Have you ever wondered how astronauts adapt to zero gravity-or why you feel dizzy after spinning around? The answer lies in the vestibular system, an intricate part of your inner ear responsible for balance, spatial awareness, and coordination. This tiny yet powerful system allows you to navigate the world without stumbling, but what happens when it’s disrupted?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the science of the vestibular system, exploring:

✔️ How the inner ear, brain, and body work together to maintain balance
✔️ What happens when gravity disappears—and how astronauts retrain their bodies after space missions
✔️ The surprising connection between vestibular function and cognitive performance
✔️ How vestibular disorders affect everyday life, from vertigo to motion sickness
✔️ Practical ways to train and strengthen your balance system, whether you're an athlete, an aging adult, or just looking to optimize your brain health

We’ll also discuss cutting-edge research in neuroscience and space medicine, revealing how the absence of gravity alters brain structure and why NASA studies the vestibular system to prepare for deep-space travel.

Whether you’re fascinated by human physiology, curious about space travel, or simply want to improve your coordination, this episode is packed with insights that will change the way you think about balance, movement, and brain function.
