## Resource

Do you feel fine outside in the heat… only to walk into strong air conditioning and suddenly feel dizzy, foggy, or on the edge of a migraine? In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores why temperature-sensitive brains often struggle with rapid shifts between heat and cold environments. Blending neuroscience with holistic insights, this episode unpacks how sudden temperature changes can stress the nervous system and quietly lower your migraine threshold. You’ll discover: 💡 Why rapid temperature shifts can overwhelm a migraine-sensitive brain even when the temperatures seem “normal” 💡 How blood vessels, hydration, and sensory nerves react when moving from heat into cold air conditioning 💡 Simple ways to help your brain feel calmer, safer, and more stable during summer heat or heavily air-conditioned spaces If you’ve ever felt triggered by cold offices, supermarkets, airplanes, or strong AC after being outside in the heat, this episode will help you better understand what your body may be trying to tell you. 🎧 New episodes every Monday and Wednesday 🔗 Discover our work on migraineheroes.com References: Pathophysiology of Migraine (Goadsby et al., 2017): This major review explains migraine as a disorder of sensory processing involving trigeminovascular pathways, altered brain excitability, and brainstem dysfunction.
