One day, I will be able to say Dr. Yo helped me recover from this nightmare. 4 years of this phenomenon and lately I’m starting to get a good grip on myself and my issues. Also, Mario had some great advice and I will be coming back to this video periodically.
Thank you for giving me mental permission to “flip the switch” I’ve experienced all of these symptoms down to the heart palpitations caused from the anxiety of the other symptoms. Almost in tears after no longer feeling alone with these symptoms after months of fruitless research. Can’t wait to check out the videos and start the healing process. Where should I start?
Damn. His symptoms are exactly same as mine. I have done 2 brain MRIs, 2 heart echos, countless blood tests through out last 2 years. Drs found nothing. I am sooooo relieved to find this channel. Thank you so much. I have lived in so much misery. Omg. Thank you
Ibrahim, you are in the right place. I am SO sorry you're going through all this. I hope it is a relief to know that recovery is totally possible and actually quite simple for many people.
I am so thankful for this story. It sounds much like my journey except I didn’t find your channel until this last month. I was diagnosed over a year ago and my symptoms were getting better. However I got really sick with a viral cold at the end of December and when I was at the height of my sickness I lost my Dad suddenly. All of this sent me into a blip in my journey. This blip has been extreme and hard. But I’m glad I found this channel.
I am so sorry for your loss Robert. My heart goes out to you. I want you to know I see this quite commonly- grief is 100% one of the emotions that can keep danger mode going.
Thank you for sharing Mario!! You were very lucky to find the solution and recover so quickly. I have had similar symptoms, plus many more, for 11 years now. I discovered the mind body connection after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket. I have been doing the mind body approach for about 2 years now and I have improved about 30% or somewhere around there depending on the day. I must admit that it very hard to listen to stories with 100% recoveries in such very short amounts of time, but I am very hard for you man because it's a rough road regardless of the amount of time you have been on it!
It is so hard, David. I know. These success stories are a double edged sword sometimes. Rest assured there are others whose roads are longer and who get better too. I know you'll get there.
Thanks Dr. Yo and Mario for making this video. I went to many doctors and had a brain MRI , carotid artery test and VNG test and they all came back clear . The visual disturbances and dizziness was over powering and made me very depressed . I found watching all your videos and currently viewing your online course the most helpful to my recovery. It made me look at all the stress symptoms in my life that provoked the dizziness. Thank you again and I’m pushing through my fear of going out to stores and each time gets a tiny bit easier .
MRIs, vision therapy, prism glasses, chiropractor, ENTs, TMD specialists, Neurologists, numerous Emergency room visits, psychiatrists, Vestibular & inner ear testing .. all nothing. I just found this channel and I'm relating to so much that he saying. It's 1:30 in the morning, and I'm watching all of your videos tomorrow. It's been 18 months, and I'm losing hope!
I can resonate a lot with many things you said during the interview. I've had episodic vestibular migraine for 2 years. They never really affected my life because they were infrequent. It's only when vestibular migraine turned into PPPD that my life turned upside down. I was blessed because I was able to get out of that chronic state in less than 3 months and that's because I refused to stop moving. Even when I was unbalanced and dizzy, I still made it to the gym. Even when I was dizzy, I still out and socialized. I only found this channel recently and suddenly it all made sense. I did the free course because I wanna equip myself with all the tools so I don't fall into the trap of PPPD again. I know, I might still experience dizziness episodes but I'm no longer scared of them. I can't thank this channel and Dr. Yonit enough.
His story is like i was listening to myself. Going from doctor to doctor, they did not found nothing- i was happy for a second but after a second again thinking: it can not be like nothing is wrong with ne if i am living on a boat 24/h... and why am i feeling NOT dizzy on a bike or in the swiming pool or wakeboarding and so on... and in the supermarkets i feel like my legs are jelly. I am doing now my personal journy to get better., i ended my toxix relationship, SPORT set me free., and not seqrching on internet what kind of tumor i have- helped me to. Thanks for your chanel- gave me feeling i am on the right way
I cried watching this video. I went through the exact same symptoms, the exact same disturbing thoughts, dp/dr, etc etc. It is such a relief to hear other people that have lived the same things you did... Mario, I would like to send you an email, would you be ok with this? Thank you a lot!!!
Such a beautiful interview, he gave out so much. I already feel better since I m facing a set bk for last 2 days. Thank you both of you for putting some light on this illness.
Dr. Yo, thank you for sharing these wonderful stories. This along with your conversation with Dr. Schubiner have been a game changer. Mario and I have a very similar story and I too am on my way to a full recovery. Nothing helps more than changing one's mindset. Keep up the selfless and exceptional work! Stay blessed ❤ Mikhail

thank you for yet another great video. I am so grateful for you and everything you do to help people. I am finally feeling so much better too and only to hope to be better and better thanks to you.
