In a survey of over 700 people with POTS, this is what getting diagnosed actually looked like:
You're always fighting.— the actual title of a peer-reviewed study on living with POTS
Steady On starts from the assumption that you have been through this, and that you were right all along.
In the foundational research trial behind this approach, over half of participants no longer met the diagnostic criteria for POTS after three months of graduated exercise training, alongside gains in blood volume and cardiac capacity.
Based on the published Levine/CHOP exercise protocols for POTS. Steady On adapts this research into a paced, supportive format, it's education, not medical care, and results vary. Always work with your doctor.
The counterintuitive science: for POTS, exercise only works when it starts lying down. Every session tells you what to do, how long for and how hard it should feel, then asks how it went. Weeks unlock one at a time, because going too fast is how reconditioning fails. Live in the app now.
Recumbent bike, rowing or swimming, plus floor-based strength. Build your engine without triggering the tachycardia that upright exercise brings.
Longer sessions, and the first carefully-dosed semi-upright work. A flare mode lets you repeat any week without guilt, repeating is part of the protocol, not failure.
Elliptical, walking, standing strength, and a final lean-test to measure exactly how far you've come, in numbers you can show your doctor.
Fitness apps assume a body that cooperates. Steady On assumes brain fog, flare days, heat intolerance and a heart that overreacts, and designs for them.
Repeat a week with one tap. Nothing resets, nothing shames you. The programme bends so you don't break.
A private, properly-moderated members' space: newly diagnosed, week-by-week programme threads, doctors & meds, and wins worth celebrating.
One tap to evidence-based counter-manoeuvres, leg-crossing, fist pumps, cooling, breathing. That work in the moment. Offline, always.
Heart rate by position, lying, sitting, standing, with time, tags and notes. A guided NASA Lean Test. Charts made for appointments.
Apple Health and Health Connect (Samsung, Fitbit, Garmin) capture your heart rate through the day, so your trends are not built only from the moments you felt bad enough to log. Arriving with the phone apps, Android first.
A symptom burden score from your own logs, next to your standing heart rate and lean-test change, baselined on the month before you started. It reports a worse month as plainly as a better one.
Community-tested compression, electrolytes and equipment, clearly labelled when links are affiliate, never pretending to be medical advice.
You don't have to wait. Create a free account and you get the full 12-Week Reset, heart rate by position, fluids, salt and symptoms, the guided lean test, weather and cycle tracking, the rescue page, a private link for a parent or partner, and a doctor report you can print. Plus the honest answer to whether any of it is helping. No card, no trial.
First access, founding pricing, and a say in what gets built. That's the deal.
