(I’ve also got a ton of date and meetup ideas for you!)

  • 124. What is Prodrome for Vestibular Migraine?

    124. What is Prodrome for Vestibular Migraine?
    Jan 27 2026

    Prodrome is one of those things I get asked about a lot. But not in the way that’s quite so direct.

    Most people don’t know that what they’re asking me about is actually “prodrome.” The question usually comes in as something like, “I’m having [insert symptom]—why is that?”

    In this episode, we’ll dig into:

    • The 4 phases of a vestibular migraine
    • What to know about the interictal phase
    • Symptoms of prodrome you might be missing
    • How to start tracking your prodrome phase
    • How to treat the prodrome phase

    As mentioned, some people think they don’t have a prodrome phase of their migraine when in reality… they’re just missing it.

    Prodrome is pretty cool because you can get yourself out of the attack simply by recognizing your symptoms. (Yeah, pretty powerful!)

    We have so many more resources about building your toolkit and growing a bigger bucket waiting for you in Vestibular Group Fit (use code GROUNDED for 15% off your first subscription cycle).

  • 123. VGF & the Vestibular Virtual Summit Changed Her Life: Juli’s Story

    123. VGF & the Vestibular Virtual Summit Changed Her Life: Juli’s Story
    Jan 20 2026

    “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:

    • Juli’s backstory & her experience with chronic dizziness
    • Her very recent vestibular disorder diagnosis
    • How Juli knew something was wrong
    • What type of treatment Juli has had since her diagnosis
    • What Juli wants others to know about the VNG balance test
    • What led Juli to Dr Madison & VGF
    • The importance of identifying your triggers
    • How VGF has positively impacted Juli’s life
    • What Juli does regularly to build a bigger bucket
    • How Juli started to ask for help & build a support system

    “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!

    119. The Difference Between BPPV and Vestibular Migraine
    Dec 23 2025
    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: The difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine The one similarity between BPPV and vestibular migraine The role the inner ear crystals play in BPPV What the Epley maneuver can be used to treat How vestibular migraine can cause positional vertigo How to treat BPPV vs vestibular migraine 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. If you’re in the holiday challenge and listening today, please send me a DM for extra credit.
