Migraine Freedom: Your way

Have you ever left a doctor's office with “normal” test results in hand… but feeling anything but normal? If your body's been screaming at you while your labs whisper “you're fine,” this episode is a must-listen.  This week, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most frustrating experiences migraine sufferers face: being dismissed because inflammation markers didn't flag red. We're diving deep into the world of inflammation testing; what it actually shows, what it misses, and why low-grade inflammation (the kind that often slips under the radar) can still wreak havoc on your health. Especially if you're dealing with chronic migraines, mystery symptoms, or that gut feeling that something's just not right... even if no one else sees it. You'll walk away from this episode understanding why your tests might not reflect your reality and how to start listening to your body instead of chasing elusive answers in your labs. Tune in to finally feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward real healing. In this episode, you'll hear: Why “normal” inflammation test results don't always tell the whole story,  and how they often miss low-grade inflammation that can drive chronic migraines. The surprising truth about how things like stress, supplements, or even a good day can skew inflammation test results. The six foundational areas of the Migraine Freedom™ Protocol that help reduce inflammation without relying on lab work alone. Why generalized health advice can backfire,  and how personalized, aligned lifestyle shifts lead to real change. What FFMM® member Nancy's 30+ year migraine journey reveals about symptom patterns, testing gaps, and the power of listening to your body.   Resources: And if you're ready for deeper support… the Freedom From Migraines Method® Membership is your next step.

Welcome to today's Success Spotlight episode of Migraine Freedom™ Your Way, where you get a break from me talking to hear from women like you who have overcome the challenges of migraines.  This week, we're diving into Beth's story—a science teacher, a lifelong learner, and someone who knows firsthand what it's like to battle chronic migraines. Beth has been teaching science for 28+ years, but despite her sharp understanding of biology, she faced a migraine struggle that seemed impossible to overcome.  Like many women in perimenopause—where the average woman is juggling seven medications—Beth found herself caught in the cycle of prescriptions, monthly injections, Botox treatments, and endless neurologist visits. At one point, her migraines had reached a staggering 22 days per month. After enduring a grueling 17-day migraine earlier this year, Beth knew something had to change. That's when she turned to the Freedom From Migraines Method® program.  At first, she hesitated because she had already spent so much on treatments that hadn't worked. But as a biology teacher, when we started talking about inflammation and the sodium potassium pump, topics she covers in her AP Bio class,  Beth immediately connected with the science behind the program, which offered a perspective she hadn't heard before. Today, Beth has found her Migraine Freedom™ from 22+ migraines a month down to just 2 migraines a month, even while navigating massive life stress. Not only do her migraines occur less frequently, but when they do, they're shorter and less intense, lasting only a few hours instead of days. Best of all? She's now off all migraine medications—a huge accomplishment for someone who hated taking pills in the first place. Beth's story is an inspiring reminder that even when you feel like you've tried everything, there's still hope.  Stick around as Beth shares her journey, her turning point, and her results in her own words. Whether you're curious about the science behind the program or just looking for inspiration, this is an episode you don't want to miss.   In this episode, you'll hear: Beth's breaking point: a 17-day migraine that wouldn't let up Why traditional treatments (Botox, injections, prescriptions) weren't enough to heal her pain The science-based shift that finally made things click for migraine-free days Beth's exact results: 2 migraines a month, lasting just 3–4 hours, with no meds How  Freedom From Migraines Method® helped her feel calm, confident, and in control of her health (and life!) again   Resources: Ready to take the next step toward migraine relief that actually lasts?  Join the free Women's Migraine Freedom™ Facebook group for support, education, and community from women who get it.

If you've ever looked at your migraine meds and thought, “Is this really the best I can do?”. . . Then this week's podcast episode is for you.

Have you started to believe that chronic migraine pain and those debilitating symptoms are just something you have to live with? Even if you've tried everything to numb the pain—this might change your mind. After countless treatments, late-night Google searches, and advice from fellow migraine sufferers, it's beyond frustrating to still wake up hurting. So why aren't the meds, Botox injections, chiropractic visits, or dietary changes actually working? Until you address the internal factors behind your recurring migraines, the pain will keep coming back.

