    96. Nervous System Regulation for Vestibular Migraine
    Jul 15 2025
    Most people think regulating their nervous system means being calm all the time or doing breathing exercises. It does not. Having a regulated nervous system is not about feeling calm all the time. It’s about how you are able to respond to difficult and new stimuli. Because that is a fact of life that’s not going anywhere! Nervous system regulation looks like a lot of different things depending on the person. We’re going to explore all the things you can do to have a more resilient and regulated nervous system. Your brain is overstimulated and overreacting to a lot of things. It is not your fault. But you can rewire your way out of VM. In this episode, we’ll dig into: What the nervous system is in charge of What the emotions thermometer is Why fight / flight / freeze is not a bad thing Why migraine attacks happen Why avoidance or elimination doesn’t solve the problem What true self-care is (with examples) How to rewire your brain with nervous system regulation It’s not just the symptom—it’s your nervous system’s response to that symptom that makes it feel like X, Y, Z is causing your life to fall apart. Emotions are not in our control. But we do have control over our thoughts much of the time. Remind yourself this can get better, that you do have a toolkit. Because being in the throes of a migraine attack is scary and unsettling. The ability—over time and with practice—to identify what you can do to regulate yourself and start to feel better allows your nervous system to become more flexible.

    94. Clearing the Fog: Understanding Brain Fog and Vestibular Disorders
    Jul 1 2025
    If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving through life with your head wrapped in cotton—unable to think clearly, focus, or find the right words—you’re not alone. In this episode of Grounded: The Vestibular Podcast, we dive into one of the most frustrating and misunderstood symptoms of vestibular disorders: brain fog. We explore what brain fog really is, how it’s connected to conditions like vestibular migraine, PPPD, and inner ear dysfunction, and why it’s more than just “being tired.” You’ll learn about the neurological and physiological causes behind this cognitive cloudiness—from sensory overload and poor vestibular compensation to medication side effects and chronic stress. But we won’t leave you hanging in the haze. We’re also sharing 10 practical strategies to help lift the fog and reclaim mental clarity—ranging from diet and hydration tips to pacing, vestibular rehab, and cognitive tools that actually work. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your vestibular journey, this episode is here to remind you: you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. Tune in for science, support, and strategies that ground you. Links/Resources Mentioned: Vestibular Group Fit (code GROUNDED at checkout!)
