Steak Plate with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and a Stuffed Beet

Symptom check-in

POTS: I had dizziness every time I stood up today and trouble breathing during simple exercise today - I needed protein and salt today, and steak with salted vegetables actually made me feel steadier.

Vestibular migraine: I had no vestibular migraine symptoms today - no vertigo, no nausea, and no light sensitivity.

Lupus: I had body aches and a fever today, and my skin felt hot and reactive like a rash was coming - I wanted an anti-inflammatory plate today, and I needed something fully cooked and grounding.

Disorder safety check

Condition	Works?	Why
POTS	Yes	Salt + protein helps; easy to add sodium with butter and seasoning
Vestibular migraine	Not targeted	Fine if no triggers, but it is not specifically migraine-supportive
Lupus	Yes	Roasted vegetables plus beets and herbs is anti-inflammatory-leaning; fully cooked and nutrient-dense
