Meet the wonderful Kim. This free-spirited surfer was struck by intense vertigo, but this was just the beginning. What followed was a long and hard journey, marked by debilitating symptoms that turned her life upside down. Listen in to her persistent quest to find a quick solution and how that took her through menopause, a life transition, and not having a place to live.
Kim went to such dark places that, for some time, she did not want to go on anymore. Learn how she finally found acceptance and began moving toward recovery. She will talk about how the coaching group and community helped her, why you shouldn't be afraid of needing medication, and the power of spirituality and IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy. Today, Kim finds reason and great value in her incredible journey.

I’m only 29, been dealing with this since I was 15. I struggle going anywhere. I stopped going to stores, places with my kids which I hate because I feel like my life has drastically changed. For a while I was ok and would go anywhere but for some reason I started focusing so much on getting better and finding a cure that it has made my anxiety and panic attacks so much worse and I feel like it’s just never going to go away. I hope to one day move past this and live my life the way I always wanted too.
There is hope. I have worked with several people whose symptoms started as teens. My first question would be to look at what was going on in your life right before the symptoms got worse recently.
When I was looking at the triggers that added up and ultimately resulted in chronic dizziness, I wondered why more younger people don’t have chronic dizziness. It’s kind of a build up of stressors and there comes the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. Sort through the stressors. I have noticed in the success stories, something they all have in common is limiting contact with energy vampire situations/people who don’t resonate with your sensitivities. Moving forward when you can. Create a good day when you can
I’m so sorry you got this so young, but it makes sense to me why it happens
I wish I could give this a 2nd thumbs up!❤
Thank you SO much for sharing your story! I’ve been dealing with very similar symptoms for almost 2 decades, with flare ups off/on.
Nice lady, she was easy to listen to. Glad she found what was needed to get better.
She's lovely!
I watched this to the end but still have no ideah how she hot better, what was her turning point, this all sounds very much psychological issues? I am really lost, i have terrible symptoms but this just confused me way more can you elaborate?
This video will clarify: th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Kim and also dr Yo for bringing us another helpful story . Each day is a new and different day , thankful for the words , I have found that words have profound power , if not for dr Yo I’m not sure how I would be coping right now . I find joy in the smallest of things and along with my spiritual beliefs I press forward knowing this can be managed . When I live my life and continue to accomplish things I call that ‘ a victory ‘ . Thank you again for your genuine care for all of us ❤
Such beautiful words, Denise!
I think we need to start to focus on letting go of body tension and less on overthinking this PPPd! Maybe! God Bless!
Very wise words!
Thank you Meg, You have given me hope x
Omg my symptoms also started October 25th 2023 !!! 😮how crazy. Soo glad you’re doing better! I can’t wait to start this program !!! Your story helped me so much thank you for everything !! ❤️🩹
What a perfect storm! I’ve felt the same way, perfect storm of PPPD, long covid and menopause. So eternally thankful for your sharing and Dr. Yo for your everything!!!!
Totally a perfect storm!
Great video, very interesting. Thank you
This was so good. She is so relatable especially as a fellow surfer. Appreciate the honest non shaming discussion about meds and how physical conditions like menopause fit into the equation.
Congrats Kim 👏👏👏
Another awesome success story! Thank you for sharing, Kim and Dr. Yo! It is so inspiring! ❤
Dr. Yo you are extremely important to this community. I hope one day I will be able to come out of this as well and be on your success story. God Bless everyone!!.🙏🏽
❤️❤️❤️
Excellent
Love and hugs to you both, These Videos helped me so so much ❣️💗 greetings from Germany
Nervous system got hijacked. Love the description
Thank you Kim for sharing your story.
I'm so happy you have recovered and so much better.
I can relate alot to what you talked about .
Thanks, Jill- so glad it helped!
Thank you for that interview, what a wonderful lady l feel a relief and hope by listening to her story . My dizziness keeps coming and going but l m hopeful.
She's so awesome! Ups and downs/coming and going is normal... the trend will be upward.
Malheureusement je suis français en ne comprends pas l'anglais j'aimerai être aidé s'il-vous-plaît pour c'est symptômes
I have alot of these symptoms inc marshmallow floor wobbly vision unsteady extreme lathargy sickness its increasingly hard to cope with i just wish i knew how she repaired
She started with the free course so that's what I would do if I were you. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Same here 😞
So insightful. I figured that was what happened when I go to the doctor or therapist. The spinning. Have had to use the breathing and 54321 to bring it down at the doctor and therapist.
Anybody heard of pulse making whole body slightly move. My phone moves to my pulse rhythm when I'm holding it and my head slightly wobbles on my heart beat. All started with PPPD
Hi Doctor . I was a subscriber to your steady coach app last year . I was diagnosed with uvh last October and I completely recovered during February of this year . However my symptoms have started coming back again for the past few days . What may be the cause of it ? Does the brain decompensate like this ? I have started physical therapy again as I have those handy with me . Any other recommendations? Also is the steady coach app still active ?
