20: Fibromyalgia, Headaches & Dizziness: What’s the Connection?

Hello Friends! Today we're exploring the often-overlooked connection between fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, and vestibular challenges like dizziness and balance issues. Research shows these symptoms aren't "all in your head"—they're measurable, neurologically linked, and far more common than most people realize. In this episode, we cover what the science says about why these symptoms occur together, how they're connected to nervous system dysregulation, and practical daily and weekly routines that can help reduce symptom intensity and create more stability.

YOUR HOMEWORK:

Start your morning with a 3-5 minute nervous system reset before diving into your day. Try slow breathing, gentle stretching, or simply sitting in natural light. This small practice signals to your brain that you are safe and can help set a calmer baseline for the rest of the day.
