Is stress the real culprit behind your migraines? In this episode, I uncover the hidden connection between stress and migraine attacks—and why the nervous system’s shutdown response (as explained by Polyvagal Theory) could be the missing piece of the puzzle.
We’ll explore:
✔ How chronic stress overloads the brain and makes migraines more frequent.
✔ The link between stress, inflammation, gut health, and oxidative stress.
✔ Why the withdrawal (shutdown) response could explain migraine patterns.
✔ The symptoms in the premonitory and postdrome phases that reveal this link.
✔ How my SMH 3-Step Migraine Reset Method can help you take back control.
If you’re tired of stress ruling your migraines, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to calm your nervous system, reduce triggers, and finally break the stress-migraine cycle.
