It’s always in the quiet moments. I remember sitting in a silent therapy session, trying to focus on my breath, only to be distracted by these tiny specks floating across my vision. At first, I thought they were just spots on the wall—or maybe something wrong with my contact lenses. But the more I sat…
I’ll be honest—when I first heard the term Vertebral Artery Syndrome, I assumed it was one of those obscure, textbook-only conditions. But it turned out to hit closer to home. A friend of mine—an active, otherwise healthy 40-something—began experiencing intense dizziness whenever he turned his head too far. At first, he blamed it on poor…
If you’ve ever dealt with that woozy, off-balance feeling paired with an annoyingly stiff upper back, you’re not alone. I used to brush it off—“just slept wrong,” I’d say.

You might start off organized, but suddenly your heart races, your focus scatters,…
It feels like every time I scroll through my phone or turn on the news, there’s another crisis unfolding. Climate change, political unrest, economic instability—you name it. It’s exhausting. I’ve caught myself spiraling into “what-if” scenarios more often than I care to admit. If you’ve ever lost sleep over headlines or felt paralyzed by the…
Last week after my regular hot yoga class, I sat down with a cold towel over my face and noticed them again — those squiggly little floaters drifting across my vision like lazy jellyfish in a sunlit bay. At first, I thought I was just tired. But it kept happening, especially after hot yoga. I…
Ever found yourself lying awake, staring at the ceiling while your mind runs a marathon of what-ifs? Yeah, same. I used to think it was just a bad night’s sleep or too much caffeine, but the more I dug in, the clearer it became—this wasn’t just about being a night owl. It was anxiety. And…
