PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?”
To get to that answer, we’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis.
It’s both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what’s going on and what to do about it next.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
What persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is
What symptoms are mistakenly associated with PPPD
What generally makes PPPD better or worse
Places and events that are more challenging with PPPD
What usually triggers PPPD
How PPPD is diagnosed
Personality types that are more likely to have PPPD
Why dizziness and anxiety are so closely linked
If there is a cure for PPPD
What the Wheel of Management is
The best treatment options for PPPD
You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you.
A great place to start is VGF! Support, education, and community—all of that plus more resources than you can imagine are waiting for you in Vestibular Group Fit.

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.
