The reason you are on my channel is probably because you are dizzy and want to know how to get better. While the best way is to work with someone who specializes in dizziness, that is not always possible. In this video, I outline the seven steps I use with my clients and patients to help them recover. You can implement this program yourself for free or at low cost with time and discipline. Here are some of the resources I mention in this video:

Thank you as ever Yonit for your generosity in sharing this information. As you say not everyone can afford or access the vital support necessary to understand and heal from this. 🌸
This is very important to me. Everyone deserves to have access to this information. Everyone should have power in his or her own healing.
This has helped me to see where this dizziness has come from. I am exactly like you described. High strung anxiety ridden person. My marriage and raising three children and help raising 2 grandchildren has been full of major stressors. Alcoholism drug addiction and my own indisrections . Husband's illness and then 1and a half years ago his death after 56 years of marriage. My dizziness started about 5 years ago and has taken that long to find a diagnosis. You have helped me to begin a new understanding of myself. And working towards healing my wounds and therefore my dizziness. Thank you. I am taking your videos. One day at a time.
Mary, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry it’s taken so long to find out how the terrible stress you’ve been under has affected your body. It makes sense, right? Knowledge is the most important tool here. I know you will get relief.
How are you ???
Totally agree about stress and psychosomatics and emotions that are blocked.
Thank you Dr Yonit really helps a lot
You are so welcome, Ronny!
New videos, yay 😁
This was so helpful and encouraging…thank you so much!!!♥️🙏🏻♥️
You are so welcome!
I just recently found you and appreciate your work. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your knowledge.
You are so welcome, Paula!
Yonit,
SO informational not just for dizzy patients but also for hearing healthcare providers. This is such important information and is often misunderstood. THANKS for helping make it so clear and understandable.
Sue!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ take a look at the course too! It’s free! Lisa can give you the link!
I just found this channel and I have hope for the first time in almost 2 years!!!! You explain and are answering all the questions I’ve been asking but have never gotten the answers to! Thank you for sharing these ! I am looking forward to working through them all and healing myself !!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
❤ ❤ I am so glad you found my channel too, Alesia! Thank you for trusting me with your healing! It is truly a privilege!
Your videos are really helping me through a tough time. Can’t thank you enough for making this channel. Keep it up!
Landon, thank you so much for your kind words. Knowing that this information is doing good out there for people like you means a lot to me.
Your videos are always so helpful. Thankyou for taking time out to do these for all of us suffering!
Hi Rebecca! Good to see you here! How are the walks going?
It's the first time I would need more than one thumb up. The content is really good but your approach to elaborate on the topic is life changing. Thanks
I ve seen doctors and they were diagnosing with a sham component or being without a plan to help..
And then there is you, thanks...
You're very welcome, Hare! It truly is my privilege to be able to share this information!
Dear Lord, this is so helpful. One of the things I've found that helps me is the work on balance I've found in learning to play the piano and the drums. I have a TBI and vestibular
migraine, the meds I take dont seem as helpful as the little things I do for myself. There is so much benefit in taking on small challenges that conteract that damn tendency to magnify the fear brought on by the helplessness of vertigo. I have found many small tools
over the years that get me through some pretty rough rides. Talking to other traumatic brain
injury and migraine people has saved my sanity on many occasions. It's crazy, but I have
cancer, and compared to the suffering from dizziness and vertigo I've endured, it is a walk in the park. Thank you thank you.
Great advice, Blane!
Perfect
Thank you so happy I found you - I haven't been diagnosed yet but i know I have some thing- I'm not guna self diagnosed and im the process of of going through the health care - he said if my symptoms are Still flagging up in 6 weeks he needs to look more into it. I was on super high anxiety before I got dizzy the doc said it must be a ear virus but iv not recovered that was last November, the only test that is showing up at the gp is the fukuda stepping test that showed him some is up with my vestibular system but he say yeh it could be still a ear problem - I'm trying to put in the work to keep my anxiety level low which is super hard but i do want to thank you for your posts that give me hope.
