In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT sit down with neurologist Dr. Kristin Steenerson to unpack Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, also known as 3PD or PPPD.If you feel dizzy, floaty, rocking, disoriented, or visually overwhelmed most days — especially in places like grocery stores, airports, busy restaurants, or while scrolling screens — this episode explains what may be happening in the brain and nervous system.Dr. Steenerson breaks down the diagnostic criteria for 3PD, why symptoms can continue even after the original vestibular problem improves, how 3PD overlaps with vestibular migraine, and why treatment often requires a combination of education, vestibular therapy, medication, cognitive strategies, lifestyle support, and gradual exposure.This conversation also addresses why 3PD is sometimes misunderstood, how hypervigilance plays a role, and why there is real hope for recovery and improved quality of life.

This is my personal favorite topic, but probably your least favorite: strength training. Before you run away, hear me out! Because whether you’re bed-bound, housebound, or just convinced your body can’t handle it right now, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down exactly WHY resistance and strength training isn’t just helpful for vestibular disorders—it’s essential. You Have to Move Your Body to Manage Your Dizziness From the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle to blood sugar regulation to better sleep to reduced inflammation, strength training touches virtually every struggle vestibular warriors face. I’m not letting anyone off the hook, but I am meeting you exactly where you are. Starting with 3 minutes? That counts. Walking to the mailbox and back? That counts too. Because the goal here is progress, not perfection. And you know I have the science to back every single word of it! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why strength training is non-negotiable for vestibular disorder management How exercise helps break the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle “In the moment” vs. “hangover” dizziness and how to adjust your approach Why EDS, HSD, or MCAS makes building muscle even more critical The truth about the fear of getting “bulky” How to start exercising when you’re bedbound or couch-bound What physical activity guidelines actually say, and where most people fall short How functional movements like the deadlift directly support vestibular patients How Vestibular Group Fit makes strength and resistance training accessible Whether you start with 3 minutes or 30, the most important thing is that you start. Because your vestibular system, your mood, your balance, and your future self are all counting on it.

Vision therapy and prism lenses are so misunderstood. For starters, vision therapy isn’t about how clearly you can see. It’s about how your eyes work together to send information to your brain and how your brain is actually using that information. And for a lot of people dealing with vestibular conditions or TBI, this is a game-changer that often gets overlooked. This is one of those topics that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in the vestibular space, and it’s time to change that! In this episode, we'll dig into: What vision therapy actually is and how it can help How your eyes, brain, and vestibular system work together The symptoms that could point to a vision therapy need Why you might be struggling now even if you were fine before your vestibular condition What to look for when finding a provider for vision therapy or prisms The difference between vision therapy and prism lenses A free screening tool to see if binocular vision dysfunction might be at play for you It can be tough to find the right treatments, but remember—if a treatment doesn't work, you are not failing anything. It just wasn't the right option for you. If you have questions about this or you want support as you explore vision therapy and prism lenses, join us in Vestibular Group Fit (use code GROUNDED)!

Are your medicines actually working for you? According to Professor Nick Barber, probably not as well as you think. In this episode of The Aural Apothecary, Jamie, Gimmo and STC are joined by Professor Nick Barber — pharmacist, academic and author of the new book How to take Drugs — for a sharp, eye-opening conversation about why medicines so often fail in the real world. Not because the drugs are useless, but because taking medicines is far more complicated than we pretend.They explore the messy reality behind adherence, side effects, polypharmacy and patient behaviour — and why healthcare systems routinely overestimate what medicines can achieve while underestimating how hard they are to use properly.Along the way, Nick reflects on decades spent researching medicines optimisation and patient safety, arguing that the future of healthcare may depend less on discovering new treatments and more on helping people use existing ones better.A thoughtful, provocative conversation about one of modern medicine's biggest blind spots.Buy the book here https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/nick-barber/how-to-take-drugs/9781035072132Two seminal papers by Nick , discussed on the podcast:What constitutes good prescribing? https://www.bmj.com/content/310/6984/923 Quality of medication use in primary care--mapping the problem, working to a solution: a systematic review of the literature https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19772551/Website discussed on the podcast re ASSESSING MEDICATION FOR ANTICHOLINERGIC BURDEN (USING THE ANTICHOLINERGIC EFFECT ON COGNITION TOOL) AND FOR QTc PROLONGATION, HYPONATRAEMIA, BLEEDING, DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS and CONSTIPATION MedichecAbout Professor Nick Barber ProfessorNick Barber is one of the UK's leading experts in pharmacy practice, medicines optimisation and patient safety.

