119. You "Can Fully Recover" - Neurologist Dr. Zagar on Chronic Dizziness, PPPD & Vestibular Migraine

If you are struggling with chronic dizziness, PPPD, vestibular migraine, FND, or unexplained neurological symptoms, this interview with Yale neurologist Dr. Dario Zagar reveals how neuroplastic methods and symptom reprocessing can help you recover.

In this deep-dive conversation, Dr. Yonit Arthur (audiologist and coach) speaks with Dr. Dario Zagar, MD about why over 50% of chronic neurological symptoms have a neuroplastic component. Learn how conditions like persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), chronic pain, fibromyalgia, brain fog, visual disturbances, and migraines get trapped in the nervous system—and how you can break the loop.

Dr. Zagar breaks down the mechanics of sensory misprocessing, how anticipatory anxiety fuels chronic symptoms, and why recovery is entirely possible even if you've been suffering for years.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why over 50% of chronic neurological cases have a neuroplastic component

• How PPPD, vestibular migraine, and functional neurological disorder (FND) get wired into the brain

• Understanding migraine as both genetic and programmable

• How "what if" thinking, fear, and visual dependence keep your nervous system in threat mode

• Inspiring case study: Full recovery after 6+ years of chronic symptoms and multiple failed interventions

• Why duration myths are false and progress in recovery is often non-linear

• The 4 essential keys to nervous system healing and symptom reprocessing
