123. VGF & the Vestibular Virtual Summit Changed Her Life: Juli’s Story

“I woke up one day and my whole world was spinning—and it hasn’t stopped since.” I’d love to introduce you to Juli, a Vestibular Group Fit member! She’s here to tell you her story—including:How she waited over 3 years to be seen by a neurologist.What she got out of last year’s Vestibular Virtual Summit.And how she flew to Vegas for a trip this year! I know it can be so supportive to hear other peoples’ success stories of being able to successfully live—and thrive—with a vestibular disorder. These are some of my favorite conversations to have! In this episode, we’ll dig into: Juli’s backstory & her experience with chronic dizziness Her very recent vestibular disorder diagnosis How Juli knew something was wrong What type of treatment Juli has had since her diagnosis What Juli wants others to know about the VNG balance test What led Juli to Dr Madison & VGF The importance of identifying your triggers How VGF has positively impacted Juli’s life What Juli does regularly to build a bigger bucket How Juli started to ask for help & build a support system “I’m not alone, there’s a community in Vestibular Group Fit.” You’re likely already doing some things right, just like Juli with her toolkit (before she knew they were a real thing). In VGF, you get to build on that!  In group, you discover new tools to add to that toolkit, better advice for your unique situation, and you’re able to rebuild that self-trust that’s been eroded by time and healthcare providers telling you “nothing is wrong” when clearly—there is. Hope to see you in there!
