In this episode of Migraines Unmasked, we take a grounded, integrative look at migraines—those intense neurological storms that go far beyond a standard headache. We unpack how blood flow shifts in the brain set the stage for pain and how everyday factors like medications, supplements, food, and even exercise can unexpectedly trigger or calm that cascade.
Ever wondered why a blood pressure medication or muscle relaxer might cause a migraine instead of preventing one? Or why something as simple as a glass of red wine or a yoga session leaves you with a pounding head? This episode explores those questions through the lens of functional health—digging into underlying contributors like food sensitivities, gut imbalances, hormone fluctuations, heavy metal exposure, and nutrient deficiencies.
We also break down the role of migraine medications like Nurtec and Naratriptan, and explore how their mechanisms might be naturally supported through magnesium, anti-inflammatory herbs, and targeted lifestyle strategies.
Whether you’re managing migraines with prescriptions, holistic tools, or both—this episode offers insights to help you build a more personalized path to relief.