Hi Vicky, I am so sorry- it is SO terrifying at first and the medical system doesn't do a lot to help. You are doing all the right things- keep working on the fear and anxiety and recognize your brain can totally handle it even if there were changes to your ear's function.
How are you??
Dear Dr. Yo,
My brother has VM/PPPD - unsure exactly which one as he has such a mix of symptoms that can be both. What we do know is that there is no tissue damage but a huge life stressor (move and then divorce) that started the spiral. Your videos are amazing and so very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and positive attitude toward healing. ❤
Hi Susan, I'm so glad you found me. I'm sure you've discovered that much of the information on the internet about these disorders is at best unhelpful and at worst, very distressing. I hope your brother is watching my videos and is relating to them. I have more coming that he might find helpful in his healing.
Just to say I never had 3PD dizziness before two occurrences of BPPV. Ever. What I did have years before was HEAD POSITIONAL ANXIETY on one side so I had to sleep on the other side. NO BPPV. This probably as due to some ear infection on that side which was perforated when I was younger. Anxiety being prolly a precursor to dizziness. Alas the BPPV I had was on the R side and strange effects on my scalp F, B and sides indicated possible involvement of trigeminal nerves and the large amount of nervous sensory tissue at the low back of the head. Strangely I found repeating Epley in the absence of BPPV but still dizzy helped markedly. The duration of the Epley stages is paramount, you have to experiment with timings. Thanks for the posts.
Hi Ruth, thanks for sharing your experiences. The Epley can become a "message of safety" for the nervous system when it's helped in the past, which could be the reason for the reduced sensations even when there is no BPPV.
You should do a seminar.
Hi Jimmy, I’ve thought about it! I’m working on a workbook right now so people who can’t afford or access a provider have some guidance, but I’ve thought about an ongoing webinar as well. I have to think a little more about how I would structure it, especially since many of my clients are all over the world. Thank you so much for your response.
@@TheSteadyCoach I really hope you do ...do something, that would be awesome!
Jimmy, I took your advice to heart and found a platform to house all my ideas. Already launched a free course and I’m running seminars and live Q&As for people who join my membership community! First live Q&A was 12/31 and my first live seminar will be toward the end of January. You’re welcome to check it out, members.thesteadycoach.com Thank you for lighting a fire under me!
@@TheSteadyCoach WOW ! You are AWESOME! Not only are you going help spread awareness and focus on this life changing affliction that Plagues so many of us . But your a light in the darkness to so many !!! That don’t know what is happening to them !!! And this is SO VERY IMPORTANT! Myself & the vestibular community THANK YOU ! For using your platform to help others... we are eternally grateful 🤝🙏🏻 good bless you!!!
So i had a regular day and it just hit me when i got out for a walk with my dog. Now i have it for couple of hours non stop but feel better. Almost 4 years of this attacks that last for days.
It sounds like a bit of an improvement. I hope things continue that way for you.
Thank you for this video! 🙏I have a question for you. Do you think antidepressants are helpful in recovering from PPPD, or are they not really necessary. My anxiety is mild to moderate but definitely affects my dizziness.
Hi Allan, there is some research supporting the use of SSRIs or SNRIs for PPPD. The research shows that they are much more effective when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, however. The majority of the clients I have worked with have not used them in their recoveries. But it’s individual. Sometimes people need a little help “taking the edge off” before they can get better. In my opinion, the most important components of healing are understanding the neural circuit explanation and being able to help the brain and body stop feeding into the danger/alarm cycle. Some people need medical support to do that, but the medicine is not very effective on its own without working on what I just described. Does that help?
@@TheSteadyCoach That was really helpful. Thak you for your response.
@@allanpineda9267 How are you ??
I have had many tests and multiple MRI’s and CT scans….also blood tests and neck and jaw Xrays……
The only thing abnormal is Endolymphatic hydrops in my ears (both)…….
Does this fall under the category of what you consider structural damage?