In today's episode, Gina discusses some of the more disturbing physical symptoms that anxiety can present us with. These symptoms can strike us at any time and often lead us to think there is something medically wrong with us. A range of these symptoms are explored: what causes them and what can be done to quiet them when we realize that anxiety is the cause. Listen in for great tips on how to reduce and eliminate some of anxiety's worst bodily sensations and symptoms!Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.If you'd like a quiet place to land as the week winds down, you can join here: http://eepurl.com/bR2F9P or on our website anxietycoachespodcast.com and sign up for the newsletter.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors! https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/Website https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.comJoin our community Group Coaching Join our Group Coaching Full or Mini Membership Program1:1 Coaching Learn more about our One-on-One CoachingIf you prefer to listen AD-FREE, try our Supercast premium access membership:Learn more about anxiety What is anxiety?Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.-Christopher GermerChapters0:26 Anxiety Dizziness Explained3:25 Breathing and Carbon Dioxide6:49 Body Tension and Triggers8:41 Calming the Nervous System10:06 Movement and Meditation12:10 Healing Happens Gradually14:08 Watch Caffeine and Stimulants17:25 Change the Inner Script18:36 Hope and RecoverySummaryIn this episode, we look at the dizzy, lightheaded, off-balance feeling that can happen when anxiety is high. We describe how these sensations can appear during everyday situations, how they can quickly trigger fear, and how that fear can intensify the symptoms.We explain some possible physical causes of anxiety-related dizziness, especially changes in breathing. When we breathe faster and more shallowly, carbon dioxide levels can drop, which may lead to lightheadedness, tingling, feeling unreal, chest tightness, unsteadiness, vision changes, or brain fog.We also discuss other contributors, including muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, jaw, and scalp, as well as blood sugar swings, dehydration, sleep deprivation, overstimulation, and caffeine or other stimulants. We note that these sensations are real, but they are often linked to a dysregulated nervous system rather than a medical emergency.We then share practical ways to help the body feel steadier: gentle diaphragmatic breathing, movement such as walking or stretching, meditation or quiet nervous system rest, reducing overall nervous system load, and paying attention to triggers like caffeine and lack of sleep. We also emphasize using non-catastrophic self-talk during symptoms.We close by encouraging patience and self-compassion, noting that recovery often happens gradually as the nervous system learns safety again.#AnxietyDizziness #Lightheadedness #AnxietySymptoms #PanicAttackRelief #AnxietyLoop #FightOrFlight #PhysicalAnxiety #Derealization #OvercomingPanic #AnxietyIsReal #AnxietySupport #NervousSystemRegulation #VagusNerve #SomaticHealing #CalmYourNervousSystem #NervousSystemHealing #BodyMindConnection #BreathworkForAnxiety #DiaphragmaticBreathing #SomaticAwareness #AnxietyRecovery #HolisticHealing #StressReduction #CaffeineFree #BloodSugarBalance #MindfulMovement #SleepDeprivation #DigitalDetox #Overstimulation #CalmTheMind #MindfulSelfTalk #SelfCompassion #MindfulnessPractice #AnxietyCoaching #MentalHealthMatters #InnerPeace #HealingIsLinear #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #YouAreNotAloneSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Triggering. Controversial. Frustrating. Today, we're talking about foods that trigger Vestibular Migraine. As a person who does not have a vestibular disorder, I'm confident I can give you an objective answer for this. For some, there are foods that always trigger a migraine attack. For others, there's a bit of a gray zone—some foods that sometimes trigger a migraine attack. And still others may find that food isn't a contributing factor to their threshold. Where do you fall and what's your best course of action? Tune in! In this episode, we'll dig into: The truth about “trigger foods” and why the topic is so controversial How the migraine threshold works & why food is often just the tipping point, not the cause Histamine, inflammation, and why leftovers can hit differently than fresh food What’s actually going on in the body when caffeine and alcohol are consumed What CGRP is and why it matters for migraine treatment Why trigger foods are wildly person-dependent The vestibular-migraine overlap when it comes to food If you have questions about this or you want to start working on building a bigger bucket so you can start adding foods back into your diet, join us in Vestibular Group Fit (use code GROUNDED)!

