162. How to Prepare for Daylight Savings Time With a Vestibular Disorder
Grounded | The Vestibular PodcastShow Notes
If you hadn’t heard yet, Daylight Saving Time is coming up on November 1st. If you have a vestibular disorder, that one-hour shift can do a number on your routine, sleep, and symptoms.
I don’t want you or your vestibular system to be caught off guard, which is why I share this info twice a year.
In this episode, I’m walking through exactly how to prepare for the Fall time change in a way that makes sense for your body—with gradual shifts, routine modifications, and practical prep so the morning-of you’re not feeling like your whole world’s been thrown off.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
How “gaining” an hour can still negatively affect your health
Why consistency in wake and sleep time matters so much with a vestibular disorder
How to effectively shift your schedule gradually leading up to the time change
How prepping the night before can be supportive
Practical modifications for the week of the time change
How this approach can also work for the Spring time change and travel across time zones
Remember: start small, stay consistent, and your body will thank you.

One of the most common things I hear from people with vestibular disorders is how hard it feels to do things with family (especially kids).
In this episode, we’re going to cover some common questions about advocating for treatments at the doctor’s office, which can occur for a few different reasons.
Histamine and MCAS are everywhere on the internet right now, but there’s a huge piece missing from the conversation. Genetics.
If you have a vestibular disorder, there’s a good chance your thyroid is part of the story.
Histamine is quite possibly the most popular buzzword in healthcare right now and for good reason.
