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.

Not just POTS. Not just MCAS. Not just hypermobility. ALL OF IT TOGETHER.

  • POTS

    Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome / Dysautonomia

  • MCAS

    Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

  • Hypermobility - hEDS

    Hypermobility / hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

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.

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.

One place, instead of a hundred saved posts on Instagram

  • The problem was never too little information.

    If you've lost hours in research rabbit holes on POTS, MCAS, hEDS/HSD, or long-COVID, you already know the good stuff exists, it's just scattered across different apps and a hundred corners of the internet. Some resources are credible and some are not, and almost all of them are never easy to find again when you need it.

  • Upright is the opposite of that.

    Upright is one trustworthy place that finally pulls it all together: health education, tangible tools, real resources, and honest hope for healing. No more guessing which source to believe or piecing it together yourself. And bonus - it's beautiful enough that you'll actually want to hold onto it!

  • Made for your coffee table, not your saved posts.

    Upright is a physical magazine on purpose. Instead of vanishing into a messy Instagram or TikTok archive you have to dig through every time, it lives somewhere you can actually find it: easy to return to when your brain is foggy, easy to hand to a loved one, and 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 :)
