Migraines affect women far more than men—especially during perimenopause and menopause—yet most women are never told why. In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast, we’re joined by Diane Ducarme, host of the Migraine Heroes Podcast and Founder & CEO of the Migraine Heroes app, to uncover the hidden migraine triggers women experience and how to address them at the root. Diane explains why migraines are not a random neurological problem, but a meaningful signal from your body, often tied to hormones, stress, nervous system overload, and metabolic imbalances that uniquely affect women. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why migraines are more common in women than men ✅ What happens in the body during perimenopause and menopause that triggers migraines ✅ The hidden causes most women (and doctors) miss ✅ How to approach migraine relief naturally and sustainably If you’re tired of pushing through pain or relying only on medication, this conversation will help you understand your migraines—and your body—on a deeper level. About Our Guest: Diane Ducarme is the Founder & CEO of the Migraine Heroes App and host of the Migraine Heroes Podcast. With a background in neuroscience training from HarvardX and a Harvard Business School education, Diane blends Eastern medicine, engineering, and modern science to help women reduce migraines by addressing root causes.
