In this video, we talk about the basics of neural circuit dizziness- that is, medically unexplained chronic dizziness symptoms. You may already have a symptom-based diagnosis that you were given because nothing medical explains your symptoms (PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine) or you may have had abnormal test results that don't explain why your symptoms are chronic (vestibular neuritis, unilateral weakness and others). Watch to find out WHY you have chronic symptoms, why full recovery is possible, and how to get started.

To learn more, please consider signing up for my course, Healing Chronic Dizziness. It is 100% FREE and can be easily translated to many other languages. The course is FREE because when I started my YouTube channel, I found that many people who need help are not able to access or afford care. I believe it is very important for anyone suffering from chronic dizziness to be able to access the tools needed to heal without needing to pay a lot of money. In the course, I give you a structured overview of my entire treatment approach. Over 6000 people have taken the course since January 2022 and many people have fully recovered simply by doing the course. Others have used the course as added help while working with a local therapist.

Interview with Daniel Lyman in which we talk a lot about emotions!    • Therapy, feeling emotions & recovery ...  

00:00 Intro
01:00 Common symptom-based diagnoses for chronic dizziness: PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine
02:20 Your symptoms are real, but they are not being caused by disease or tissue damage
03:47 Danger mode causes changes in body function to real or perceived threats
05:20 The brain is a prediction machine and sometimes makes mistakes that result in symptoms
07:20 Chronic dizziness symptoms happens when the brain is making a mistake
08:36 This is good news because this means full recovery is possible
09:11 First component of recovery: education to understand the cause of your symptoms
10:17 Second component of recovery: handling external and internal stress differently
10:54 Third component of recovery: processing the emotions that are causing threat mode
12:03 Personality traits that can increase "threat mode" from emotions

