Screen Time and Migraine: How to Protect Your Brain Without Living Offline

Does your phone feel like both your lifeline and your biggest migraine trigger?

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, we dive into the hidden ways screen time overstimulates your brain — and how to reduce migraine risk without quitting your job, ditching your smartphone, or cutting yourself off from the online world.

Blending Western neuroscience with Eastern healing wisdom, host Diane Ducarme unpacks the physical, mental, and emotional costs of our screen-saturated lives — and how to reclaim your brain’s balance in a digital age.

You’ll discover:

🤳 How blue light, notifications, and poor posture trigger the migraine cascade

🤳 Why your nervous system reacts differently to screens when you’re already migraine-prone

🤳 Eastern perspectives on overstimulation, “scattered Qi,” and how to restore harmony

🤳 Practical hacks — from yellow-tinted glasses to “digital walks” — that help you stay connected without sacrificing your health

This isn’t about a total digital detox — it’s about using screens in a way that serves you, not the other way around.

You’ll also hear inspiring real-life examples of migraine heroes who’ve reshaped their screen habits and found more clarity, energy, and pain-free days.

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.
