Vertigo: The Symptom, Not The Disease

While vertigo can seem like a condition in itself, it is actually a symptom of a larger issue. While there are a number of reasons you could be experiencing vertigo, the most common reasons include:

Adrenal Dysfunction:
Caused by sympathetic dominance in your nervous system, adrenal dysfunction can lead to episodes of vertigo as they are not functioning properly. A common sign of adrenal fatigue is feeling lightheaded after bending over.

Positional Vertigo:
Triggered by specific movements or positions, vertigo symptoms are caused by disrupted calcium crystals in your ears. These crystals help keep you balanced (even when your head is off-center), so if they are blocked, vertigo symptoms occur. 

Meniere’s Disease:
Inner ear pressure imbalances can cause both hearing loss and bouts of vertigo.

Neuritis:
Inflammation of a nerve in the ear mimics vertigo symptoms.

Keeping Vertigo Symptoms at Bay: 

The good news is, if you’re sick of vertigo symptoms dictating your daily life, there’s a few options available to find relief:

• Prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night (including taking mid-day naps if you have to!).
• Strength comes from rest – adopt a mentality of moderation rather than pushing through fatigue “just because you can.”
• Limit toxin exposure by eating organic and reducing exposure to chemicals as much as possible to support your liver. 
• Cut back on sugars and carbohydrates to reduce congestion and inflammation.

Supplements:
