Have you noticed that meat, chicken, beef, fish, just doesn't sound appealing anymore? That you'd rather have Greek yogurt, cheese, or pasta than a piece of steak?That you used to eat a full hamburger and now a couple of bites feels like enough?

Monica was taking Fioricet, Zofran, and ibuprofen several times a week on top of Nurtec every other day as a preventative. She'd been battling severe migraines with debilitating nausea for almost 20 years. After six weeks of working together, she went 10 days without any abortive medication.

And why does chicken breast sound about as appealing as chewing cardboard?In this episode, I reveal the hidden epidemic among women with chronic migraines that no one is talking about: low appetite. Not lack of hunger, but the kinds of foods your body finds appealing versus repulsive. Most women assume their food cravings are genetic or emotional. But I've found

Why do you see static, hear ringing, or feel disconnected during a migraine? In this episode, I break down the neurological symptoms most people don't realize are actually migraines. We're not talking about head pain here, we're talking about visual auras, brain fog, tinnitus, and that strange feeling of being disconnected from reality.

Cynthia spent decades dealing with migraines that started in her mid-30s and progressively worsened until they were controlling her life. By her late 50s, she was canceling work meetings, lying in dark rooms for days at a time, and vomiting during attacks.

Why can't you walk down the detergent aisle without triggering a migraine?In this follow-up episode, I break down the hidden connection between odor sensitivity and chronic migraines, and why it's not just "how you're wired."

The 2026 Food Pyramid guidelines just dropped... Real food, double the protein, whole milk dairy, way fewer grains. Sounds like a win, right?

This episode was inspired by a woman on a free consult who told me she tries to stop a migraine by putting on upbeat music and raising her mood and energy.I’m so glad she asked, because this is a common misunderstanding of what I mean when I talk about thethird principle: resilience and vitality. In this episode, I explain the difference between “positive mindset” and theactual organizing energy of the body(what some traditions call chi or the vital force).If your vitality is low, your

When we started working together three months ago, Emily had daily head pain, migraines flaring on top of it, and she was following the GAPS diet (one of the most restrictive elimination diets out there). She had been on it for two years. And despite all that effort, she still had major digestive symptoms… and she still had daily head pain. In this episode, I explain why

My client Linda lives in the Midwest. The big temperature swings and storms guaranteed a severe, bedridden migraine every single time. Here's what's happening: Barometric pressure changes and temperature fluctuations are physical stressors on your body. Everyone experiences them, but not everyone gets migraines. Why? It's not the stressor alone, it's the interplay between the stressor and your resilience and vitality. Think of your body like a compass needle. When you're healthy, the needle

You leave your neurologist's office with another prescription. You thought they'd finally dig intowhyyou're getting migraines. Instead? Another medication to try. Here's what most people don't understand: Medical doctors aren't looking for root causes. They're confirming a diagnosis and following a checklist called "standard of care." Once the diagnosis is made, the doctor follows an algorithm: Try this medication. If that doesn't work, try this one. Keep moving down the list. They're not

Or maybe you're the one smelling everything, and no one else does. This is odor sensitivity, and it's one of the most disruptive migraine symptoms.

2025/11/26

Have you seen this TikTok hack? It goes something like this:"Instant migraine relief! Put your feet in hot water and an ice pack on your neck!" Does it work? Maybe. For 15 minutes. Here's the physiology: Hot water dilates blood vessels in your feet, pulling blood down. Ice on your neck constricts vessels, pushing blood away from your head. You temporarily reduce blood flow to your brain, which might ease throbbing. But your body won't let this last. Within 15 minutes, it pushes blood back
