.
An innovative, non-invasive therapy for long-COVID, dysautonomia and POTS that works by stimulating the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system response. Our evidence-based program includes a personalised protocol and take-home device, allowing you to complete daily treatments comfortably at home. Clinical research shows tVNS can significantly improve autonomic function, reduce orthostatic symptoms, and enhance quality of life. Regular check-ins with our team ensure your treatment remains optimised for the best results.
Hormonal imbalances can play a key role in dysautonomia conditions like POTS, long-COVID and CFS, affecting energy levels, cognition, and mood. Our Nurse Practitioners (NPs) develop personalised treatment plans that consider the unique hormonal challenges faced during puberty, perimenopause, and other life transitions.
For both men and women, we offer comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options, alongside thyroid optimisation and adrenal support, complemented by targeted lifestyle and nutritional interventions. This integrative approach aims to restore hormonal balance and autonomic function, potentially leading to significant improvements in energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
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.
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.
