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. 

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Dr. Jenna Green joins me, Dr. Madison Oak, for this episode all about vestibular rehab therapy (VRT)! If you don’t know, Dr. Jenna is my work wife inside Vestibular Group Fit.

One thing you’ll hear us stress is that you can be not ready for VRT. We’ve both (kindly) kicked people out of therapy before because it wasn’t the best option for them at that time.

There’s a lot we unearth not just about what VRT actually looks like, but also how to find the best setting and physical therapist for your treatment.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Sometimes TIME is the most proactive thing you can do for your body, to regulate your system.

There is a huge upside to telehealth VRT, so don’t worry if you don’t have a trained PT in your area. You have options!

Most vestibular PTs are kind and highly empathetic people. They want to know if you’re feeling a certain way about your exercises. For the best benefit to you, VRT needs to be a collaborative experience. 

If you have any other questions about vestibular rehab therapy—what VRT is, the types of exercises prescribed in VRT, or if Vestibular Group Fit is right for you—DM us! You’ve got our contact info below.

People constantly ask me what the difference is between PPPD and vestibular migraine. It can be very difficult to distinguish between the two—and that can be really frustrating.

And it is possible, with a little information and guidance, to figure out which you may be dealing with.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

What I want you to know is that both of these are treatable and get better.

A comprehensive treatment plan is the best approach no matter if you’re dealing with PPPD or vestibular migraine. 

If you need help with this, it’s exactly what we do inside VGF (use code GROUNDED at checkout)!

Every single vestibular disorder has the exact same set of symptoms, so that makes it challenging to know what you’re dealing with and what to do about it. Today we’re talking specifically about the differences between vestibular migraine and Meniere’s disease.

Quick example: while Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine can both cause room spinning vertigo, how they look in practice is wildly different. 

Tune in to learn how to spot the differences between the two, which disorder is more rare, and what treatment options are available for Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Whether you have Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine, or both, the truth is that they are incredibly disruptive to your life. And while both can be frustrating diagnoses to treat—they are both treatable. Having the right treatment plan and healthcare providers will make a big difference in your life.

Feeling safe in movements and exercises (like pilates or yoga) can seem like a tall order when you have vestibular migraine or dizziness. But it’s not hopeless!

Many people think that group is just about strength training or doing super intense workouts that they could “never do,” but that’s not the case. Inside Vestibular Group Fit, we offer lots of different classes! Pilates and yoga are two of them.

In this episode, Dr. Madison interviews VGFit’s in-house yoga and pilates instructor, Candy Price. 

In Candy’s previous episode on the podcast, the conversation was focused on yoga (definitely go listen to that one!). This time around, the conversation explored all things pilates and dizziness disorders. 

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

Confidence and trust in your body is something that people with dizziness disorders feel like they lose or have a hard time building back up. Exercising in a way that you enjoy is the #1 way that you can do that. 

If you’re struggling with your vestibular disorder—whether it’s a newer diagnosis or you’ve been looking for solutions for years—VGFit is here for you. We’ve curated the best instructors, class styles, and so much more to get back to feeling good and secure in your body.

In today’s episode we are talking about weather and vestibular disorders. One of the things people ask about the most is what to do about the weather?!

And—no surprise to anyone—it’s one of the biggest topics of conversation inside Vestibular Group Fit.

We’re in the middle of fall and heading toward those winter weather changes. If this is a time of the year you struggle with, this is the episode for you! (Don’t worry! If you’re catching this in the spring, this information will still be helpful.)

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

It’s so important that you build your threshold and expand your bucket so weather changes become less triggering over time. It’s a process, but there is hope! Check the links below for things you can add to your toolkit.

I see people using the Epley Maneuver wrong all the time—and it drives me up the wall. We clearly need to talk about this.

A lot of people are trying to treat their positional vertigo from vestibular migraine—or any dizziness—at home with the Epley Maneuver because that’s what the internet says to do. But let me tell you—it is not the thing to do. 

Even though the Epley Maneuver feels like magic, it’s physics and gravity—and there are times you do and don’t want to use it.

Tune in to discover differences between BPPV and vestibular migraine, the one time the Epley Maneuver should be used with BPPV, and mistakes made with the Epley Maneuver.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

If you do have the one type of BPPV this maneuver works on and you do the correct Epley Maneuver treatment for the correct side, it should be 80-90% successful. It should not take months for you to feel better—if you have the right diagnosis and the correct treatment.

People ask me all the time, “Does Botox work for vestibular migraine?” 

Another common question people ask is, “Is it going to get rid of my dizziness?” That question is missing the point. When you’re treating vestibular migraine, you’re not treating the dizziness. Does Botox work for VM? Yes, but not because you’re treating the dizziness.

In this episode, you’ll hear me synthesize a study that dove into the impact of Botox on vestibular migraine—how it works, who it works for, and some important things to know if you’d like to explore this treatment for yourself.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

If you think Botox is just freezing the muscles and therefore vestibular migraine goes away—no. As you heard in the episode, there are way deeper things going on.

Dr. Kostelnik shares the piece that’s been missing from the mindset conversation, clears up a huge misunderstanding about somatics, and shares two things you can do today to regulate your nervous system simply by addressing your mindset.
