Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems are more than just inner ear issues - so why does our medical system keep getting it wrong?

In this eye-opening episode, vestibular specialist Dr. Jeffrey Guild exposes the fundamental misconception behind how dizziness and vertigo are evaluated, and why so many people are misdiagnosed, over-medicated, or sent down the wrong referral path.

📉 The Problem:�Most doctors still treat the vestibular system as just an “inner ear issue,” when it’s actually a complex neurological network - connected to your eyes, brainstem, cerebellum, and even cognition.�This misunderstanding leads to missed diagnoses, ineffective medications, unnecessary surgeries, and long-term suffering for patients.

✅ In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why the vestibular system is neurological, not just ENT-related
• The real cause of positional vertigo and how it’s commonly mismanaged
• How vestibular disorders affect cognition, memory, and even dementia risk
• When ENT, neurology, or vestibular rehab should be part of your care
• Why movement - not medication - is usually the solution
• How to identify a true vestibular rehab specialist (and why one visit may not be enough)

🧠 Whether you're suffering from balance issues, unexplained dizziness, or you're a provider trying to understand vestibular conditions more deeply - this is the video the medical algorithm won’t show you.

đź§­ Quick Tips from the Episode:
1. Don’t assume it’s “just the inner ear”
2. Vestibular rehab (not ENT) is often the right first step
3. Be cautious about medications that suppress symptoms without solving the root problem
4. Movement is medicine—especially head and eye movement
5. One vestibular provider not helping? Seek another. Training varies widely.