Dr. Anand Bery joins us again as we revisit the basics on how to evaluate dizziness by using timing and triggers, and then we look at some of the ways that real life diagnoses, like migraine, chronic functional states, and other disorders overlap. We focus on key findings in the history and exam that keep us from overcalling Meniere's, missing vestibular migraine, or mislabeling chronic dizziness as PPPD without checking for other causes.

Carl Trueman joins Mere Fidelity to discuss his book The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity. They examine why "desecration" captures something "disenchantment" misses — the frenzied, ecstatic violation of what is still recognized as sacred — and trace its implications for abortion, gender, technology, and end-of-life ethics. Trueman argues the church's answer is consecration: creed, worship, and a code of hospitality that restores genuine personhood.

We do SO much inside Vestibular Group Fit! So much that I'm not even sure how to talk about it half the time. For example… we have a book club! We recently read The Way Out. It's a book by Alan Gordon about chronic pain, which parallels a lot of useful concepts to look at chronic dizziness. So many members in VGF love this book and when they first read it go “WOW I feel seen!” So… let's talk about it. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why The Way Out is a book that's relevant to dizziness How the body interprets pain What the pain reprocessing theory is How the pain-fear-pain cycle keeps you stuck How the concept of miswiring for chronic pain is similar to chronic dizziness The differences between chronic pain and chronic dizziness What to remember about mindset as new pathways develop This is a great book that explains a nuanced topic very well in easy-to-read language, and has many parallels to dizziness that makes this a great resource for anyone with a vestibular disorder! I get a ton of people wondering if they'll be able to travel or drive or [insert your activity here] again. The answer is always and consistently: YES. The thing you have to note is that it will take time, consistency, and the right tools. VGF member, Diana, was able to take an 8-day trip out-of-the-country! Grab the tools she and hundreds of other members have used to get back to the things they so desperately wanted to. → JOIN VESTIBULAR GROUP FIT!

Can anxiety really affect your eyes and vision?Why do so many people with anxiety experience blurry vision, eye floaters, dizziness, light sensitivity, visual snow, eye pressure, tunnel vision, or strange visual sensations during stress and panic? In this episode of the The Anxiety Chicks, we sit down with renowned neuro-ophthalmologist Dr. Rani Banik to answer the anxiety-provoking eye symptom questions our community asks constantly. This conversation is incredibly validating for anyone who spirals over vision changes or worries something serious is being missed. Dr. Rani explains the science behind how stress, adrenaline, nervous system activation, inflammation, sleep, screen exposure, and hypervigilance can impact the eyes and visual system and when symptoms should actually be evaluated further. We discuss: Blurry vision and anxiety Eye floaters and flashes Light sensitivity and fluorescent lighting Dizziness and visual overwhelm Eye strain and screen fatigue Visual snow and derealization feelings Why anxiety makes you hyper-aware of visual sensations The connection between the brain, nervous system, and eyesight Integrative approaches to eye health Nutrition and lifestyle support for visual wellness When eye symptoms are usually benign vs. when to get checked Dr. Rani also shares practical tools that may help support nervous system regulation and eye comfort, along with insight into integrative and functional approaches to visual health.

Gentle movement—and movement in general—should be a part of everyone's toolkit. Whether it be for rest and recovery, a tool to help with something specific like travel, or a way to channel out excess energy or anxiety… gentle movement is incredibly beneficial for everyone. I'm sharing several different gentle movement and exercise ideas you can pull from and test out for yourself. In this episode, we'll dig into: Who can benefit from gentle movement Different types of gentle movement exercises Ideal times or circumstances to try gentle movements What to do if a gentle movement you like “isn't working” Find one or two that you like and keep on your list to try. If there's an area that interests you, start there! If the ones you typically like don't work for a certain situation, come back to the list to see what other options you can try.

Dizziness, vertigo, and feeling off balance can be some of the most disabling symptoms of vestibular migraine, but is vestibular therapy the right solution? In this episode of Spotlight on Migraine, host Molly O'Brien sits down with physical therapist Madison Oak, PT, DPT (aka The Vertigo Doctor) to break down what vestibular rehabilitation therapy actually is, who it was designed for, and how it may fit into treating vestibular migraine. Oak also shares insights from both research and clinical experience, what progress looks like, and why vestibular therapy can be helpful for some people, if the timing is right.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn this episode, David Epstein explores a powerful idea: constraints don't limit us – they make us better.Drawing from his book Inside the Box, he explains why too much freedom often leads to overwhelm, indecision, and worse outcomes. Whether it's creativity, productivity, or everyday decisions, we perform better when we narrow the field and work within clear boundaries.Through stories – from failed tech startups with too many ideas to elite performers who thrive under restrictions – he shows how constraints help us prioritize, think differently, and follow through. Even creativity, he argues, doesn't come from endless freedom, but from being boxed in just enough to spark better solutions.If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or overloaded with choices, this episode offers a simple reframe: you don't need more options – just better constraints.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow constraints improve creativity, focus, and performanceWhy too much choice leads to overwhelm and worse decisionsWhy creativity thrives with fewer optionsHow distractions are training your brain to lose focusWhy doing less often leads to better resultsKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro – Constraints, Overwhelm, and Why This Matters(3:37) Meet David Epstein(6:19) From Range to Constraints(8:18) The Dizziness of Freedom(12:05) The Creativity Myth(14:04) The Green Eggs and Ham Effect(16:32) Constraints-Led Approach Skill Learning(19:38) Futsal & Constraints in Sport(21:16) The General Magic Story(32:53) HARKing in Science(51:51) Think Slow, Act Fast(55:57) Creativity vs. Originality(1:00:26) Constraints in Parenting(1:10:19) Commitment Devices(1:16:06) Make Your Commitments Visible(1:16:52) Reclaiming Your Attention(1:21:49) Book Recommendation & ClosingHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, Momentous, Vitality, and Kreatures of Habit

Send us Fan MailThe room spins when you roll over in bed, then it vanishes, and you start wondering if you should just “wait it out.” That's where so many people lose weeks of their life to dizziness, falls and fear. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker sits down with Vince Whalen, a physical therapist and co-founder of Wadsworth Family Physical Therapy, to break down what vestibular therapy and evidence-based physical therapy can do when vertigo, imbalance and pain start shrinking your world.They get specific about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): why “crystals” in the inner ear trigger spinning, how different semicircular canals require different maneuvers and how watching eye movements through goggles helps a PT pinpoint the real problem.Diet culture, you've met your scientific match.Debunking wellness trends, fitness fads, and diet culture with science.

Ahh, the nuance of returning to vestibular rehab therapy (VRT) or… not. There's a recent episode where the focus was more on should you start VRT. This episode has a slightly different focus in that this is more for the person who has gone through VRT before and “graduated.” I don't love the phrasing that you “graduate” from VRT. That word carries some finality with it, where—in reality—you may choose to return or even to try something different. And that's perfectly ok and normal! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why it's a misconception that I don't like VRT Reasons you may want to go back for a VRT “tune up” Things you should be learning throughout VRT What management looks like outside of rehab How VRT can actually help you learn to “scale” life What to be mindful of toward the end of a care plan How to know if last time maybe you started VRT too early Every single person is different and that is why you having this conversation with your physical therapist is absolutely a nonnegotiable. If you're in that place where vestibular rehab therapy is making you feel worse, Vestibular Group Fit is here for you! This is where the program really shines and supports people.

Wondering if you have BPPV? For anyone with chronic dizziness, it can be really hard and distressing to figure out if that dizziness is a sign of Vestibular Migraine or BPPV. While it's a great sign that more people are talking about chronic dizziness, not every dizzy sensation is BPPV. These are questions to start asking yourself along with an idea of when you should call your provider to be assessed for BPPV. In this episode, we'll dig into: How to know it's time to reassess for BPPV or other possible conditions What does “positional dizziness” even mean What it could be if not BPPV Diagnostic criteria and symptoms specific to BPPV When to contact a provider to get assessed for BPPV Important notes if you're doing any short-term tracking BPPV is really hard to diagnose—but not impossible. Keep these symptoms and notes in mind if you're short-term tracking or if this is an area you're trying to better understand about yourself. Having the knowledge that you can handle it (because you have in the past) and that you have a plan and better idea of what to do, the faster you'll feel in control and will be able to swiftly pick the best course of action.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-02-2026: Dr. Dawn briefly responds to an emailer in Aptos, advising that her numbers don't require rushing into therapy but recommending a more thorough workup. An emailer asks about her sister's osteoporosis treatment, including Reclast side effects and vitamin D levels of 28. Dr. Dawn recommends raising vitamin D to around 50, adding vitamin K2 (MK7-9) and calcium, and suggests weekly oral Fosamax as an alternative to annual Reclast infusions that cause week-long flu-like symptoms. A caller reports dizziness when sitting up in bed and recent fainting episodes during hot weather. Dr. Dawn distinguishes vestibular problems from postural hypotension — spinning dizziness when legs are still in bed suggests loose otoliths in the semicircular canals rather than blood pressure issues. She recommends the Dr. Foster vestibular exercises and increased fluid and salt intake. Cancer survival has reached a major milestone: 70% of U.S. patients now survive at least five years, up from 50% in the 1970s, thanks to reduced smoking and advances like immunotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors. An Estonian Biobank study of 67,000 adults found men's libido peaks in their early 40s while women's peaks in their 20s-30s with sharper decline around age 50, though testosterone levels begin falling in men's early 30s. Dr. Dawn frames perimenopause and menopause as natural transitions rather than diseases, explaining that perimenopausal hormone swings can actually be larger and more erratic than during fertile years. She recommends limiting caffeine (which is metabolized more slowly after menopause), alcohol, and spicy foods, and strongly advocates transdermal bioidentical hormones over oral synthetics—oral estrogen increases clotting risk 400% while transdermal carries no increased risk. An emailer asks about transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. Dr. Dawn explains that while the technology works and shows benefit in studies, targeting remains challenging because each person's brain architecture differs based on individual developmental experiences. Researchers found that applying gamma-frequency electrical stimulation (40-90 Hz) to frontal and parietal lobes made participants more likely to choose generous money-splitting options with strangers, suggesting brain stimulation can nudge social decision-making toward altruism. A small Indian study found that daily conch shell blowing reduced sleep apnea symptoms by 34% after six months, similar to earlier didgeridoo research—blowing against resistance strengthens airway muscles and increases resting muscle tone during sleep.
In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman PT are joined by Dr. Mickey Shah, PT, D.Sc. NCS, OCS, FAAOMPT, Dip. MDT; Certified Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist - Emory, AVPT (Pittsburgh) to unpack the connection between pain and dizziness.Together, they explore how the neck plays a critical role in balance, why dizziness isn't always vestibular, and how clinicians can better assess and treat patients with overlapping symptoms.From real clinical insights to practical strategies, this episode bridges the gap between vestibular therapy, pain science, and musculoskeletal care—making it a must-watch for clinicians and patients alike.Episode Resources: www.EvidenceCEU.comwww.Goodliferehab.comMidwest Vestibular Rehab SymposiumHosted by:

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how salt (sodium) affects mental and physical performance, as well as cellular health. I describe how the brain monitors sodium levels to regulate thirst and fluid balance, and why salt needs can vary depending on activity level, stress, blood pressure, and diet. I also explain how to determine the right sodium intake for your individual needs and discuss why some people may benefit from increasing salt and other electrolytes.

