In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. David Sandlin, a vestibular and oculomotor neurologist at Emory Brain Health Center, to discuss how eye movements can provide critical clues to progressive neurologic diseases.From Parkinson's disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) to Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), cerebellar disorders, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Dr. Sandlin explains how a detailed bedside eye movement examination can detect neurologic disease long before imaging does. He shares the clinical reasoning behind evaluating nystagmus, saccades, smooth pursuit, VOR testing, and other vestibular examination findings that help differentiate central from peripheral causes of dizziness.This episode also discusses the importance of making timely referrals and understanding where vestibular rehabilitation fits into the care of progressive neurologic disorders.Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: [email protected]Partnered with:→ Our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first payment→ Avulux glasses, use code DIZZYRESET for $25 off→ Just Ingredients, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 5% offConnect with Us:→ Book a free call with us→ Get free resources straight to your inbox→ Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™→ Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube → Follow us on Instagram→ Follow us on TikTok→ Follow us on Facebook→ Disclaimer→ Enjoying the podcast?

In this episode of Talk Dizzy to Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT are joined by Dr. Ben Shaw, a London-based consultant audiovestibular physician specializing in dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, tinnitus, and hearing loss.Dr. Shaw explains how he evaluates patients with vague, recurrent, or chronic dizziness and why understanding the timing, triggers, and associated symptoms is essential for reaching the correct diagnosis.The conversation discusses various vestibular conditions, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular migraine, Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (3PD/PPPD), and Cerebellar Ataxia, Neuropathy, and Vestibular Areflexia Syndrome (CANVAS).The episode also includes an in-depth discussion of tinnitus. Dr. Shaw explains why tinnitus is a symptom rather than a diagnosis and presents a holistic approach to tinnitus management.Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: [email protected]Partnered with:→ Our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first payment→ Avulux glasses, use code DIZZYRESET for $25 off→ Just Ingredients, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 5% offConnect with Us:→ Book a free call with us→ Get free resources straight to your inbox→ Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™→ Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube → Follow us on Instagram→ Follow us on TikTok→ Follow us on Facebook→ Disclaimer→ Enjoying the podcast?

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT are joined by Dr. Katherine Deines, PT, NCS and Dr. Jaimy Wahab, PT, NCS, also known as the Neuro Dizzy Duo, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked parts of the vestibular system: the otolith organs.While many people associate vertigo and dizziness with the semicircular canals and spinning sensations, this episode explores how the utricle and saccule help us sense gravity, acceleration, head position, vertical orientation, and linear movement. The conversation highlights why otolith dysfunction may contribute to symptoms such as rocking, swaying, bobbing, feeling pulled or pushed, floating, walking on marshmallows, disorientation, and feeling “off.”The guests also explain how otolith dysfunction may show up in conditions such as BPPV, vestibular migraine, PPPD/3PD, Mal de Débarquement Syndrome, concussion, dysautonomia, POTS, Parkinson’s disease, and other complex vestibular presentations.This episode is especially helpful for vestibular clinicians, physical therapists, audiologists, patients with chronic dizziness, and anyone trying to better understand why dizziness is not always “spinning.”Episode Resources:Where to find The Dizzy Duo on Instagram: @neuro_dizzy_duoEmail address: [email protected], publications, or resources:Their Positive Spin on Dizziness advanced vestibular courses cover many lesser discussed topics:otolith dysfunction, the difference between vestibular dysfunction and hypersensitivity, visual motion hypersensitivity, Vestibular Migraine, Mal de Debarquement Syndrome, Meniere’s diseaseRecommended products or links: https://www.reactiveeducation.com/storeHosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: [email protected]Partnered with:→ Our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first payment→ Avulux glasses, use code DIZZYRESET for $25 off→ Just Ingredients, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 5% offConnect with Us:→ Book a free call with us→ Get free resources straight to your inbox→ Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™→ Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube → Follow us on Instagram→ Follow us on TikTok→ Follow us on Facebook→ Disclaimer→ Enjoying the podcast?

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT sit down with neurologist Dr. Kristen Steenerson to unpack Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, also known as 3PD or PPPD.If you feel dizzy, floaty, rocking, disoriented, or visually overwhelmed most days — especially in places like grocery stores, airports, busy restaurants, or while scrolling screens — this episode explains what may be happening in the brain and nervous system.Dr. Steenerson breaks down the diagnostic criteria for 3PD, why symptoms can continue even after the original vestibular problem improves, how 3PD overlaps with vestibular migraine, and why treatment often requires a combination of education, vestibular therapy, medication, cognitive strategies, lifestyle support, and gradual exposure.This conversation also addresses why 3PD is sometimes misunderstood, how hypervigilance plays a role, and why there is real hope for recovery and improved quality of life.

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT welcome back Dr. Shin Beh for a deeper conversation on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine, Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), and Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS).These conditions can overlap, feel confusing, and leave patients feeling stuck in their recovery. Dr. Beh breaks down how he differentiates these diagnoses clinically, why vestibular migraine can precipitate PPPD symptoms, and how treatment plans need a whole-person approach. Treatment plans may combine lifestyle optimization strategies, vestibular rehabilitation, medication or supplements, neuromodulation, stress management, and more... and should absolutely be individualized. Whether you're living with chronic dizziness or treating patients with vestibular disorders, this episode offers a practical, compassionate look at why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.Episode Resources: www.vestibularmd.comDr. Beh's Books: www.vestibularmd.com/about-dr-beh/booksHosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: [email protected]Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™.
