“I woke up one day and my whole world was spinning—and it hasn’t stopped since.”

I’d love to introduce you to Juli, a Vestibular Group Fit member!

She’s here to tell you her story—including:
How she waited over 3 years to be seen by a neurologist.
What she got out of last year’s Vestibular Virtual Summit.
And how she flew to Vegas for a trip this year!

I know it can be so supportive to hear other peoples’ success stories of being able to successfully live—and thrive—with a vestibular disorder. These are some of my favorite conversations to have!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

“I’m not alone, there’s a community in Vestibular Group Fit.”

You’re likely already doing some things right, just like Juli with her toolkit (before she knew they were a real thing). In VGF, you get to build on that! 

In group, you discover new tools to add to that toolkit, better advice for your unique situation, and you’re able to rebuild that self-trust that’s been eroded by time and healthcare providers telling you “nothing is wrong” when clearly—there is. Hope to see you in there!

Plenty of people deal with motion sickness or dizziness—but it goes to a whole other level when you’re living with a vestibular disorder. Which is why the trending topic of Meclizine has made it to today’s podcast!

Meclizine is an antihistamine used to treat nausea, motion sickness, and even dizziness. 

So… is this something you should consider taking if you have vertigo or a vestibular migraine? Is Meclizine something to take for acute events or long term? What else do you need to know about this drug? Tune in to find out!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

As with all things discussed on the podcast, talk with your doctor to see if Meclizine is a good for you and your situation.

You heard some of the side effects associated with the drug, as well as some alternatives and what to focus on long-term for improved vestibular health. 

Remember Vestibular Group Fit is focused on just that—improving your vestibular health and helping you learn to manage your vestibular disorder. Find the link below to join today!

The stages (or phases) of migraine are important to understand because when we’re talking about vestibular migraine a lot of people say they feel symptomatic all the time. 

That’s not only very possible with VM—it’s also vital to know which phase you’re in so you know how to treat it.

Each of the 5 phases of migraine can last different amounts of time and need to be treated differently.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Everyone experiences the stages of VM differently. Give yourself time and space to start noticing what’s going on with your body and your unique rhythm. 

Writing down (tracking) your symptoms is a necessary step to understanding how you experience the stages of migraine and makes treatment much easier!

And if you’d like more support to manage your migraine attacks, that’s exactly what we do inside Vestibular Group Fit!

We absolutely cannot live without magnesium. And if you have vestibular migraine (VM), you need magnesium even more.

But the type you’re taking and how much not only varies person-to-person—but is super confusing to try to figure out on your own!

In this episode, I’m covering the research on magnesium, how magnesium helps with VM, and the different types of magnesium.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

People are frequently asking about the difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine (VM), so we’re getting into that on this episode!

Aside from them both causing nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), these are not even a little bit the same thing.

But vestibular migraine can cause nystagmus which can present identically to BPPV—and that can be really confusing for providers and patients alike!

So… let’s explore how you can determine what’s what and what the appropriate treatment options are for each.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

It’s critical to land on the correct diagnosis in order to know which treatment path to choose. The best way to tell what you’re dealing with is to work with a physical therapist because in science, we find that they’re the best people to diagnose.

And remember, it is possible to have more than one vestibular disorder and to not feel dizzy everyday.

What should you do if you’re dealing with neck pain and vestibular migraine—or another vestibular disorder.

Remember: vestibular migraine can be the cause of neck pain itself without anything being wrong with the neck.

The first thing is to identify where the pain is coming from so you can take the proper actions to manage the pain, but there are 3 key areas you want to consider.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

It is completely normal to not actually want to move your neck because that typically makes you feel more dizzy. And… it’s going to help you so much more in the long run if you welcome movement back into your neck. 
Start slowly, consider joining us in VGF, and know that you’re doing a great job even by listening to a podcast episode like this!

PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?” 

To get to that answer, we’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis.

It’s both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what’s going on and what to do about it next.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you. 

A great place to start is VGF! Support, education, and community—all of that plus more resources than you can imagine are waiting for you in Vestibular Group Fit.

We’re talking about supplements for migraine—there are a lot of different ones!

And just because something works for someone else doesn’t necessarily mean it will also work for you.

Sometimes these supplements don’t work for people at all. And other times they work really well—even better than some medications.

As with all things migraine management, it’s very person dependent.
