Send us Fan MailDay in the Clinical Life: Vestibular and Visual Training in ActionIn this episode of The Neurocollective Podcast, we take listeners behind the scenes for a “day in the clinical life” as May Bagnell, IHP shares her personal experience with vestibular and visual system testing and training. The conversation explores how this technology works, what the evaluation measures, and why strengthening the vestibular system can have a profound impact on energy, clarity, balance, and overall brain function.What You’ll LearnWhat the vestibular system does and why it matters beyond balanceHow low vestibular function can show up as fatigue, fogginess, dizziness, and even emotional symptomsWhat the testing and training process looks like in the clinicHow a mathematically guided protocol is used to target imbalancesWhy the chair-based vestibular training can create noticeable shifts in just one sessionHow brainstem regulation connects vestibular function, heart rate, blood pressure, and dysautonomiaWhy this technology is useful for understanding deeper brain and eye-brain relationshipsEpisode HighlightsA real-time “before and after” experience from MayDiscussion of how vestibular weakness can drain energy and affect cognitionAn inside look at the rotational multi-axis chair and its advanced softwareThe role of goggles and eye tracking in measuring brain responsesWhy the team emphasizes precision, comfort, and individualized careA practical reminder that practitioners also need support and recalibrationKey TakeawaysThe vestibular system is tightly connected to how the brain processes movement, balance, energy, and orientation.Symptoms like fatigue, heavy eyes, brain fog, dizziness, and palpitations may point to deeper system imbalance.Small, targeted interventions can create significant short-term improvements.Functional neurology approaches work best when they are individualized and data-driven.Practitioners and clients alike benefit from ongoing evaluation and adjustment.Practical ReflectionIf you’ve ever noticed days where your energy, clarity, or balance feels dramatically worse without an obvious reason, this episode offers a helpful framework for becoming more curious about what your body may be signaling.Closing MessageThis episode reminds us that healing is often about finding the right imbalance, supporting the right system, and taking the next step with precision and care.Remember: You can heal.