Love this. I've only recently learned about PPPD, and have been living with it for over nine years, but since having found this channel my improvement has been remarkable. Do people who have had this for as long as I have also recover? Thanks for your work on this!!
YES. I have a few clients I've been working with who had dizziness for 20+ years before they found these methods. They are all improving. I don't actually see a relationship between the length of the symptoms and people's ability to recover. That said, sometimes people whose symptoms started a long time ago have had longer to build up fear, and that needs to be addressed in order to get better. In contrast, others don't really fear their symptoms anymore and it's just about working through emotions.
@@timfowler6558 Mostly just imbalance and sometimes headaches/muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. Vision is slightly off, but better than it used to be. I'm actually better at night than in the am, not totally sure why.
Thanks Dr Yo and Mario! Great video. I’ve had a bit of a ‘blip’, for no apparent reason, so back to watching your videos daily Dr Yo as they always seem to help me. You’re an angel 😇❤️🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing, Mario and thank you, Dr Yo. Mario, I have very similar symptoms to what you had. The TMJ is the latest/most recent symptom. I strongly suspected that it was PPPD related and I was right. I am following Dr Yo's program diligently. I hope to recover soon. Way to go, Mario. So happy for you!
Thanks Dr Yo, perfectly timed for me as always. I've been doing well on my recovery and reclaimed most of my life but having a bit of a down this week (stress bucket overflowing as a close friend been diagnosed with terminal cancer and also fighting a cold so my resistance is low). This was just what I needed to remind me that I can do this! Mario gave such good advice.
Catherine, I am so very sorry to hear about your friend. This is devastating news. It makes sense that your brain would turn those danger signals back on. It is temporary. Hang in there.
This has to be one of the best success stories just by him saying "you have to push yourself" because its so easy to be like oh no not again then sit out and try not to think about it whilst literally thinking about it 😄 so im learning to try carry in whilst feeling it but sometimes its too hard and sitting out and watching videos is the best option. I havent had the mri but im convinced its just my anxeity because ive had it since i was a teenager and the symptoms have changed throughout the years my brain just holds onto them for long periods of time until they change again and the struggle continues lol. I know with these videos i will get better
Wow, Mario, and Dr Yo...thank you so much for sharing this video. Again there were some things that made me realize what i should change!. ..love these video's... really hope for much more of these...🥰🙏
Hello Dr Yo, first of all thank you so much for all your resources. You have replied to me in the past and I am really appreciative of all the support you give, big or small. I wanted to ask you if perhaps you already had a video on this - I personally suffer from depression, and a lot of the thoughts I have surrounding chronic dizziness affect my mental illness - does this make chronic dizziness worse? There are so many feelings of helplessness and hopelessness tied to my dizziness like 'this has affected my life in every possible way and disconnected me completely from everything'. Although I have started and continue my road to recovery from dizziness (still awaiting a diagnosis) - I often ask myself if other chronically dizzy people have the same consequences from a mental health perspective?
Hi Margot, I actually do not have a video on this but absolutely, this is something many people who deal with chronic symptoms also suffer from. The way I view it, they are not two different things- they are both part of the same problem. It makes complete sense why you would feel hopelessness and disconnection in response to your symptoms. You are not alone in that and it is a completely normal and human response to dealing with something very very difficult. That said, underlying both the dizziness and the depressive feelings tend to be the same emotional and stress-related causes.
Thank you for sharing your story Mario. I'm so glad you have recovered and give us hope. I just started vrt but l agree just movement and doing stuff is helpful. Trying not to focus so much on symptoms is key. Thank you Dr Yonit you are a blessing and thank you again Mario.
Love hearing these recovery stories! How far into his recovery did his symptoms stop going up and down? Like feeling better then worse then better then worse.
Ive been struglling for dizinness and poor balance for a year now and no one can help 9 doctors already. But i found a hope today . Pls send me proper link to follow the steps. Thank u so much
Hi Mickel! I would recommend taking my free course on healing chronic dizziness. All of my recommendations and techniques are condensed in this self-paced course and it is 100% free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
The biggest thing for me is reminding myself that if it was something terminal or medical why would it go away when I’m calm / walking / on a benzo …. Etc .
I am so sorry to hear you are also experiencing this, please check out my free course if you have not already. It offers my techniques and recommendations all for free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@TheSteadyCoach thank you for putting the course together,I believe I will heal. I have had most of the specialist tests, and nothing shows up. However,I have developed tmj disorder after years of teeth grinding, maybe thats the cause of my dizziness. Thanks for having positive stories of people who have recovered, is beautiful to hear and encouraging. Thank you.
