In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast , host Diane Ducarme uncovers a hidden trigger many overlook: the state of your nervous system when you eat. Because when stress takes over, your body doesn’t just think differently, it digests, absorbs, and reacts differently too. You’ll discover: 💡 How stress can quietly shift your appetite, food choices, and lower your migraine threshold without you realizing it 💡 Why irregular or emotional eating creates internal chaos that your migraine brain struggles to tolerate 💡 A simple at-home practice to help your body move from tension to calm before a migraine fully builds This episode invites you to look beyond food itself and start listening to the state your body is in when you nourish it. Because sometimes, the trigger isn’t on your plate… it’s at your pace. 🎧 New episodes every Monday and Wednesday 🔗 Discover our work on migraineheroes.com References: Global Burden of Headache Disorders (Stovner et al., 2025): This paper provides updated global estimates of headache disorders, highlighting their widespread impact on disability and public health worldwide.
