About this listen

 In each episode, one research article will be dissected in plain, clear language—no opinions, just evidence. We will do a deep dive into the world of health & wellness, physical medicine & rehab, and pain. The focus is on detailed explanations that help you understand the evidence and apply it to real life. Whether you're an athlete, a healthcare provider, someone who enjoys staying informed, or just getting started with health and wellness, this podcast makes research easy to follow, digest, and use—without the jargon.

    29: Vitamin D and Vertigo: A Systematic Review
    Aug 15 2025

    This episode dissects a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the relationship between vitamin D supplementation and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a common inner ear disorder causing dizziness. The authors examine existing literature to determine if vitamin D deficiency is associated with BPPV and whether supplementation can reduce its intensity or recurrence.
