    144. How to Pick the Right Shoes for Balance Problems
    2026/06/16

    Today, we’re talking shoes. Specifically, the best shoes for you if you have chronic dizziness or balance problems. (If you caught my viral Hoka video back in April, you already know I have thoughts.)

    But I need you to know this… it was never really about Hoka. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on with your shoes when you have a vestibular disorder and why that matters more than any brand name ever will.

    I’m breaking down the anatomy of a shoe (from toe box to heel drop) so you can stop Googling “best shoe for dizziness” and just know what to look for. Because the best shoe is the one that works for your feet, your symptoms, and your life. Full stop.

    In this episode, we’ll dig into:

    • The big takeaway from my viral Hokas video
    • Why there’s no single “best shoe” for vestibular disorders
    • The key parts of shoe anatomy every vestibular warrior should know
    • How conditions like peripheral neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, or a toe fusion change what YOU need in a shoe
    • The best places to shop for shoes when you have a vestibular disorder
    • Why heel-to-toe walking matters for fall prevention

    Your shoes are touching the ground so YOU don’t have to think about it, so let’s make sure they’re actually working how they need to for you.

  • 143. Strength & Resistance Training for Vestibular Disorders

    143. Strength & Resistance Training for Vestibular Disorders
    2026/06/09
    This is my personal favorite topic, but probably your least favorite: strength training. Before you run away, hear me out! Because whether you’re bed-bound, housebound, or just convinced your body can’t handle it right now, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down exactly WHY resistance and strength training isn’t just helpful for vestibular disorders—it’s essential. You Have to Move Your Body to Manage Your Dizziness From the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle to blood sugar regulation to better sleep to reduced inflammation, strength training touches virtually every struggle vestibular warriors face. I’m not letting anyone off the hook, but I am meeting you exactly where you are. Starting with 3 minutes? That counts. Walking to the mailbox and back? That counts too. Because the goal here is progress, not perfection. And you know I have the science to back every single word of it! In this episode, we’ll dig into: Why strength training is non-negotiable for vestibular disorder managementHow exercise helps break the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle“In the moment” vs. “hangover” dizziness and how to adjust your approachWhy EDS, HSD, or MCAS makes building muscle even more criticalThe truth about the fear of getting “bulky”How to start exercising when you’re bedbound or couch-boundWhat physical activity guidelines actually say, and where most people fall shortHow functional movements like the deadlift directly support vestibular patientsHow Vestibular Group Fit makes strength and resistance training accessible Whether you start with 3 minutes or 30, the most important thing is that you start. Because your vestibular system, your mood, your balance, and your future self are all counting on it.

  • 142. Vision Therapy and Prisms for Chronic Dizziness?

    142. Vision Therapy and Prisms for Chronic Dizziness?
    2026/06/02

    Vision therapy and prism lenses are so misunderstood. For starters, vision therapy isn’t about how clearly you can see.

    It’s about how your eyes work together to send information to your brain and how your brain is actually using that information.

    And for a lot of people dealing with vestibular conditions or TBI, this is a game-changer that often gets overlooked. This is one of those topics that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in the vestibular space, and it’s time to change that!

    In this episode, we’ll dig into:

    • What vision therapy actually is and how it can help
    • How your eyes, brain, and vestibular system work together
    • The symptoms that could point to a vision therapy need
    • Why you might be struggling now even if you were fine before your vestibular condition
    • What to look for when finding a provider for vision therapy or prisms
    • The difference between vision therapy and prism lenses
    • A free screening tool to see if binocular vision dysfunction might be at play for you

    It can be tough to find the right treatments, but remember—if a treatment doesn’t work, you are not failing anything. It just wasn’t the right option for you.
