About this episode
Roxie Robinson explores the science and humor behind dizziness and our balance system.
Ever stood up too fast and felt your soul briefly leave your body? Yeah… same. In this episode, Roxie Robinson unpacks the science (and comedy) of dizziness — from your inner ear’s fluid GPS to your brain’s desperate attempts to figure out which way is up. With her signature warmth and wit, Roxie breaks down how our balance system works, why motion sickness hits some of us harder than others, and what your body’s really doing during those “uh, am I falling?” moments. Along the way, she shares stories, gentle science, and the kind of laughter that makes even vertigo feel a little poetic. So grab some water, sit down (seriously), and join Roxie as she reminds you that losing balance isn’t failure — it’s just feedback. Stay curious.
