A Groundbreaking book that is helping flexible people around the world!
It turns out that chronic pain, digestive problems, severe headaches, anxiety, allergies and sensitivities, joint stiffness, ADHD, neuropathy, and more can all be caused by one underlying condition, and unexpectedly, it is the same thing that can cause joint flexibility: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder.
Once considered to be rare conditions, hEDS and HSD are now recognized to be under-diagnosed and under-treated. People are suffering and need help now. Hypermobile and Happy offers an effective, self-empowering, and inspiring solution for people with problematic hypermobility. It gives step-by-step guidance for lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, alternative therapies, simple exercises, and finding the right professional and medical help.
Shannon E. Gale shares her experience treating herself and working with her family, friends, and clients at her holistic healing center to heal symptoms naturally. Also included is information about hEDS and HSD, as well as 38 related health conditions, 25 self-healing techniques, a glossary of terms to use when speaking with your health professionals, an extensive and detailed list of recommendations for products and experts, and hundreds of source citations to give you the power to start your own healing journey.
Shannon E. Gale has been named one of the Top 20 Inspiring Women to Look Out for in 2025 by NY Weekly magazine. A professional ballet dancer, holistic healer, and award-winning author, Gale spent decades suffering with a miserable, unexplained, invisible, chronic illness. Then in 2023, she made an astonishing discovery: the same flexibility that helped make her a beautiful ballet dancer was present not only in her joints but also in most of the other tissues in her body. It was responsible for seemingly unrelated symptoms in all of the systems in her body, and she soon found out that all of her flexible relatives and friends also shared some of these symptoms. Gale set to work developing a protocol based on her holistic healing experience and backed up by the scientific literature, and within a handful of months, she had left her chronic illness behind. Her relatives and friends began experiencing improvements as well. Gale is now active on Instagram and Facebook, raising awareness of hypermobility-related conditions so that others do not have to suffer as long as she did and can begin their healing journeys right away.
