| 3/28/26 | ![]() Why You Still Feel Dizzy (Even After “Normal” Tests) | The Real Causes of Chronic Dizziness | Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms people struggle with… and one of the most misunderstood. If you’ve been told everything looks “normal,” yet you still feel off, this episode explains why. Instead of chasing a single cause, we break down a more accurate framework — looking at how dizziness can come from metabolic issues, inflammation, the immune system, vascular changes, the neck, and ultimately how the brain processes it all. You’ll learn: Why “normal labs” don’t alway... | 29m 55s | ||||||
| 2/28/26 | ![]() Migraines & Headaches Explained: Why Blocking the Pain Isn’t the Same as Solving the Problem | Are your migraines or headaches still running your life—despite normal scans, multiple medications, and endless “try this” advice? In this research-backed Q&A, Dr. Spencer Zimmerman breaks down why migraines and chronic headaches are far more complex than most people are told. Instead of focusing on labels, he walks through the four core arenas that must be evaluated to truly reduce frequency and intensity: Immune system & inflammation (CGRP, histamine, gut health, autoimmune links)Va... | 55m 01s | ||||||
| 1/31/26 | ![]() POTS and Concussion: The Overlooked Neurological Link Behind Chronic Dizziness and Fatigue | Still dizzy, foggy, exhausted—or dealing with racing heart symptoms—despite “normal” tests? In this Q&A episode, Dr. Zimmerman explains why concussions and POTS are often misunderstood, why MRI/CT scans are usually normal in concussion, and what most evaluations miss (objective balance + eye-movement testing). He also breaks down POTS as a nervous system/autonomic issue, why patients get bounced between cardiology and neurology, and how immune/metabolic factors like histamine patter... | 1h 01m 13s | ||||||
| 12/27/25 | ![]() Why Some Concussions Don’t Heal: A Patient–Provider Conversation on Real Recovery | A concussion story most people never hear. Dr. Zimmerman and his wife, Sara, share the raw, real experience of navigating yet another concussion—from subtle early symptoms to the emotional toll it takes on daily life. When symptoms don’t make sense—but your body knows something is wrong. Fatigue, mood swings, dizziness, nausea, memory lapses, and loss of motivation all appeared quickly, even after what seemed like a minor hit. Why standard care often leaves people stuck. Learn how normal scan... | 40m 55s | ||||||
| 12/21/25 | ![]() Plasmalogens: The Missing Link in Brain Health, Fatigue, and Neurodegeneration? | What if a little-known brain fat could play a major role in fatigue, brain fog, and neurodegeneration? Dr. Zimmerman introduces plasmalogens and why they’ve become a key focus in complex neurological cases.Plasmalogens quietly protect brain, nerve, and heart cells—until levels drop. Learn how aging, inflammation, and chronic conditions may accelerate their loss and what that means for symptoms and disease progression.Emerging research links low plasmalogens to conditions like Parkinson’s, Alz... | 15m 24s | ||||||
| 12/5/25 | ![]() The 5 POTS Myths Keeping You Sick (And What No One’s Telling You) | Myth #1: “It’s just anxiety.” Dr. Z breaks down why this misunderstanding leads to misdiagnosis, gaslighting, and years of unnecessary suffering. Why drinking more water and pounding salt isn’t a real solution—and what’s actually driving your dizziness, fatigue, and tachycardia. The shocking truth: Most POTS symptoms are neurological, not cardiovascular—and traditional testing completely misses it. Why medications help some symptoms but never fix the root problem (and why you crash as soon as... | 21m 58s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 | ![]() Why Traditional POTS Treatment Fails and What Else to Consider | If you’re dizzy, exhausted, lightheaded, and constantly brushed off by traditional medicine, this episode will feel like someone is finally connecting the dots. What you’ll learn: Why “normal” labs don’t mean anything is actually normal for POTS patients—and why most people are told everything looks fine when they clearly don’t feel fine.The big flaw in the traditional POTS approach: it manages symptoms but ignores the nervous system dysfunction driving them.**The hidden neurological issues n... | 18m 27s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 | ![]() AMA: From Parkinson's to Concussions to Hormones and Beyond | In this episode I take questions from the audience and review the research on a variety of topics. The concussion we all missed: Using Mike Evans’ hit as a case study, Dr. Z shows why a “minor” concussion can be far more life-altering than a broken collarbone—and how symptoms get rationalized away. Depression redefined: New findings on excitatory neurons and microglia link mood and inflammation—explaining why exercise, vitamin D, gut health, and targeted nutrition help some people more than m... | 39m 05s | ||||||
| 10/10/25 | ![]() Preventing Chemo Brain: How To Approach Breast Cancer Diagnosis | Chemo brain, demystified: How mitochondrial stress and systemic inflammation drive brain fog, memory lapses, and slowed thinking—and what helps.
