Politics, Stress, and Migraines: When the World’s Chaos Becomes Your Pain

Ever noticed your migraines flare during election season, after breaking news, or when world events feel overwhelming? It’s not just stress in your mind—it’s a full-body response.

This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast dives into the hidden connection between political unrest, media overexposure, and migraine. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has helped thousands rewrite their migraine story, we combine neuroscience with Eastern wisdom to uncover how collective chaos can shape your personal pain.

You’ll discover:

💡 How political stress disrupts your sleep, circadian rhythms, and cortisol balance

💡 Why constant exposure to fear, anger, and conflict sensitizes the migraine brain

💡 Eastern teachings on protecting your Qi and Shen (spirit) in turbulent times

💡 Practical tools to set boundaries with news and reclaim calm for your nervous system

Politics and world events don’t just stay on the screen—they ripple through your body. If you’ve ever felt your migraines worsen in response to the world’s chaos, this episode will help you understand why, and what you can do to protect your mind and body.

For women, men, and children who suffer from migraine disease, Migraine Heroes is your go-to resource for understanding, managing, and overcoming migraine attacks.

We cover all types of migraines and related headaches, including primary and secondary migraines, chronic migraines, and cluster migraines. We dive deep into the complexities of migraine with aura and migraine without aura, as well as rarer forms like hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, and acephalgic migraine (silent migraine). Our discussions also extend to cervicogenic headaches, ice pick headaches, and pressure headaches, which often mimic migraine or contribute to overall migraine burden.