Pushing through your migraine pain isn't always the badge of honor we think it is.  When it comes to chronic conditions like migraines, trying to simply 'tough it out' using management tools like medications can have real downsides and lasting health implications.  So why do we, as women, tend to put our pain on the back burner when migraines strike? We know life goes on. The kids still have practice, laundry still needs to be done, and errands won't run themselves. But what if I told you that pushing through your pain is actually holding you back from living the life you deserve?

Ever feel like you're fighting migraines with both hands tied behind your back? You're attempting every remedy in the book, following all the "right" advice, yet those crushing headaches just won't let go. Here's the kicker: what if the very things you're doing to help are actually making things worse? What if those seemingly harmless habits and well-meaning approaches are actually fueling your inflammation and keeping you trapped in an endless cycle of pain? This week, we're diving deep into a migraine myth – a "truth" about genetics that you've likely accepted (I know I sure did!).  What I'm uncovering might just be the missing puzzle piece you've been searching for. Are you ready to shake up your beliefs about migraines – in the best way possible? This episode is for you! In this episode, you'll hear: Why your genetics don't lock you into a lifetime of migraines. Discover why you have more control than you think. How triggers like stress, diet, and sleep act as fuel, turning a genetic "spark" into a migraine fire.  Why single changes often fail and how combining multiple strategies (diet, sleep, stress management, etc.) creates lasting relief. How a personalized approach will fast-track your migraine healing journey. Resources: Feeling like you've tried everything but still struggle with chronic migraines?

You pour your heart and soul into your classrooms, but what happens when a migraine threatens to sideline your passion and impact?  We get it. The juggling act of lesson plans and throbbing head pain is a unique challenge many of you face. This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into the real struggles of navigating the teaching profession with chronic migraines. We're not just talking tips! We're sharing a relatable story from a fellow educator, Kimberly, a special education teacher who knows firsthand the battle of surviving the school year with daily pain. In this episode, Kimberly shares her journey from feeling like she was just surviving each day to finding genuine relief and renewed passion for her career. She's opening up about the challenges, the frustrations, and most importantly, the turning point that helped her break free from the grip of debilitating migraines. If you've ever had to push through a lesson with a pounding head, felt the guilt of taking a sick day due to migraine, or wondered if true relief was even possible while balancing the demands of teaching, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU. In this episode, you'll hear: The common and ineffective advice Kimberly received for migraine management before joining the Migraine Freedom™  program – you'll probably relate to this, too. How Kimberly went from suffering 24/7 to having 1-2 monthly minor pain days – and is now free from medication! How her career in teaching almost (literally) killed her, but she used her stubbornness to persevere.  How to move through your resistance/objections about getting support to finally find REAL, life-long relief.  Resources: Get powerful strategies and lifelong migraine relief in just 90 minutes.

Are you a nurse, doctor, or professional in healthcare who has access to research, knowledge, and the very tools of conventional medicine yet still struggles with debilitating migraines? It can feel so discouraging when you understand the science and know the treatments but are trapped in a cycle of managing your pain, not ending it. Instead of living pain-free, you're chained to medications, Botox, injections – anything to get you through the day.  In this week's podcast episode, we're sharing the inspiring stories of four women in healthcare who broke free from this cycle using the holistic and personalized approach we teach in The Freedom From Migraines Method® (FFMM) Nicole, Christine, Susan, and Jaci all learned that true healing goes beyond symptom management and addresses the root causes of migraines.

How Christine, a dental hygienist, eradicated her perimenopause migraines with a safe, non-medical approach. Why Susan's professional passion for individualized care was the springboard she needed to pursue her own personalized migraine relief plan. The sustainable migraine solution that helped Jaci, a nurse practitioner, take back control of her life without prescription meds or Botox. How even women in healthcare struggle to find answers to their migraines – and why you're not alone in your search for relief!   If our episodes have been that ah-ha moment you needed or brought some comfort, we're thrilled to hear all about it!