Blood sugar crashes, dizziness, and fatigue may be signs of nutrient depletion, toxicity and gut absorption issues.
Taking an SSRI or SNRI is considered the gold standard for PPPD treatment. But is it? Honestly, it depends. (And you know we're gonna take a look at the research!) A lot of people are really sensitive to medication or simply don't want to take it. And while you don't need to take medication—it could be helpful. It could also not be helpful. To get to the best answer for your unique situation, it involves considering your specific wants and needs, goals, and timeline. In this episode, we'll dig into: What the research says about the efficacy of SSRIs and SNRIs for treating PPPD Why SSRI/SNRIs are being considered as a treatment tool to begin with The relationship between our nervous system and dizziness Real world examples of how your brain tries to protect you New module that's coming to Vestibular Group Fit this year How an SSRI or SNRI can help treat PPPD Things to do aside from meds to help regulate the nervous system The first step of better managing PPPD No, you can't think your way out of chronic dizziness, but your brain and the way you're thinking about things does have a big impact on your vestibular disorder. There is no right or wrong way to go about treating PPPD, vestibular migraine, or any other vestibular disorder. And… it's expected for things to be changing and shifting as you try treatment methods, learn new things, or other goals or priorities force you to change your plan a bit. Things can get better! I see it every week inside Vestibular Group Fit! We'd love to see you in there.

You might be familiar with the placebo effect, which is the opposite of the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is how negative expectations about how medical encounters can produce negative outcomes. And, as we've talked about before, your brain is a prediction machine. That's literally its job! So what does this actually look like in everyday life, how can it impact vestibular disorders, and the role mindset plays in the impact of the nocebo effect. In this episode, we'll dig into: How side effects play a role in the nocebo effect Examples of the prediction method in action What research reveals about the impact of the nocebo effect How asking better questions can lessen the impact of the nocebo effect When your brain is told something, it will believe it. As humans, we're designed to find the negatives. And we know that about ourselves, so we need to then intentionally decide that we're going to shift the way we think about things. Though it's not always our first instinct, it's absolutely doable!

Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn't I change? What stands the test of time and hasn't lost any potency? This episode features three of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. The audiobook, produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, is available wherever audiobooks are sold. You can find it on Audible, Apple, Google, Spotify, Downpour.com, or wherever you get your favorite audiobooks.This episode is brought to you by:Gusto simple and easy payroll, HR, and benefits platform used by 400,000+ businesses: https://gusto.com/timMomentous high-quality creatine for cognitive and muscular support: https://livemomentous.com/Tim Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim Coyote the card game, which I co-created with Exploding Kittens: https://coyotegame.comTIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:31] Mini-retirements: embracing the mobile lifestyle.[00:09:22] The birth of mini-retirements and the death of vacations.[00:11:03] The alternative to binge traveling.[00:16:14] Purging the demons: emotional freedom.[00:18:43] The financial realities: it just gets better.[00:24:24] Fear factors: overcoming excuses not to travel.[00:30:08] When more is less: cutting the clutter.[00:39:29] The Bora-Bora dealmaker.[00:43:11] Questions and actions.[00:44:22] Take an asset and cash-flow snapshot.[00:45:02] Fear-set a one-year mini-retirement in a dream location in Europe.[00:48:38] Prepare for your trip.[00:59:42] Adding life after subtracting work.[01:01:51] Depression and boredom: it's normal.[01:05:31] Frustrations and doubts: you're not alone.[01:12:01] The point of it all.[01:13:37] Learning unlimited: sharpening the saw.[01:17:24] Service for the right reasons.[01:20:05] Questions and actions.[01:22:46] Make an anonymous donation to the service organization of your choice.[01:24:05] Take a learning mini-retirement in combination with local volunteering.[01:28:42] The top 13 new rich mistakes.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
