The Sensitive Body Summit with Michelle Shapiro, RD
Get your passFor every body that’s been called “too complicated.”
You react to foods, smells, stress, heat, even standing up, and nobody can tell you why. Maybe you’ve been told it’s MCAS, POTS, long COVID, hypermobility, or histamine intolerance. Maybe you’ve never gotten a name for it at all. The top experts in highly sensitive bodies, all in one place: food, the gut, hormones, and your nervous system. Every one of them does an interview with me, then walks you through something you actually do.
$47 through Friday, January 22. After that, the replay is $97.
The summit happened. Every interview and activity is recorded and waiting for you.

- Hear me out
- It’s NOT your fault if you’ve been told it’s anxiety.
- If you did the detox, the protocol, and the IVs, and felt worse every time.
- If a practitioner looked at you and said, “We’re not sure what to do.”
It’s not that the information was wrong. It’s that the information wasn’t for you.
— MichelleThey were wrong. It’s all in your body.
Years of waiting, and a lot of “it’s probably anxiety.” You are not the only one, and you are definitely not too complicated.
- ~20 yrs
- the average wait for a hypermobile EDS or hypermobility diagnosis
- 69%
- of POTS patients were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder first
- 17M
- US adults living with long COVID right now
- 4 yrs
- later, on average, that women get diagnosed than men, across 770 diseases

It’s not “just stress.” It’s your nervous system.
Your nervous system and your mast cells talk to each other all day long. When your body doesn’t feel safe, your guards may release more histamine. Then the symptoms tell your nervous system you’re in danger, and the loop keeps going.
That may be why a hard phone call can feel like a full-body reaction, why you can be exhausted and wired at the same time, and why your anxiety feels so physical.
So this summit doesn’t just hand you another food list. Alongside nutrition, you’ll get nervous system resets, somatic practices, and breathwork you can do lying down, so your body can start to feel safe enough to heal.
- 01Something feels like a threat
A smell, a food, heat, a hard conversation.
- 02Your guards sound the alarm
Histamine and stress hormones flood in.
- 03Your body reacts
Racing heart, flushing, gut trouble, panic.
- 04Your brain reads it as danger
And the loop starts all over again.
- Every session here is meant to help break that loop somewhere.
What’s your body doing?
You don’t need a diagnosis to be here. Most sensitive bodies do a few of these, and the summit has a place to start for every one.
- The Big Heart
Dizzy when you stand
Your heart works overtime for you, literally.
Hot showers, long lines, and summer wipe you out. Blood pools when you’re upright, and your heart races to pull it back up. Sometimes diagnosed as POTS.
Start with: POTS isn’t a heart problem
- The Super Sensor
Reacting to everything
Your body notices everything before anyone else does.
Fine with broccoli, wrecked by an orange. Wine, perfume, and leftovers set you off, and the allergy tests say “normal.” Often histamine, sometimes diagnosed as MCAS.
Start with: Getting foods back
- The Protector
Wired, but exhausted
Your guards are on duty 24/7, because you’ve been holding everyone together.
Anxiety that feels PHYSICAL, and a hard week equals a flare. That’s a nervous system stuck in protect mode.
Start with: Why your guards are on high alert
- The Overachiever
Crashing after you do too much
Aw, did you girlboss yourself into a flare?
One good day, three bad ones. Your body runs on a smaller energy budget, and spending past it triggers the crash. Common with long COVID.
Start with: Long COVID: fuel before you fix
- The Intuitive
Worse at certain times of the month
You can feel every week of your cycle.
Fine on day 27, a mess on day 7. Estrogen and histamine raise each other, and perimenopause turns it up.
Start with: Why day 7 feels worse
We’re really not the fun ones.
A highly sensitive body reacts almost the opposite of other bodies. Push it, and it treats it like an attack. So we do it the other way around: stabilize first, root cause later.
What you’ve probably been told
- Do the mold detox, the parasite cleanse, ten supplements at once
- “You’re detoxing, that’s why you feel worse”
- “Why don’t you lose five more pounds?”
- “Just go breathe”
- “Your case is too complicated”
How we do it
- Bring the heat down first, then rebuild, then root causes
- One supplement at a time (sometimes an eighth of one)
- Nervous system work that’s more than “just breathe”
- Every tool on the table, with no shame about meds
- There’s no such thing as too complicated
I rolled myself to the bathroom in a computer chair.
After mold, COVID, and a chiropractor who dug into my (hypermobile) neck, standing up sent my heart rate to 180. All my best friends are functional medicine doctors. Nobody knew what was wrong with me. The detox made me sicker. The IVs made me sicker.
There was so much information online, and not one piece of it applied to me.
Once I cracked the code (MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility, all feeding each other), I promised I’d share it. My team and I have now worked with over 3,000 clients. I made this summit for the version of me in that computer chair.

