You're not alone, and you're not broken. Deep dives into the science behind migraine, from food and hormones to sleep, stress, and the unexpected triggers few people talk about. Every topic holds a tension: is ginger a trigger or a remedy? Is stress the cause or the symptom? What does perimenopause actually change? There's rarely a simple answer, so each episode looks at the knowledge and science from different angles, East and West, and turns it into practical advice rooted in context. Migraine Heroes started when Diane Ducarme began helping her sister, then friends, then increasingly more people living with migraine. That work became a method, now used by over 3,000 people, to identify your own unique patterns and find real solutions. This podcast is where that thinking happens out loud. Curious what your own starting pattern looks like?

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.