@samia2604 I could be better, am still going through the dizziness, some days are better than others, stress also amplifiers my symptoms 😢, tmj is also still there. I am working on reducing the fear of the symptoms/sensations, that might help. I think sleeping with affirmations on around safety, telling the subconscious mind 'i am safe', is something I plan to try. Recovery is a marathon, but we will get there, with patience and consistency.
Thank you for this! I went to see the oto neurologist today after my relapse being in a very busy and visually overload stimulation a month ago. I have PPPD, He said to start again VRT for the next 6 months /1 year but he said to not push too much especially in visually overloaded environments, to not push too much going into malls or something like that, but Mario said to push through, but I always get worse if I spend too much time with too much visual stimulation. What do you think I should do?
This is a tough call. I am more concerned about the "how" than the "what." There is some amount of discomfort and exposure that needs to happen to get better, but there are different ways to approach this: "I AM PUSHING THROUGH BECAUSE I HAVE TO STOP MY SYMPTOMS NOW" and "I am doing this in a kind way to show my brain that everything is safe." The latter method is more effective.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for your answer! I’ll start VRT again (for me it was very effective) and start to expose my eyes little by little trying to tell myself I’m ok
I've have every symptoms he had I'm trying so hard to get back to me it's been over 2years I've seen every kind of doctor of a blood work mri's CAT scans you name it unbelievable couldn't find anything wrong with me seeing the chiropractor did PT so some of my family thinks I have Lyme disease so I see a holistic doctor if I do have lime I do not know 100% sure but I like I said I have every symptom of this guy and what he went through it's just Dawns on me that's been over two years it's so sad because I also went to a mental health facility for 3 months did not help thought I was going crazy but I'll keep going in the name of my Lord Jesus that one day this will be all gone
it is very sad. Many people I work with have suffered for years without the correct treatment or diagnosis. But with the correct information, they often get better remarkably quickly. Please watch some of the other videos on my channel- they will help!!!
I pray this helps me , I’ve been sick for two years and was even tricked into getting a sinus surgery that made this worse because the doctor Marco bianchi in Stratford Connecticut remove tissue in my nose that wasn’t needed
Dr Yo, i really liked this video. Also watched the one on visual vertigo. But i would so much like to learn more about the visual vertigo. I try not to be bothered by it. But some days it is really worse than other days and than i still get scared feeling this. I do know my stress level/ anxiety is high and that was the cause 1.5 years ago. But i just keep having doubts why my brain does not work well together with my eyes now. What i feel is; - cant focus very well on close or far - i feel / see a bit delay when i look from right to left or other ways - scrolling on a Phone gives a dizzy moment sometimes - and on and off i cant see sharp in wide spaces or tight spaces... Are these all normal when having pppd? And...is the way to recover from this also the same as we do. for pppd?🙏🙏🙏 please make more video's about this .
@Mario Thanks!!! Did you notice your eye problems got less when your anxiety/ stress got less? I am getting better and better at just letting the symptoms be there...but these eye stuff makes me scared still.. What about reading a book...also better to not do that now you think? And..1 more thing, i can try to avoid screens and phone...but, now you are feeling so well again, can you use your phone/ computer etc again as normal? I dont mind putting it away as much for some time...but i hope that after i while when all sensations get less or better... i am able to do all normal things again😅😅😅
@Mario I also have that lack with convergeren....do you feel that you had to do eye training? Or would you also have recovered without it...just by getting more relaxed? And would you think this convergeren....also came from stress?
Mario, so good to see you here!!! I agree 100% with everything Mario said. I can certainly create more content on visual symptoms but they truly are all from the same source.
prima voglio salutarti, CIAO! Mario thank you for sharing your story. Do you feel your sinus infection caused true physiological symptoms? Overtime the symptoms stayed and with Dr. Yonit’s approach you were able to move past these. Initially I had occipital neuralgia and continue to do so. They also believe I had a virus, possible ear infection. Yonit’s approach has helped at least 50% but I feel the occipital neuralgia and inflammation often explained to me on the left side of my head and shoulder are keeping me from healing 100%. This is what makes it difficult to believe this approach will remove actual real physiological issues without treating with hands on therapy, supplements and food intake. Basically trying to put a stop to the vicious cycle of inflammation which is difficult to believe neuroplasticity alone can directly reverse. Problem is 2 years later, inflammation still there. Any advice?

I believe that inflammation plays a huge role in my dizziness. I have allergies and arthritis. Am I anxious because I am dizzy or is anxiety causing my dizziness? I struggle with this everyday. Thank goodness I have a supportive husband.
Hello it’s been 5 years suffering the same problem like visual vertigo ,pbbv, imbalance can’t able walk almost like bedridden I can’t able to take care of my family feeling guilty I don’t know how to overcome and where i am seen multiple doctors they are ready to give deppresion medicine immediately nobody is listening my side even family members also telling nothing in brain and mRI lost my hope daily I watch your you tube videos but my path not cleared help me where I can start and how pls🙏
@@TheSteadyCoach exactly like mine. mdds (feeling of floating, blurred vision, like walking on a boat) dr. yo can help me to heal. what do I have to do. Thank You. greetings from Indonesia
Hi Dr Yonit, i was wondering. You speak about; once the switch happens... etc somewhere around 30 minutes. Could you explain a bit extra what the "switch" is, what you have to do or feel or ....to make thus switch🙏
Hi Arianne, the switch is when you understand and believe that your body is healthy and that the symptoms are brought on by your nervous system due to stress.
Mine came on after illness but also working in a bad work environment. All of my tests come back normal. I’ve seen neurology, ent, dentist, pt, chiropractic, everyone. No one seems to be able to figure it out. Is it just stress? I’ve been under extreme stress for years.
What if our dizziness is caused by VBI? How do we make sure if it's that or not? How many of us could have a very serious condition...? Not all of us get water coming out of our ears or have ear infections etc (of course) x
VBI is rare in people who are not elderly. It can be diagnosed using proper imaging techniques and it has very specific symptoms that do not follow neural circuit dizziness patterns. When a younger person comes to me worrying about VBI, that person usually has normal tests and also has a history of health anxiety and worrying about other health conditions, and that is one way I help that person reach the conclusion that he or she does indeed have neural circuit dizziness. I almost never meet clients with chronic dizziness who have a true physical cause to their symptoms- because they can be treated via medical or surgical means. The first step in establishing whether you have neural circuit dizziness or not is getting medical clearance.
I was Mario, if you had brain fog because I have severe brain fog and it would get so bad u would forget """everything """"" and have to write so many notes and would scream and yell with frustration saying I think I have ahlzeihmers or dementia, but wondering what am I going through I bn to optomologist, neurologist, did CT scan as well for tumor, mri see if had pinched nerve in neck, been to ENT had jaw problems and diagnosed TMD disorder got braces, cardiologist, chiropractor, felt so off imbalanced feel weird walking, it really resonated with me when u said u felt something pressing down on your head, that was the scary feeling, pressing down on my shoulders like this heaviness in my head and shoulders, I was just wondering if brain fog was an issue I can't focus concentrate remember???? I do chiropractor adjustments, I do have severe depression severe anxiety panic attacks ocd intrusive thoughts suicidal thoughts. It's bn a roller coaster Yes did mouth guard had tension headaches neck pain figure it was the jaw issues yes thought I had a brain tumor as well Ty, In Health and Well Being
Hi Dr Yonit, i have a few short questions about my eyes/ vision stuff that i would so much like to ask @mario Is there any way i could get in contact with him? I am.doing really a LOT better since finding you here. So much is improved.. I am just still struggling with my eyes. Its..the focus on stuff looking far away or close/ there is still a lot of times a minimal delay in getting sharp. Focussing is still hard, but changing always. It depends on the day/ moment/ surroundings what i see...I am still wondering why this is happening. It feels like your eyes or not ok...but i know they are not "sick". I have been tested. I also was at the opticien. But ofcourse they also say you can take glasses..I just dont think i need them. I guess its the collaberation between eyes and brain. But i just dont understand why this is not going right🙈 My Journey started with burnout stress symptoms. When this got better, i got bppv 5x. And than i got pppd. Before all this my eyes were perfect. During burnout my eyes also felt weird. Bit than that got better. Than since pppd my eyes are on and off feeling weird and slow? Hope you can do a topic on this. I think there are more people who have problems with the eyes since pppd...? I JUST really would like to understand why this feels like it does. Understanding it is normal when going trough this pppd, will give me some rest maybe. I notice myself, getting more worried if this eye thing is something that i DO have to check out AGAIN🙈🙈🙈 please could you and or Mario give some advice?
Hi Arianne, visual symptoms like yours are super common with neural circuit dizziness- I actually do have a video about this! th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSteadyCoach I saw it! It is a great video...but still i have some specific questions🙈would it be possible to email Mario? I think his experience could help me with these last stuff... And...dr Yonit, do you think these eyes problems, could they also resolve and get back to normal when stress is gone?
i thin he was.. very lucky to recover so quickly... or maybe he found the right ways :( I was sure I was recovering but.....since few weeks I think I have long road still
Ups and downs are a normal part of the process. Please try not to get discouraged. The more you remind yourself it’s normal and temporary, the faster the symptoms will go down.
It's not the most important part of helping people with dizziness that is explained by neuritis immediately after the issue, but if symptoms have persisted longer than a few months and/or after vestibular therapy, then yes! If you watch Daniel's story, he had neuritis initially.