Every expert gives you an interview with me and an activity you do with them, in four formats. Pick up what your body needs and set the rest down.

Breathwork
Guided sessions that help your nervous system feel safer. Every practice is meant to be adapted, so you can soften it or stop at any point.

Interviews
Honest conversations with practitioners who work with sensitive bodies every day: food reactions, dizziness, crashes, gut trouble, hormones, and the nervous system.
- Move gently03
Workouts
Low-impact movement built around pacing, with lower-intensity options for days when your body says no thank you.
- Track it04
Seminars
Teaching sessions on how to notice your triggers and patterns, track your flares, and bring clearer questions to your care team.
Meet your speakers
Every person on this lineup gets highly sensitive bodies. Nobody is going to spend their session convincing you your symptoms are real.

This could be your success story.
Real reviews from the Highly Sensitive Body™ Hub and my Histamines & Hormones masterclass. Everyone’s body is different, and so is every path.
I’m a different person after joining the HSB Hub.
“Thank you so much for all of this amazing information in one spot!!!”
This webinar was more validating and encouraging than any training, webinar, course, doctor, etc I’ve ever seen before.
I cannot put into words my gratitude for this hub!
“This has already changed my life.”
The amount of times I cried during this webinar!!
“It felt so validating, there is a reason my body is reacting this way.”
I first want to say I am so grateful for this incredible resource.
“I cannot begin to thank you for sharing this information that HEDS and MCAS are connected.”
The HSB Hub is life-saving.

Every expert interview. Food reactions, dizziness, energy crashes, gut health, hormones, pain, and the nervous system.
Every guided activity. Breathwork, reconditioning, nervous system resets, cycle mapping, and more, so you leave having DONE it.

Questions, answered
Reading this from bed with your legs up the wall? This was made for exactly you.
Join the waitlist Join for $47 Replay $97Do I need a diagnosis to join?
No. Most sensitive bodies never get a clear name for what’s happening, and conditions like MCAS, POTS, and EDS are notoriously hard to diagnose. If your body reacts more than you’d expect, this is for you.
I’m so overwhelmed. Is this one more thing?
The Where to Start guide points you to two or three sessions for your type. You don’t have to watch everything.
Do I have to watch it all on January 21?
No. The recordings are yours to keep. Watch in any order, lying down, across as many days as your body needs.
What if I’m in a flare that day?
Then put on the audio with your legs up the wall, and come back to the activities when you’re ready.
Are the activities safe for me?
Every activity shows the easiest version first, and you can stop any time. Check with your own doctor before starting anything new.
Will there be captions or transcripts?
Yes. Every session has captions, and you can download a transcript of each one.
What’s your refund policy?
Change your mind before the summit? Email us by 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 20 for a full refund. Once sessions open on January 21, all sales are final. Terms of Purchase
Is this a replacement for medical care?
No. It’s educational, made to help you understand your body and have better conversations with your own doctors.
There is always something we can do.
Thursday, January 21. Every interview, every activity, and the recordings to keep.
$47 through Friday, January 22 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Then $97.
