Julia - Part 1 of 2 - Living with Meniere's Disease - Certified Holistic Nutritionist

Welcome! In this week's episode I am talking with someone who shares her vestibular journey that started when she was just 18 years old, Julia Savoia. This is Part 1 of a two-part special of a beautiful conversation. Before we get started let me share a little about Julia. She moved to the U.S. after graduating college in Poland with her Bachelors Degree. Here she met her husband and decided to make the U.S. her, home.
Today, she is the mother of identical twin 4 year old girls. She was struggling with multiple chronic illnesses and noticed that nutrition was one of the most effective ways for her to manage and improve her overall health, which led her to becoming a certified holistic nutritionist through the AFPA, she hopes to improve the lives of vestibular warriors through dietary change and support.
In this conversation we touch on these and a few other topics:
~ Rotational vertigo, tinnitus, anxiety, panic attacks, drop attacks, ear pressure and fullness
~ Birth control, hormonal changes, becoming pregnant with the symptoms and mom guilt
~ Types of journaling, learning to love yourself
**TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING** From Minute 14.36 to 17.36. There will be a verbal warning BEFORE she shares about a drop attack and the graphic details surrounding it. PLEASE SKIP to THE SECOND BLUE SQUARE to move past this clip, if hearing this may be a trigger. Thank you.