Is possible to talk with Mario?, I'm in Italy and Young and nobody here can give me answers, I would like to talk to a native person who can direct me on the right path
Hi there, I do not recommend functional neurology based on the experiences my clients have had with them. Most practitioners that I have encountered via my clients' experiences take a body-based approach and do not address the causes of symptoms (emotions, stress, trauma). That, and these approaches are usually incredibly expensive and rely on technologies that are not evidence-based. This is not to say that there aren't good practitioners out there, but there does not seem to be a regulating body that differentiates between snake oil salesmen and excellent practitioners.
One day, I will be able to say Dr. Yo helped me recover from this nightmare. 4 years of this phenomenon and lately I’m starting to get a good grip on myself and my issues. Also, Mario had some great advice and I will be coming back to this video periodically.

@@timfowler6558 Mostly just imbalance and sometimes headaches/muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. Vision is slightly off, but better than it used to be. I'm actually better at night than in the am, not totally sure why.
Thanks Dr Yo and Mario! Great video. I’ve had a bit of a ‘blip’, for no apparent reason, so back to watching your videos daily Dr Yo as they always seem to help me. You’re an angel 😇❤️🇬🇧
You're so, so welcome, Kim. I know the downs are brutal. Hang in there. You will pull through.
Thank you so much for sharing this video Dr and Mario. Dr you are truly saving lives with sharing your knowledge and advice. ❤
Thank you for these kind words and for trusting me! It is truly my privilege!
Thank you for sharing, Mario and thank you, Dr Yo. Mario, I have very similar symptoms to what you had. The TMJ is the latest/most recent symptom. I strongly suspected that it was PPPD related and I was right. I am following Dr Yo's program diligently. I hope to recover soon. Way to go, Mario. So happy for you!
You will get there too, Lien- I know you can fully recover.
Thanks Dr Yo, perfectly timed for me as always. I've been doing well on my recovery and reclaimed most of my life but having a bit of a down this week (stress bucket overflowing as a close friend been diagnosed with terminal cancer and also fighting a cold so my resistance is low). This was just what I needed to remind me that I can do this! Mario gave such good advice.
Catherine, I am so very sorry to hear about your friend. This is devastating news. It makes sense that your brain would turn those danger signals back on. It is temporary. Hang in there.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you, I will.
This has to be one of the best success stories just by him saying "you have to push yourself" because its so easy to be like oh no not again then sit out and try not to think about it whilst literally thinking about it 😄 so im learning to try carry in whilst feeling it but sometimes its too hard and sitting out and watching videos is the best option. I havent had the mri but im convinced its just my anxeity because ive had it since i was a teenager and the symptoms have changed throughout the years my brain just holds onto them for long periods of time until they change again and the struggle continues lol. I know with these videos i will get better
I am so glad Mario's story resonated with you! ❤
Thanks for the reply!❤
Thank you for sharing! I'm so happy for you! I definitely needed this today!
I'm so glad that this resonated with you Kelly! ❤
Wow, Mario, and Dr Yo...thank you so much for sharing this video. Again there were some things that made me realize what i should change!. ..love these video's... really hope for much more of these...🥰🙏
I will do as many of these as I can! Most people don't want to be TH-cam stars but when they are willing to, it helps so many people!
Thank you ❤
Hello Dr Yo, first of all thank you so much for all your resources. You have replied to me in the past and I am really appreciative of all the support you give, big or small. I wanted to ask you if perhaps you already had a video on this - I personally suffer from depression, and a lot of the thoughts I have surrounding chronic dizziness affect my mental illness - does this make chronic dizziness worse? There are so many feelings of helplessness and hopelessness tied to my dizziness like 'this has affected my life in every possible way and disconnected me completely from everything'. Although I have started and continue my road to recovery from dizziness (still awaiting a diagnosis) - I often ask myself if other chronically dizzy people have the same consequences from a mental health perspective?
And thank you to Mario as well! It's so nice to hear recovery stories from Europeans as well :)
Hi Margot, I actually do not have a video on this but absolutely, this is something many people who deal with chronic symptoms also suffer from. The way I view it, they are not two different things- they are both part of the same problem. It makes complete sense why you would feel hopelessness and disconnection in response to your symptoms. You are not alone in that and it is a completely normal and human response to dealing with something very very difficult. That said, underlying both the dizziness and the depressive feelings tend to be the same emotional and stress-related causes.
@@margotmcdonald7585 Hi! How are you?
Hi Mario. Great stuff.
Just wanted to know when you were going through all this did u actually take any medication to get some relief?
Thank you for sharing your story Mario.
I'm so glad you have recovered and give us hope.
I just started vrt but l agree just movement and doing stuff is helpful.
Trying not to focus so much on symptoms is key.
Thank you Dr Yonit you are a blessing and thank you again Mario.
