204. The Nocebo Effect and How Doctors Unknowingly Create Chronic Conditions
Your doctor just became your worst enemy. When the medical establishment brands chronic dizziness conditions like PPPD, MDDS, and vestibular migraines as "incurable," they're not just wrong, they're actively destroying lives through calculated ignorance. Dr. Yonit Arthur, a board-certified audiologist with a doctorate from Purdue University, drops a bombshell: patients experiencing 24/7 sensory collapse, paralyzing terror, and complete disorientation aren't suffering from permanent damage. They're trapped in a fear loop that doctors reinforce with every "learn to manage it" prescription. After watching the medical system fail hundreds of desperate patients who've seen 20, 30, even 40 specialists, Dr. Arthur launched The Steady Coach a popular YouTube channel with free courses to expose an uncomfortable truth. These "chronic" conditions persist because patients have been programmed to believe they're broken. We discuss the way out. https://thesteadycoach.com/https://www.youtube.com/@thesteadycoach

202. The Session That Made Me Question Everything I Know About Healing
In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Roger McFillin shares the therapy session that shattered his understanding of how healing actually works.

A powerful lesson in the abilities we all possess but have forgotten.
