🎙️ Dizziness, Vertigo, Migraines & Hashimoto’s: The Missing Link with Dr. Emily Kostelnik
Ever feel floaty, dizzy, lightheaded—or struggle with migraines that no one seems to take seriously? You're not alone, and it may not be “just stress” or “low blood sugar.” In this eye-opening episode of Hashimoto’s Nutrition Rx, Nataliia sits down with Dr. Emily Kostelnik—a clinical health psychologist known as “The Vestibular Psychologist”—to unpack the surprising connection between vestibular disorders and autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s.
From environmental toxins to nutrient deficiencies, nervous system overload to histamine intolerance, they explore what really drives these symptoms—and how to finally find relief.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why dizziness, vertigo, and migraines are often missed symptoms of Hashimoto’s
- How trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation fuel symptoms
- The role of histamine, inflammation, and food sensitivities in dizziness
- Simple ways to retrain your nervous system for calm and stability
- The truth about environmental toxins, detox, and realistic harm reduction
- Why nutrient deficiencies like low magnesium, B vitamins, and iron matter
- What tests and specialists are worth seeking out—and which ones to skip
- Dr. Kostelnik’s personal journey healing from vestibular disorders and Hashimoto’s
- How to stop fearing food and start reintroducing it the right way
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This:
This conversation is packed with “aha” moments, practical strategies, and powerful validation—especially if your symptoms have been dismissed or misdiagnosed. Whether you're newly diagnosed or deep into your healing journey, this episode offers empowering tools and mindset shifts you won’t hear from most doctors.
Try This After Listening:
- Try the “physiological sigh” breathing exercise three times a day to retrain your stress response
- Audit your beauty, cleaning, and food storage habits to gently reduce toxic load
- Get tested for nutrient levels like vitamin D, iron, and magnesium—and work with a provider to replenish them
