Where the vibes are stronger than the connective tissue
Whether you’ve got EDS, hypermobility, POTS, MCAS, dysautonomia, or just a body held together with vibes and kinesiology tape, welcome!
Who We Are
Jess Kyle
Jess is an entrepreneur, movie theater popcorn enthusiast, and Neutral Good “feelings friend” whose love language is unpacking generational trauma over coffee.
As a menopausal mom of teenagers with hypermobile EDS and dysautonomia, she’s here to be real - your bendy bestie who calls bullshit when she sees it.
Dr. Katie Ford, PT, DPT
Katie is a doctor of physical therapy, known plant murderer, and mega-nerd about all things strength training, health education, and biomechanics, who once read an entire textbook about bodybuilding just for fun.
She is the founder and owner of Cultivate Strength in Tulsa, OK as well as a hypermobile queen living with hEDS and POTS. Katie can roast herself, late-stage capitalism, and the medical system all in the same breath.

What We’re About
Bendy Baddies is about making the bendy life a little less lonely, a lot more hilarious, and backed by science you can actually trust.
We aren’t trying to fix you, because you’re not broken. We’re here to sit with you on the proverbial couch (ideally with lumbar support) and share life hacks, juicy nuggets of evidence-based info, laughs, and the occasional meme.
This is a space for every flavor of bendy: hypermobile, classic, vascular, all of it. And we can’t forget our POTS, MCAS, and dysautonomia crew! Basically, if your body didn’t come with the standard-issue manual, you’re one of us.
