2026/04/23

In this episode, I’m talking about seasonal allergies and why so many women with migraines dread springtime. If you deal with nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and allergy flare-ups every year, I want you to understand that this is not random, and it’s not separate from your migraines.I explain why I see allergies as part of the same underlying pattern, not just a reaction to pollen or bad luck with genetics. In this conversation, I break down what’s happening physiologically when your

Do you wake up once, twice, or even three times a night to urinate and assume it’s just part of getting older? In this episode, I explain why nighttime urination is not something to brush off, especially if you struggle with chronic migraines. I break down why this symptom can point to deeper issues with kidney regulation, mineral deficiency, and nutrient delivery, and how those same imbalances can affect the brain and contribute to migraines.I also talk about how nighttime wake-ups can

2026/04/17

In this episode, I’m responding to a Medical Medium reel about migraine triggers and breaking down where I think the conversation goes off track. I talk about dehydration, electrolytes, B12, stress hormones, caffeine, allergies, and sinus issues, but more importantly, I explain why these things are oftenstressors, not true root causes. My main point is that migraines don’t happen just because of one food, one supplement deficiency, or one bad day. They happen when the body has lost

In I breakdown one of the most common questions I hear from women with migraines:should you try intermittent fasting?I explainwhy fasting can seem helpful at first, how it may support digestive rest in some cases, and why it can also be a problem for migraine sufferers who are sensitive to missed meals and blood sugar dips. We also unpack the difference between simply reducing food intake and actually restoring health.We talk through through inflammation, digestion, nutrient depletion, and

105. Are Your Migraines Really From Mold?

2026/04/10

In this episode, I’m talking about mold exposure and migraines,and why I think this topic is creating a lot more fear than clarity. I explain why mold has become such a hot diagnosis in the natural medicine world, how newer specialty lab testing has influenced that conversation, and why I don’t think mold is the root cause in as many cases as people are being told.I also break down what mold actually is, what mycotoxins are, why so-called “mold symptoms” often overlap with general

104. Chronic Migraines and the Grief No One Talks About

Healing Migraines Naturally ·

2026/04/06

In this episode, I walk through an article about grief and migraine disease, and I share why grief is such a real part of living with chronic migraines. When migraines keep taking you out of your life, from work, relationships, travel, and everyday moments, of course grief shows up. I also talk about denial, anger, anxiety, and depression, and why so many women feel stuck between being told their migraines are just genetic and sensing there has to be a deeper reason. I explain how I see the

103. What Self-Care Really Means for Migraine Sufferers

Healing Migraines Naturally ·

2026/04/01

In this episode, I talk about what self-care actually means for women with chronic migraines. So often, self-care gets reduced to things like massages, facials, or a spa day — but for many women with migraines, that framing can feel frustrating and completely out of touch. I explain why real self-care is often much deeper, and why it has more to do with self-compassion than pampering.I also walk through a pattern I see in many women with migraines: being much harder on ourselves than we

2026/03/27

A lot of migraine sufferers are told their spine is out of alignment and that chiropractic care could be the missing piece. In this episode, I break down when chiropractic treatment can actually be helpful, when it may miss the real issue, and why alignment is sometimes only part of the picture. I also explain why some women feel better after an adjustment, while others end up triggered into a migraine afterward.If you’ve ever wondered whether chiropractic care is worth trying for your

101. Do Massages Help Migraines, Or Make Them Worse?

Healing Migraines Naturally ·

2026/03/23

A lot of migraine sufferers feel their attacks start in the neck and shoulders, so it makes sense to wonder if massage could help stop a migraine before it fully kicks in. In this episode, I break down when massage can actually be helpful, when it can make things worse, and why that neck and shoulder pain is often a migraine symptom itself — not the root cause. I also explain why some women walk out of a massage feeling better, while others end up with a full-blown migraine soon after. If

100. Are Migraines Genetic? What Your Doctor Isn't...

Healing Migraines Naturally ·

2026/03/18

One of the most common questions I get is:are my migraines genetic? And I completely understand why: Most people are told by their doctor that migraines run in the family, which is really just a polite way of saying you're unlucky and there's nothing to be done about it. In this episode I explain why that answer is incomplete, and why it's keeping so many women stuck. Here's the truth: there is no migraine gene. Yes, there is a genetic predisposition, but whether those genes actually

2026/03/13

Have you ever noticed that a migraine feels almost exactly like a hangover? That's not a coincidence — and in this episode, I explain exactly why.Migraines are a major toxicity symptom. When the body accumulates more metabolic waste and environmental toxins than the liver can process, the bucket overflows — and that overflow is what we call a migraine. Just like we know a hangover means the liver is working overtime to process alcohol, a migraine means the liver is struggling to drain what

2026/03/11

Every spring and fall, I hear from so many of you that daylight saving time triggered a migraine—and it makes complete sense. That one-hour shift isn't just lost sleep. It disrupts your melatonin and cortisol rhythms, throws off your meal timing, and essentially puts your body through self-induced jet lag overnight. In this episode, I explain why migraine sufferers feel time changes so much harder than everyone else. Your body relies on routine to conserve energy—sleep, meals, light

If you've ever had sinus pain and congestion during a migraine and wondered whether you also had a sinus infection, you're not alone. This is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—migraine symptoms there is, and it sends thousands of women through rounds of antibiotics, ENT visits, and nasal scopes every year with no real answers. In this episode, Dr. Leslie breaks down why nasal congestion, sinus pain, seasonal allergies, and that maddening dripping nose when you sit down to eat

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? Most people chalk this up to personal preference or "just how they're wired." But this is actually a symptom, and it has everything to do with your migraines. When digestive function starts to decline, your body does something smart but costly: it

Vagus nerve stimulators are the trending new device for migraines. FDA-cleared, handheld, marketed as a breakthrough. Sounds promising, right? But if you're wondering whether adding one more device to your migraine toolkit will finally be the answer, or if it's just another expensive band-aid, this episode breaks down what you need to know.

A neurologist shares her top 5 migraine tips: track your headaches, treat early, know your triggers, limit overuse, and consider preventative medications. Sounds helpful, right?But if you've followed this exact advice and ended up with more frequent migraines, worse medication dependency, and a longer list of triggers you can't avoid, you're not alone.

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. In this episode, I break down exactly why Monica's results came so quickly and what makes my approach different from the supplement-shelf approach most natural practitioners take.

You're eating healthy, exercising, managing stress. So why do you crave bread, pasta, and crackers like your life depends on it? 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. What started as occasional Saturday headaches had turned into 10-day cycles where she couldn't tell where one migraine ended and another began. In this episode, Cynthia shares how she went from relying on beta blockers and triptans that
