214: Vertigo Isn’t a Diagnosis: Vertigo, Dizziness & Mold with Dr. Madison Oak | Mold Month Series

What if vertigo isn’t actually the diagnosis?In the final episode of our Mold Awareness Month series, Corey is joined by Dr. Madison Oak, Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of The Vertigo Doctor, for a fascinating conversation about chronic dizziness, vestibular migraine, mold exposure, and what to do next.Dr. Madison breaks down why dizziness and vertigo are symptoms rather than diagnoses, the different things that can contribute to them, and what happens when the brain has trouble integrating information from the vestibular system, vision, and proprioception.They also get into:• Why busy environments can become overwhelming for people with chronic dizziness• The connection between chronic dizziness, anxiety, and the nervous system• Vestibular migraine, dysautonomia/POTS, BPPV, and other potential causes• What mold exposure may have to do with complex cases• Registry data showing the overlap between dizziness, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, and elevated home mold scores• Connecting environmental dust testing with mycotoxin testing to better understand the home + body picture• Why remediation and detoxification aren't always the end of the story• How vestibular rehabilitation can help people rebuild function and get back to everyday activities• Why some people continue to struggle even after receiving “normal” test resultsThroughout September, The Dust Test and Mosaic Diagnostics sponsored #moldfinders: RADIO as part of Mold Awareness Month, bringing more awareness, education, and practical information around mold and the bigger health picture.And there’s still time to enter our Mold Awareness Month giveaway! 🎉We’re giving away our Body + Home Mold Testing Bundle, featuring the MycoTOX Profile + The Dust Test.
