89. Surviving Summer: Tips for a Less Dizzy Season


Listen Later

Summer can be a time of sunshine, vacations, and outdoor fun—but for those with vestibular disorders, it can also mean more dizziness, fatigue, and sensory overload. In this episode of Grounded: The Vestibular Podcast, we break down how the heat, travel, and dehydration can impact your vestibular system—and what you can do about it.

From practical hydration strategies and sun-sensitivity tips to navigating summer events without crashing, we’re sharing ways to protect your nervous system and enjoy the season with more stability and less overwhelm. We also touch on how to plan for travel, manage overstimulation, and build in recovery time so you don’t miss out on the moments that matter.

Whether you’re heading to the beach or just trying to survive a neighborhood BBQ, this episode has your back (and your balance). 🌞🌊
