I can’t wait for you to dive into today’s episode about all things migraines! I used to suffer monthly from debilitating migraines so I totally understand what you’re going through!
But it’s important to see where these migraines are coming from so we can address the root cause instead of putting a bandaid on the situation.
NSAIDS taken for migraines cause inflammation in your gut leading to leaky gut. They can also suppress ovulation, make headaches worse & put a bandaid on the root issue.
Hormonal headaches are cyclical and mostly occur just before or after your period, or around ovulation due to the spike in estrogen which triggers ovulation. I recommend tracking your migraines to pinpoint what’s going on.
NATURAL STRATEGIES
1. HYDRATING- 100oz a day with electrolytes
2. MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE- shown to prevent headaches- muscle relaxer, anti inflammatory & crucial for hormone health. 300mg daily- can increase to 600mg when you’re prone to getting a headache
3. VITAMIN B2 (riboflavin) has been shown to reduce the number of migraines people have but needs to be taken consistently- I recommend a b complex.
4. LIVER LOVING FOODS & FIBER: Liver breaks down & metabolizes hormones. Dark leafy greens, cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale, brussels, cauliflower, cabbage, collards), root veggies (beets, sweet potatoes, carrots etc)
5. FEVERFEW- shows to prevent menstrual migraines-anti inflammatory herb- 25mg daily
6. Get rid of foods you’re sensitive too - sugar, dairy, gluten, alcohol, (iGg delayed food allergies)
7. Yoga- increases circulation, reduces stress
