    I recently opened a Health Food Store with ridiculously low amount of financial investments by simply building most of the furniture myself. I also never pay for gym memberships as I always workout at home and actually have better results then before because of the convenience of exercising at home 😂.

    In many ways, i am happy that ive had a life full of adversity. Because it has taught me to adapt and make the best of a situation. People i know are complaining and making excuses with pandemic, oh we cant do this and we can do that etc. Instead of just working around the issue at hand. So the gym is close, go for a walk, ride the bicycle. run, workout at home or even better outside, climbing tree's believe it or not, is a heck of a workout, sure apes are different, but believe me, we humans can get pretty strong as well.
    So many people just seem to be defeated as the slightest whim, when they get everything to go their way.

    Always enjoy your friendly, mostly positive, practical discussions. I'm not even a bodybuilder and never will be. Bu you look terrific. Vertigo is so horrible -- mine is mostly from bruxism and slightly uneven dentistry from crowns, messing with the nerves in my ear on the left side. There's like 300 possible causes of vertigo, so I hope you had BPPV or something less significant. Best wishes to you and your husband.

    Scooby, BPPV is very common and easily treated with some simple head maneuvers, as you said. Must have been scary if you were flying when it came on, but if that was the cause of your vertigo I doubt it will prevent you from flying once it gets better !

    Found your fitness videos more than 10 years ago (before a word in them was even spoken) :) and I still keep on watching and learning new valuable things. What I really like and respect is - you live by the words you say. Taking bad situations as an opportunity to turn into something even better (like with unfortunate doxxing you experienced) is a mastery of living a good life. You are a true inspiration, thank you for everything. Happy you're still making videos, keep up the good work and good luck with medical exams!

  • @mikey0193

    I've been watching your videos, and reading your website for a long time now, at least 10 years. Kept telling myself "I'm gonna start excersing and eating better soon". As the years went on, weight got worse until I finally got a physical after like 10 years of no doctor visits. Saw my weight at 353 pounds and it finally hit me, I had to change. Went right back to your videos and website. Did the basics, counted calories and exercised. Just a year and 2 months later, down 160 pounds and joining the Marine Corps. I just wanted to say thank you, you really have helped me change my life for the better!
    You really are an inspiration, and a great role model. I hope you get to return to flying.

    My grandma has BPPV and that condition has a good prognosis with proper treatment overtime. I have faith you'll be up and flying again, just avoid sudden movements and getting up from a prone or lying down position too quickly.

The incidences were infrequent, sometimes once a month, sometimes every other month. I retired from my job, was overweight and completely changed my diet with strength training thrown in. Its been 4 years and I haven't had anymore episodes since dropping weight and diet change. I know from watching your videos you eat clean, so I hope the doctors can help you out! Good luck Scooby!

    I've suffered from Meniere's Disease for 17 years. If I have a vertigo attack, it's not just a question of sitting down. It's a *very* big deal. I'm literally seeing the world spin by in a blur, and it typically lasts for hours. If I had been driving during some of these attacks, I would have undoubtedly crashed the car. In any case, I'm very familiar with vestibular disorders as a result of dealing with this for so long.
    BPPV, by contrast, is fixable. There are manuevers that can be used to move the crystal(s) into a safe position so that they do not cause the balance issues. I would definitely go back to your doctor and see if you can apply the Epley maneuver, or one of the other procedures which fix BPPV. My expectation would be that you could make a full recovery and fly again at some point. I have a friend who briefly suffered this condition years ago and made a full recovery and never suffered this problem again and has no aftereffects.
    Good luck to you!

    Like you said there are other things you can enjoy. While one door closes another door opens.

    Great video..when you came to mention the two things that pilots need I thought the second was going to be eye sight! Of course that's a taken! Hopefully you'll be able to continue flying Dotty.
