126. Expert Neurologist: "Full Recovery is Possible" From PPPD, Vestibular Migraine & MdDS

If you are struggling with chronic dizziness, PPPD (3PD), vestibular migraine, Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS), or unexplained vertigo, this video reveals why these symptoms are neuroplastic and reversible, and you can fully recover. In this interview, consultant NHS neurologist and vestibular researcher Dr. Diego Kaski joins Dr. Yonit Arthur on The Steady Coach to explain why diagnostic labels often fail to explain the real underlying mechanism behind persistent dizziness—and how understanding brain signal processing can unlock long-term healing. Instead of permanent "hardware" damage, Dr. Kaski highlights a shared, network-based neuroplastic mechanism involving abnormal signal processing and predictive coding. He breaks down research from functional imaging and EEG connectivity, addresses why clinicians often push back on neuroplastic approaches, and shares a practical framework for recovery focused on education, beliefs, rapport, and acceptance. Key Topics Covered: • Why diagnostic labels like PPPD, vestibular migraine, and MdDS fall short • The shared neuroplastic and network-based mechanism driving chronic dizziness • Predictive coding made simple: how the brain maintains sensory symptoms • What functional imaging and EEG connectivity reveal about neural circuits • Overcoming barriers to healing: traits, stress without blame, and environment • Why recovery is non-linear and how realistic hope transforms clinical outcomes Timestamps:00:00 (youtube.com/watch?v=_H2RH3KdOac) Intro03:21 Why Labels Fall Short06:57 Common Neuroplastic Mechanism10:23 Research Evidence Explained14:36 Why Clinicians Push Back17:54 Patient Conversation Blueprint20:46 Predictive Coding Made Simple23:44 Prognosis Hope And Acceptance28:22 What Hope Changes Clinically32:54 Success Story Turning Point35:00 Barriers Traits And Environment42:58 Stress Without Blame48:24 Future Biomarkers And Treatment50:59 Final Words And Wrap Up Resources & Links:
