Because life is meant to live Upright.

A magazine for a body that doesn't play by the rules...

Maybe you have a diagnosis. Maybe you don't, but you know something in your body is different, and you're tired of being told it's "just anxiety" or "it's all in your head." Either way, Upright was made for you.

POTS / MCAS / hEDS...It's not all in your head...

The invisible aspect of these conditions and lack of easily accessible information on them - and gaslighting from doctors - can make it feel like its all in your head. It can be incredibly frustrating to have to be the one to educate yourself and figure out your own treatments, especially when your body is already running on near empty. We're here to ease that process and explain why these things are happening in your body and exactly what to do to start feeling better.

Not just POTS. Not just MCAS. Not just hypermobility. All of it, together.

Most medical care treats POTS, MCAS, hEDS/HSD, and other co-occuring conditions (like long-COVID, chronic fatigue, etc.) as completely separate experiences. And that's if you happen to land with a provider that knows what these conditions are. But if you're living in one of these bodies, you already know that these conditions overlap and feed into each other constantly. Upright is built around that overlap. Every issue explores the interconnectedness between diagnoses instead of pretending they exist in silos.

One place, instead of a hundred saved posts on Instagram

Upright is a mix of health education, tangible tools, real resources, and honest hope for healing — all wrapped in something beautiful enough that you'll actually want to hold onto it.

If you've spent hours falling down research rabbit holes trying to piece together reliable information about POTS, MCAS, hEDS/HSD, or long COVID, you already know the problem isn't a lack of information — it's that the good stuff is scattered across a hundred corners of the internet, some credible, some not, and almost none of it easy to find again when you need it.

Upright is meant to be the opposite of that. One trustworthy place for education and treatment tools that lives on your coffee table instead of your saved posts on Instagram that is a mess to search through — easy to return to, easy to hand to a loved one, easy to trust.

Your body deserves more than a rushed appointment and a brochure

And let's be honest, are we even at a point where there are brochures on this stuff?? Not really. But even if we were, Upright is not a pamphlet from a doctor's office. It's a magazine filled with art — from patients, from nature, from the kind of beauty that reminds you your body is worth caring for. Every page is curated by people who have lived this, who understand what it's like to need information that's simplified and thorough, but not dumbed down or overwhelming. Healing information deserves to be beautiful. So does your coffee table :)

Join us as we hear from professionals in the field and people living with these conditions, to help you live an Upright life!