  • Completely bedridden after vestibular neuritis and a pppd diagnosis. 6 weeks of working with a specialist pt and now I can fully take care of myself again, doing the groceries, cooking, cycling for an hour and walking for 45 minutes. Yesterday I had dinner with friends for 2 hours. Still very much experiencing the symptoms but taking it a week at a time and staying hopeful. Everybody: you got this. Start small and work from there. Believe in your recovery and believe in yourself. P.s I also meditate 2 times a day and follow dr. Yo’s somatic tracking affirmations during activity and do her breathing exercises 2 times a day.
  • Did anybody else start crying when she said “your symptoms are real”? Omg that validation after so much medical gaslighting 😢
  • @kaustavhalder
    Dealing with this for 2+ years now. Did all tests and nothing came out. Your video explains my symptoms so nicely. Now I am much better. I would say am at 50% now and its subsiding but the recovery is no linear. One thing that is working for me is not sitting and hoping that this will go away. I sort of do the normal things and try and make my self feel i am fine. I don’t push myself too much, cause the self needs some love and kindness also. Anxiety and health anxiety after my initial panic attacks around 5-6 years ago may have led to this. But the cause could be way earlier as panic attacks come for a reason which is usually accumulated stuff over the previous years. This channel has been the only one that has sort of understood and been able to explain my symptoms. Difficult to explain to other people as what they can’t see they can’t believe. And this vertigo thing is difficult for people to believe and difficult to explain.
  • @lisahutchinson8558
    I'm so thankful to have found you!! Going on 9 months with horrible symptoms, a zillion tests, thousands spent, and zero help. Thank you for all you are doing to help us all.
  • I am crying. This is literally an answer to prayer. For the first time in several years I actually feel hopeful. You are describing exactly what my chiropractor (another answer to prayer) has been telling me. I plan to start your course immediately. Even just reading the comments on various videos on your channel give me hope. Thank you ❤
  • @aditijain3607
    Thank you so much for this video. I have been diagnosed with suspected Meniere’s and VM as I’ve had two episodes of hearing loss in both ears with tinnitus, ear pressure and vertigo. However both times I recovered 100% of my hearing, tinnitus and pressure issues with steroids. BUT the dizziness would just not go away. Each day feels like I’m rocking on a boat and the doctors have no idea what to make of it when ears are in perfect condition. Got all sort of tests done and everything is absolutely normal. Now they aren’t even sure if I have Meniere’s or not. Your channel has given me hope that this can be treated. Have enrolled in your free course and will be checking out all the content on your channel 🙏
  • @brookewelsh5912
    Finding this video today, I truly believe god sent this to me. I have been dealing with this for about 9 months and have been the most depressed I’ve ever been in my entire life. I’ve been to doctor after doctor and one ENT who sent me for a hearing test (which I passed) and an MRI which was normal and still she said she “believes” I have Ménière’s Disease and sent me on my merry way. It broke me into a million pieces thinking I have this disease without any hard evidence and not even the same symptoms. I will be obsessively following your channel from now on. Thank you. You’ve given me hope for the first time since hearing this. Thank you so much 😭🥹
  • This is 100% accurate! I have been diagnosed with both MdDS and Vestibular Migraine (over 2 years ago but symptoms starts 7 years ago). None of the medications have worked for me and I have always known that I have needed to heal my anxiety, trauma, etc. (which is NOT EASY, especially when it is ongoing ie. Family). Your content has given me hope and is changing my life! Thank you for all you do and share.
  • Dear Dr Yonit, God sent you I swear, I’m so grateful, you’re an angel. I suffer from imbalance, sense of floating, and I can’t stand/sit still. The hardest thing for me is to NOT feel threat when I have to sit in a church or in every place where I shouldn’t move or go out. Every time I tried, it was a nightmare. It’s getting worse, no matter how brave I was to go into that “dangerous” situation. I wonder how I can escape from this, but I hope I’m going to find solution with you and God. Thanks again!❤
  • This is the most helpful and real information out there on this.
  • @Safely2024
    My God.....your video is coming at the right timing. I cannot thank you enough. I am suffering from dizzy spells, swaying and balance issues. No tests can reveal anything. I am feeling frustrated and annoyed at this moment. Thank you millions. Will get enrolled in your free course. You are doing a great job. Lots of blessings from us sufferers. 🙏
  • Everyone I know tells me the symptoms are in my head. To ignore it, I have nothing because the doctors found nothing and I am having a horrible time not only with what I am dealing with but also loosing my job due to this and all kind of problems. I am glad I saw this video and gave me hope.
  • Knowledge is freedom. I found your channel after a research on the web because my 70 year old mother has been suffering from constant dizziness after a vestibular neuritis and even though we don't have a formal diagnosis for PPPD, I'm 100% sure that's what she has. I've done a lot of reading and this fits perfectly. Last year doctors made her an enormous amount of tests (neurological, visual and cardiological) so we are sure there is no other problem causing this. We live in Argentina and there are a few specialists in otoneurology here but they are not familiar with this diagnosis and method, so the only treatment is Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, but it has a ceiling. It's a HUGE relief having found your channel, because there is almost NOTHING in Spanish about this disabling condition. Today I showed her some of your videos and her mood and energy drastically changed. It's a small light for us and the people around us, who don't really understand completely what's happening. It's a very difficult thing to explain for those who don't live it constantly. Hope and awareness are the key to a recovery. I just signed her up for the free course, with a lot of illusion. We'll not give up and I'll never leave her alone on this journey. Thank you, doctor! I will update this comment with news while she is doing the course. 🤩🌟🙌💪 Thanks for the support and we are not alone!!!
  • @susanp2349
    You are amazing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
  • Hi Dr. Tonite; Just watched this video, and you made a 59 year old man cry in a good way. At the end of your video you said and I quote “ You can fully recover”. Thats the first time in a very long time that I’ve heard anyone say there is a possibility I may get through this nightmare. This video hit the nail on the head with my symptoms and my personality. I was driving today and experienced what felt like my eyes dancing in my head. Felt like my vision was blurring out like a wave. Time after time. Very not good. Haven’t had that for a long time. Got so bad that I had to let my wife drive. I am suffering from some cold symptoms that’s effecting my ears as well. Just wanted to let you know I will be signing up for your course. I hope I hope this helps me, my life depends on it. I want to thank you again for your videos. Your videos at the very least give us a bit of hope, when many of us had no hope. Dirt Farmer Marc
  • I am so happy to have found you, thank you so much for your work, this video makes me feel empowered to heal myself.
  • @user-bz6ui4fj8k
    Thank you so much. Been dealing with this for over a year, and this is a real breakthrough for me.
  • @user-lv1id3sf6g
    Thank you so much. Your info has certainly been extremely helpful
  • This video is a great synopsis of the how, why and what of chronic dizziness. I encourage anyone who sees this and hasn’t yet taken your free course to do so. It’s well done and well worth the time.
