But they’re not random, and they’re not just genetic. Migraines are a signal that something deeper is out of balance in your body and if you only treat the symptoms, you miss the real opportunity to prevent them. In this episode, I break down what’s really driving migraines, including: • The root causes most people miss—from inflammation and blood sugar swings to hormones, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies • Why migraines are a full-body neurological event, not just a head issue, and what that means for treatment • How your cycle, stress levels, and nervous system can lower your threshold and make migraines more likely • A functional medicine approach to prevention—simple shifts in diet, lifestyle, and nutrients that can reduce frequency and severity Migraines don’t come out of nowhere—they happen when your body hits a threshold. When you lower the load and support your biology, you don’t just manage migraines—you can actually start to prevent them.