Jill, so pleased to hear this interview helped! You can do it!
Love hearing these recovery stories! How far into his recovery did his symptoms stop going up and down? Like feeling better then worse then better then worse.
@Mario that's great to hear. Hoping for something similar for myself. When you became symptom free did it just randomly happen one day or gradually?
Do you have any videos or advise to stay positive for people (me) who are seeing progress for sure, but taking long time??
It's so hard, I know! I have a success story coming soon from a lovely lady (Sam) who took 2 years to recover. She gives amazing advice. Stay tuned.
@@TheSteadyCoach yay can't wait for that!! awsome!!
Ive been struglling for dizinness and poor balance for a year now and no one can help 9 doctors already. But i found a hope today . Pls send me proper link to follow the steps. Thank u so much
Hi Mickel! I would recommend taking my free course on healing chronic dizziness. All of my recommendations and techniques are condensed in this self-paced course and it is 100% free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
The biggest thing for me is reminding myself that if it was something terminal or medical why would it go away when I’m calm / walking / on a benzo …. Etc .
Exactly!
I'm going through similar issues, 😔 the dizziness and derealization are the worst 😫, its 2 years now😭
I am so sorry to hear you are also experiencing this, please check out my free course if you have not already. It offers my techniques and recommendations all for free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@TheSteadyCoach thank you for putting the course together,I believe I will heal. I have had most of the specialist tests, and nothing shows up. However,I have developed tmj disorder after years of teeth grinding, maybe thats the cause of my dizziness. Thanks for having positive stories of people who have recovered, is beautiful to hear and encouraging. Thank you.
@@wildflower7925how are you? The teeth grinding/tmj is also a big trigger for my dizziness 😢
@samia2604 I could be better, am still going through the dizziness, some days are better than others, stress also amplifiers my symptoms 😢, tmj is also still there. I am working on reducing the fear of the symptoms/sensations, that might help. I think sleeping with affirmations on around safety, telling the subconscious mind 'i am safe', is something I plan to try. Recovery is a marathon, but we will get there, with patience and consistency.
Thank you for this! I went to see the oto neurologist today after my relapse being in a very busy and visually overload stimulation a month ago. I have PPPD, He said to start again VRT for the next 6 months /1 year but he said to not push too much especially in visually overloaded environments, to not push too much going into malls or something like that, but Mario said to push through, but I always get worse if I spend too much time with too much visual stimulation. What do you think I should do?
This is a tough call. I am more concerned about the "how" than the "what." There is some amount of discomfort and exposure that needs to happen to get better, but there are different ways to approach this: "I AM PUSHING THROUGH BECAUSE I HAVE TO STOP MY SYMPTOMS NOW" and "I am doing this in a kind way to show my brain that everything is safe." The latter method is more effective.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for your answer! I’ll start VRT again (for me it was very effective) and start to expose my eyes little by little trying to tell myself I’m ok
I've have every symptoms he had I'm trying so hard to get back to me it's been over 2years I've seen every kind of doctor of a blood work mri's CAT scans you name it unbelievable couldn't find anything wrong with me seeing the chiropractor did PT so some of my family thinks I have Lyme disease so I see a holistic doctor if I do have lime I do not know 100% sure but I like I said I have every symptom of this guy and what he went through it's just Dawns on me that's been over two years it's so sad because I also went to a mental health facility for 3 months did not help thought I was going crazy but I'll keep going in the name of my Lord Jesus that one day this will be all gone
it is very sad. Many people I work with have suffered for years without the correct treatment or diagnosis. But with the correct information, they often get better remarkably quickly. Please watch some of the other videos on my channel- they will help!!!
Hi!! How are you ?
Great video :)
I’m Italian too, would it be possible to get in contact with Mario maybe?
If you send me an email, I will forward your email to him! info@thesteadycoach.com
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you really :)
I pray this helps me , I’ve been sick for two years and was even tricked into getting a sinus surgery that made this worse because the doctor Marco bianchi in Stratford Connecticut remove tissue in my nose that wasn’t needed
Dr Yo, i really liked this video. Also watched the one on visual vertigo. But i would so much like to learn more about the visual vertigo. I try not to be bothered by it. But some days it is really worse than other days and than i still get scared feeling this. I do know my stress level/ anxiety is high and that was the cause 1.5 years ago. But i just keep having doubts why my brain does not work well together with my eyes now. What i feel is;
- cant focus very well on close or far
- i feel / see a bit delay when i look from right to left or other ways
- scrolling on a Phone gives a dizzy moment sometimes
- and on and off i cant see sharp in wide spaces or tight spaces...
Are these all normal when having pppd? And...is the way to recover from this also the same as we do. for pppd?🙏🙏🙏
please make more video's about this .
