How Weather Triggers Migraines: Barometric Pressure, Humidity & Traditional Chinese Medicine Insights

Can changes in the weather really predict your next migraine attack? This episode dives deep into the science—and ancient wisdom—behind weather-induced migraines. Host Diane Ducarme, founder of Migraine Heroes, explores the powerful link between 4 types of weather patterns (barometric pressure, temperature extremes, humidity, and storms) and migraine onset.

You’ll also discover what Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has known for centuries—and why Western medicine often misses the mark. Diane reveals how weather not only impacts your outer environment but also interacts with the "climate" inside your body, potentially setting off migraines when internal imbalances exist.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The 4 key weather factors linked to migraines (with supporting studies)
• Why storms, heat waves, and cold fronts might be more than just a coincidence
• How TCM explains weather-triggered migraines (wind, dampness, cold, and heat)

Whether your migraines come with the rain or during heat waves, this episode offers a new lens to finally understand—and take control of—your symptoms.