This video will help! th-cam.com/video/v6f-gFy2VxA/w-d-xo.html
And yes, we still have our community if you decide you need it, and it is now only for coaching ( we don't have a general membership). You can see options on my website thesteadycoach.com
Dr Yo, firstly I want to thank you for what you’re doing. It’s so helpful to so many of us! My question is, I’m just over 2 years into having symptoms, and sometimes (certainly not always) they seem to be delayed up to 4 days after a triggering event (movement, wearing heeled shoes or excessive screen time for example), is this common? And does it still point to neural circuit dizziness? Thank you so much!
Totally! Delayed reactions like that are pretty great evidence that it HAS to be the nervous system.
@@TheSteadyCoach wow!! I really appreciate your reply, thank you! It’s amazing how your symptoms can seem *so* very strange and then you find a community like this who can relate on every level. It’s so comforting!
What can i do right here and now ... i love that comment
When the physiotherapist do manoeuvers to detect if cristals in ears and if there is nystatmus as response with vertigo a a reaction , Does it mean for sure presence of cristals or something else ?
It doesn't necessarily mean there are crystals, but there are pretty clear signs that the physio can see that will help him or her know if there are crystals or not.
Dr. Yo,
Any advice on dealing with symptoms on days barometric changes are significant? After PPPD I’m so sensitive to fluctuations and most days can be pretty symptom free now, but any time the pressure drops (happens a lot here in CA in the summer) I’m basically down for the count. How can I get my body to stop overreacting to this normal process? Will that part ever go away?
After a visit to chiro , the vertigo first started
Dr Yo!! Greetings from Scotland! I would like to ask a particular question if you don't mind. How may ( If any ) of your patients have Multiple Sclerosis. I have been diagnosed with MS for the past 3 years, however my Dizziness has only been through the last 6 ,months, I guess I'm trying to ascertain whether this can be PPPD / or indeed, MS, obviously you cannot diagnose, but opinion for patients with MS would be appreciated. , Colin.
Hi Colin! All symptoms are biopsychosocial, meaning they're influenced by your nervous system/emotional well being even when there is a physical cause. There is pretty good indication that even MS flares are biopsychosocial. Now, dizziness CAN be related to physical lesions in MS, but we have folks here with neurological diseases like Parkinson's who've found these methods brought them a lot of relief. The expectations might be a bit different if there IS a physical cause of a symptom but it's rarely black and white- meaning, even if there is a physical cause, in many situations symptoms can be improved by taking care of stress/well being.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much for replying, I am, and planning, on watching a lot more of your videos. I have committed some time to date, these are by far the best out there on YT. It’s certainly going to be a long journey. Interestingly enough, I’ve been suffering serious sinus issues for the last 18 months, the NHS over here is not a great organisation so my waiting times are huge. I imagine that has influenced things for myself. May even the cause of this given the amount of stress to date. As I say, thank you so much.
So reading between the lines is this video telling us ahe had an anxiety problem? Maby i miss understand? Please elaborate if you can thank you
I believe the anxiety came about because of the symptoms.. like many of us experience
Did you work out what her resolve / turning point was?
Jackie explained it perfectly. Anxiety isn't the cause, it comes along with it. The brain being in a state of threat doesn't necessarily mean the person had any mental health symptoms, but anxiety is very common with dizziness.
@@TheSteadyCoach well
I learned from the best!! 😊😂
What was your turning point may i ask? I am very interested in your amazing success story you have amazing strength! Please i would love to know... at what point did you feel fixed? How long did it last? Did it just go? With visual exercises? In the end or but by bit? I really appreciate your video god bless you 🙏
Hi around the 1:02:45 mark in the transcript you mention about a two step by step process. I’m trying look in the comments as you said you would include?
Help me find it please
Thanks
Isabela
You're right, they were missing! Added to the video description!
Thankyou so much
Can i please ask, not soni can judge, was it emotional traumas that were the root of your wobbling issues? I am not trying to delve into your personal life just curious as i have all the symptoms you had
Was it trauma? Or purely a physical problem? I am only asking purely as my life is on a hard shoulder from the same symptoms
God bless you 🙏
I’m Afraid and That’s OK. I think I’ll get a tattoo!
I could use one too!
can i contact u kim? i live in southern california (pasadena) and i want the name of your neuro!!! i have square wave jerks too btw. im in the 80th %ile but lingering for months now,. i used to live on the central coast too! used to work at news channel 3! i miss lazy acres on the mesa and the boathouse!
If you email us at info@thesteadycoach.com, we can forward your message to Kim
What’s the book?

Can I know her actual problem ?
We may never know what the precipitating (original) vestibular issue was, possibly BPPV or neuritis, but she ended up wth chronic symptoms that were neural circuit (generated by nervous system errors). If you need to know more about that, watch this video: th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
Wow yes yes yes the neck!!!!!!!
I am pain-free and water also and I have an entirely different issue. Maybe it’s the buoyancy?
I think it's often because the brain predicts things differently in different environments.