@Mario Thanks!!! Did you notice your eye problems got less when your anxiety/ stress got less?
I am getting better and better at just letting the symptoms be there...but these eye stuff makes me scared still..
What about reading a book...also better to not do that now you think?
And..1 more thing, i can try to avoid screens and phone...but, now you are feeling so well again, can you use your phone/ computer etc again as normal? I dont mind putting it away as much for some time...but i hope that after i while when all sensations get less or better... i am able to do all normal things again😅😅😅
Oh...and you did not do eye training did you?!😅
@Mario I also have that lack with convergeren....do you feel that you had to do eye training? Or would you also have recovered without it...just by getting more relaxed?
And would you think this convergeren....also came from stress?
Mario, so good to see you here!!! I agree 100% with everything Mario said. I can certainly create more content on visual symptoms but they truly are all from the same source.
@Mario Thank you. You are an angel to take the effort to answer me.this! Thanks for being here!🙏🙏🙏
prima voglio salutarti, CIAO! Mario thank you for sharing your story. Do you feel your sinus infection caused true physiological symptoms? Overtime the symptoms stayed and with Dr. Yonit’s approach you were able to move past these.
Initially I had occipital neuralgia and continue to do so. They also believe I had a virus, possible ear infection. Yonit’s approach has helped at least 50% but I feel the occipital neuralgia and inflammation often explained to me on the left side of my head and shoulder are keeping me from healing 100%. This is what makes it difficult to believe this approach will remove actual real physiological issues without treating with hands on therapy, supplements and food intake. Basically trying to put a stop to the vicious cycle of inflammation which is difficult to believe neuroplasticity alone can directly reverse. Problem is 2 years later, inflammation still there. Any advice?

I believe that inflammation plays a huge role in my dizziness. I have allergies and arthritis. Am I anxious because I am dizzy or is anxiety causing my dizziness? I struggle with this everyday. Thank goodness I have a supportive husband.
Hello it’s been 5 years suffering the same problem like visual vertigo ,pbbv, imbalance can’t able walk almost like bedridden I can’t able to take care of my family feeling guilty I don’t know how to overcome and where i am seen multiple doctors they are ready to give deppresion medicine immediately nobody is listening my side even family members also telling nothing in brain and mRI lost my hope daily I watch your you tube videos but my path not cleared help me where I can start and how pls🙏
After a very long time searching, I finally found help for what mystery condition this is, manifested as PPPD. Thanks Dr Yo!
Totally curable and not a life sentence!
@@TheSteadyCoach I so very happy and fortunate I've come across your channel and these testimonials
@@TheSteadyCoach exactly like mine. mdds (feeling of floating, blurred vision, like walking on a boat) dr. yo can help me to heal. what do I have to do. Thank You. greetings from Indonesia
Hi Dr Yonit, i was wondering. You speak about; once the switch happens... etc somewhere around 30 minutes.
Could you explain a bit extra what the "switch" is, what you have to do or feel or ....to make thus switch🙏
Hi Arianne, the switch is when you understand and believe that your body is healthy and that the symptoms are brought on by your nervous system due to stress.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks 🙏
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks🙏
Mine came on after illness but also working in a bad work environment. All of my tests come back normal. I’ve seen neurology, ent, dentist, pt, chiropractic, everyone. No one seems to be able to figure it out. Is it just stress? I’ve been under extreme stress for years.
Stress can absolutely cause physical symptoms like these. This video explains: th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
What if our dizziness is caused by VBI? How do we make sure if it's that or not? How many of us could have a very serious condition...? Not all of us get water coming out of our ears or have ear infections etc (of course) x
VBI is rare in people who are not elderly. It can be diagnosed using proper imaging techniques and it has very specific symptoms that do not follow neural circuit dizziness patterns. When a younger person comes to me worrying about VBI, that person usually has normal tests and also has a history of health anxiety and worrying about other health conditions, and that is one way I help that person reach the conclusion that he or she does indeed have neural circuit dizziness. I almost never meet clients with chronic dizziness who have a true physical cause to their symptoms- because they can be treated via medical or surgical means. The first step in establishing whether you have neural circuit dizziness or not is getting medical clearance.
All of this . Yes . One day I will also be able to say dr yo helped me ❤

I was Mario, if you had brain fog because I have severe brain fog and it would get so bad u would forget """everything """"" and have to write so many notes and would scream and yell with frustration saying I think I have ahlzeihmers or dementia, but wondering what am I going through I bn to optomologist, neurologist, did CT scan as well for tumor, mri see if had pinched nerve in neck, been to ENT had jaw problems and diagnosed TMD disorder got braces, cardiologist, chiropractor, felt so off imbalanced feel weird walking, it really resonated with me when u said u felt something pressing down on your head, that was the scary feeling, pressing down on my shoulders like this heaviness in my head and shoulders, I was just wondering if brain fog was an issue I can't focus concentrate remember???? I do chiropractor adjustments, I do have severe depression severe anxiety panic attacks ocd intrusive thoughts suicidal thoughts. It's bn a roller coaster
Yes did mouth guard had tension headaches neck pain figure it was the jaw issues yes thought I had a brain tumor as well
Ty, In Health and Well Being
Brain fog happens so often with these kinds of conditions, unfortunately- the brain is working extra hard and doesn't have leftover processing power.
Hi Dr Yonit, i have a few short questions about my eyes/ vision stuff that i would so much like to ask @mario
Is there any way i could get in contact with him?
I am.doing really a LOT better since finding you here. So much is improved..
I am just still struggling with my eyes.
Its..the focus on stuff looking far away or close/ there is still a lot of times a minimal delay in getting sharp. Focussing is still hard, but changing always. It depends on the day/ moment/ surroundings what i see...I am still wondering why this is happening. It feels like your eyes or not ok...but i know they are not "sick". I have been tested. I also was at the opticien. But ofcourse they also say you can take glasses..I just dont think i need them. I guess its the collaberation between eyes and brain. But i just dont understand why this is not going right🙈
My Journey started with burnout stress symptoms. When this got better, i got bppv 5x. And than i got pppd. Before all this my eyes were perfect.
During burnout my eyes also felt weird. Bit than that got better.
Than since pppd my eyes are on and off feeling weird and slow?
Hope you can do a topic on this. I think there are more people who have problems with the eyes since pppd...?
I JUST really would like to understand why this feels like it does.
Understanding it is normal when going trough this pppd, will give me some rest maybe.
I notice myself, getting more worried if this eye thing is something that i DO have to check out AGAIN🙈🙈🙈 please could you and or Mario give some advice?
Hi Arianne, visual symptoms like yours are super common with neural circuit dizziness- I actually do have a video about this! th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSteadyCoach I saw it! It is a great video...but still i have some specific questions🙈would it be possible to email Mario? I think his experience could help me with these last stuff...
And...dr Yonit, do you think these eyes problems, could they also resolve and get back to normal when stress is gone?
i thin he was.. very lucky to recover so quickly... or maybe he found the right ways :(
I was sure I was recovering but.....since few weeks I think I have long road still
Ups and downs are a normal part of the process. Please try not to get discouraged. The more you remind yourself it’s normal and temporary, the faster the symptoms will go down.
@@TheSteadyCoach i hope… we will have a lot to talk about in our next meeting
@@ErnestoGAmmerata Hi! How are you ?
@@yendryrojas not so bad …. But in the last two months I have been great 😊
@@ErnestoGAmmerata I'm very happy to hear it. How were your dizziness and what did you do to improve?
So what he used to heal was rethink his morning thoughts told himself he was still healing and worked in the garden and still cycled?
Dr. yonit if we have been living with this for over a year or years, what you are saying we can all heal?
24/7 dizziness
YES! I've seen people with it for 20+ years recover.
@@TheSteadyCoach How to overcome mam
Is this good for vestibular neuritis? or is it only applicable for pppd?
It's not the most important part of helping people with dizziness that is explained by neuritis immediately after the issue, but if symptoms have persisted longer than a few months and/or after vestibular therapy, then yes! If you watch Daniel's story, he had neuritis initially.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you very much for all the help, I still have faith that things will continue to improve. greetings from Chile
Is possible to talk with Mario?, I'm in Italy and Young and nobody here can give me answers, I would like to talk to a native person who can direct me on the right path
This would save my life, I'm struggling so much and nobody knows anything
I've passed your info on to him!
Someone told me you should try functional neurology, do you think that this works ?
Hi there, I do not recommend functional neurology based on the experiences my clients have had with them. Most practitioners that I have encountered via my clients' experiences take a body-based approach and do not address the causes of symptoms (emotions, stress, trauma). That, and these approaches are usually incredibly expensive and rely on technologies that are not evidence-based. This is not to say that there aren't good practitioners out there, but there does not seem to be a regulating body that differentiates between snake oil salesmen and excellent practitioners.
What did he do to recover? New Mindset? Did I miss something?
I'm dizzy all the time even when I'm calm
I am sorry you are going through this. You will see that on this channel, you are not alone ❤
Has anyone been diagnosed with binocular vision dysfunction?
Many people here got the BVD diagnosis and that was not the cause of symptoms. I discuss BVD in this video: th-cam.com/video/o0F6n_QB4iU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I want to start your program but I’m not sure if I should dump my prism glasses or keep them.
Sudden urges to cry ? Have u heard of this
Absolutely- excellent indicator of the nervous system in a high alert state.
