Summary
Why do so many migraine attacks come with nausea, bloating, stomach discomfort, or digestive shutdown? In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the powerful connection between migraines and the gut-brain axis. Blending neuroscience with holistic healing perspectives, this episode reveals why nausea is not “just a symptom,” but often part of the migraine process itself. You’ll discover: 💡 Why nausea is deeply connected to the migraine process — not simply a secondary side effect 💡 How the gut-brain axis can increase inflammation, stress signaling, and nervous system overload during attacks 💡 Simple ways to calm your digestive system at home that may help reduce migraine-related nausea naturally If you’ve ever felt like your stomach and brain are reacting together during migraines, this episode will help you better understand the deeper connection behind your symptoms. 🎧 New episodes every Monday and Wednesday 🔗 Discover our work on migraineheroes.com References: Pathophysiology of Migraine (Goadsby et al., 2017): This review explains migraine as a disorder of sensory processing involving trigeminovascular pathways, altered brain excitability, and brainstem dysfunction.
