What you’ll learn:

• Common causes of vertigo, focusing on the one that impacts nearly 50% of people over 50

• What benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is, and what’s actually happening with your inner-ear crystals (using 3-D models to visualize how they move)

• Key risk factors you can actually control to prevent vertigo, including the surprising role vitamin D plays in keeping you steady

• The different types of BPPV, and why knowing which one you have is critical for proper treatment and longer-lasting results

• Short-term physical treatment is more effective than long-term medication — the maneuvers that stop the spinning

• The risks of self-treatment and “internet fixes,” and when to see an expert to safely address the root cause of your symptoms

• How undiagnosed BPPV is a hidden link to falls, even if you don’t feel “dizzy”