I was given the diagnosis of MD
Hydrops does fall into the category of structural damage, but it is still influenced by many other factors. Stress, distress, etc. affect how your body functions and can lead to dysfunction in the ear. This video explains a bit more. th-cam.com/video/20eS_sXTXBA/w-d-xo.html
I was diagnosed with Binocular Vision Disorder. Nothing physically wrong with my eyes. The symptoms are exactly the same as VM. Prism glasses helped a bit with light sensitivity, but still feeling off balance. I also had a major life stress event before my symptoms started. Have you helped anyone with BVD? Praying this helps! 🙏
BVD is normal abnormality - I specifically discuss it here! Stop chronic vision symptoms WITHOUT exercises (visual vertigo, jumpy vision, patterns & moving)
th-cam.com/video/o0F6n_QB4iU/w-d-xo.html
I underwent testing for VM and was told I have
Acoustic nerve damage (30) nystagmus )150. Damage to auditory vestibular nerves 8th cranial nerve. increased VOR time and list to left . Will this still help?
th-cam.com/video/y6UQmNSnVFo/w-d-xo.html
I got dizzy when I’m doing nothing! If I’m doing something I don’t get dizzy! Is that normal?
Hi Roberto, “normal” is a funny word in this context! I can tell you that many of my clients report this. It’s a subtype of chronic dizziness. Check out my Ask Dr. Yo video on PPPD vs MDDS- that explains the difference!
Hi Dr. Yo. Once again, thank you so much for putting these videos out. I've been in vestibular physiotherapy for the past 8 weeks and made pretty good improvements. I'm at the point now where only the more advanced exercises trigger any dizziness and/or other symptoms. I'm still struggling quite a bit with driving and grocery stores/busy environments. Any advice on how to approach these more difficult areas? Should I go driving/to the store everyday and slowly increase the time I spend doing these activities?
Congratulations on your progress, Sim! This is wonderful to hear. Graded exposure (slowly exposing yourself to triggers and gradually increasing the time) is a great option. You can also try looking for some videos on TH-cam of busy supermarkets and driving- see if you might be able to trigger any symptoms that way. You can even do some of the VRT exercises with the video in the background. And finally, I know this may seem like a weird suggestion, but you can also do somatic tracking when your symptoms are triggered while you are in the more difficult environment. You don't need to do the guided version I have posted (though you can listen to it to understand the idea). Just using the triggering of symptoms as an opportunity to tell your brain the symptoms are safe might be helpful.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you for taking the time to reply; your advice is truly so helpful! I'm going to give these strategies a try. I can see that for me I still associate driving and supermarkets with bad/increasing symptoms and therefore they aren't a "safe" place for me. I can even notice sometimes that I tense up (my neck and shoulders start to ache etc.).
@@simm231 how are you now? Did you have trouble with your eyes too? Like for me reading or even walking it’s difficult when I see movement
@@DiamondForevah I'm doing pretty good now. Still have my troubles here and there but I'm miles ahead compared to last year. I'm not seeing strong individual symptoms anymore; I just continue to work on the feelings associated with my anxiety and panic. I did/do have issues with my eyes. In my case I had my eyes tested and was told I need glasses due to astigmatism and being near-sighted. I have heard of other people with vision issues and perfect eye tests though.
@@simm231 thank you for your answer! I started vestibular rehabilitation 3 weeks ago, how long did it take to see major improvements?
Do you do privat counsultation?
Hello John, I do work with clients one on one- you are welcome to contact me via my website at thesteadycoach.clientsecure.me/ ! Just click Contact at the top of the page.
@@TheSteadyCoach Hi!!! Would this still considered PPPd if you lose consciousness after a sudden lightheaded/dizziness came on.?
@@markmj123456 hi Mark, I have had some patients whose chronic dizziness started that way. But it would depend on whether there was a medical cause or not!
Do you do zoom on the phone
Does anyone else feels almost normal in the morning, then deteriorates as the day progresses. Then vertigo at about 10 pm.
Why your chronic dizziness symptoms get worse at night (or in the morning) and what to do about that th-cam.com/video/llkSUHUsiZ4/w-d-xo.html
hey dear please could you respond to the email, i want to set an appointment with you before going to physiologist before saturday please
I like to see you also
