Let’s talk about something I’m seeing more and more in the clinic—dysautonomia caused by chronic inflammation. And no, you’re not imagining it. The symptoms are real, even if they’re hard to explain or don’t show up clearly on standard labs.
Dysautonomia happens when the autonomic nervous system—the part of your body that controls things like heart rate, digestion, blood pressure, and temperature—stops working the way it should. It’s like the body’s internal wiring gets scrambled. You may feel lightheaded when standing, have a racing heart, random sweating, gut issues, or a deep fatigue that just won’t lift.
So what’s behind it? In many cases, chronic inflammation is the driving force. Inflammation isn’t always bad—it’s part of the healing process. But when it lingers too long, it becomes destructive. It can irritate the nervous system, weaken the vagus nerve, and trigger an overactive fight-or-flight response that the body struggles to turn off.
Many of our patients dealing with dysautonomia have histories of mold exposure, long COVID, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, or even years of high stress. And often, they’ve seen multiple providers, only to be told “everything looks fine.”
At Vallee Health Repair, we don’t stop at “normal labs.” We dig deeper to uncover what’s really going on. We ask the questions that don’t always get asked—about your environment, your immune system, your gut, your stress load. Because dysautonomia isn’t random. There’s a reason the body’s out of balance.
The best approach is to calm the inflammation, support the nervous system, and help the body reset. That might involve IV nutrient therapy to replenish depleted reserves, peptides to aid repair, or supplements that target inflammation and mitochondrial function. Sometimes you may need to bring in vagus nerve support and nervous system retraining.
Healing from dysautonomia isn’t a straight line—but it is possible. With the right plan and the right support, your body can come back into balance.
If this sounds like you—if you’ve been brushed off, told it’s anxiety, or feel like no one’s listening—I want you to know: I see you. I believe you. And there is hope.
With love and healing,