Have you ever wondered if that spicy taco you regretted eating not only set your throat on fire but also had a hand in your migraine?  The gut and brain are in constant communication via nerves, hormones, and our immune system. Good gut health is essential for overall well-being. When something's off, like stress in the brain or troubles in the gut, this communication can be disrupted.  So, if you've got GERD, it might cause headaches and vice versa.  People with migraines often have more acid reflux than those without, and resolving acid problems can cut down on headaches for many. On this week's podcast episode, we're diving into the connection between your angry stomach and your throbbing head.   In this episode, you'll hear: The connection between your gut health and your brain Why your gut health directly affects your overall well-being Common GERD symptoms – and what's causing them The side effects of acid reflux medications The underlying cause of GERD and migraines and what you can do to heal them both    If our episodes have been that ah-ha moment you needed or brought some comfort, we're thrilled to hear all about it!   Here's the scoop: drop us a review with your thoughts, and tell us how a particular episode has impacted your health.     And here's where it gets exciting – you could win free access to the Migraine Freedom™ Community Membership!  We're giving away memberships to our top reviewers: 1st place lands a solid 3 months, 2nd place takes home 2 months, and 3rd place grabs a month of invaluable resources.

How often have migraines interfered with your plans?  Have you had to cancel story time with the grandkids? Miss out on a much-needed vacation with friends? Put intimacy with your partner on hold again? Skip a fun night at the movies or a delicious dinner out?  These are just some of the things migraines can steal – the ability to plan ahead, the joy of simple pleasures, and the connection with loved ones. It's not just the intense pain, is it?  It's the lost experiences, the missed opportunities, and the feeling that life is passing you by. It's the constant uncertainty and the fear of the next attack. It's the toll it takes on your relationships, your work, and your overall well-being. In this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing a simple and effective Mindful Migraine Breakthrough, where I talk more about this issue – confronting the true cost of migraines. In this episode, you'll hear: Why mindfulness matters if you want to achieve long-term relief. A powerful exercise from our Freedom From Migraines Method® program called "Confronting the Cost” that you can start doing today! My personal experience with migraines and irreplaceable missed moments. What you can do to stop sitting on the sidelines of your life and take control of the pain once and for all.   Connect with Debbie:  Instagram: https://urlgeni.us/instagram/migrainefree Women's Migraine Freedom Facebook Group: https://urlgeni.us/facebook/Womensmigrainefreedom LinkedIn: https://urlgeni.us/linkedin/debbiewaidl Website: https://debbiewaidl.com/   Disclaimer: The Migraine Freedom Your Way Podcast and information provided by Debbie Waidl and guests in this podcast is presented solely to provide helpful information, education, and entertainment on the subjects discussed.

Have you received a doctor-given diagnosis based on your migraine symptoms?  Your medical migraine label can be a helpful tool for communicating clearly and swiftly with professionals involved in your treatment plan.  However, identifying your specific symptoms and having a designated label doesn't change the result of healing your migraines. When it comes to effectively tackling migraines for the long haul, it's about addressing one thing that doesn't have to do with your diagnosis. In today's episode, I'm sharing why your label doesn't change the ultimate game plan in ending your migraines and what you actually need to do to achieve freedom from the pain.   Don't have an official migraine diagnosis? This episode is just as helpful for you, too!    In this episode, you'll hear: Why doctors give migraine labels (hint: it has less to do with you and more to do with insurance.) Why labels can be helpful, but they aren't the end-all when it comes to ditching them for good. The real game plan that will help you heal your migraines, whether you have a label or not! Resources: Do you want to dip your toes into our migraine freedom approach but aren't ready to jump into our 6-month coaching program?  A HUGE opportunity is coming your way that will give you access to the Freedom From Migraines Method without the major commitment.  Stay tuned to be the first to get the details when this brand-new, life-changing offer goes live on December 26th!

Coping with the relentless physical pain and symptoms of migraines is already a massive challenge, but the struggle doesn't end with physical distress. The emotional weight piles up from chronic suffering from migraines, too. After all, migraines can turn your life upside down and steal both everyday and precious moments from you. While it may be tempting to suppress those feelings, they often show up as a deep, personal sense of grief. In this week's episode, I discuss how migraines lead to emotional grief, how that grief manifests in your life, and what you can do to work through it.  In this episode, you'll hear: How the emotional grief of migraines shows up in different areas of your life Tips to manage your grief How your primitive brain affects the way you process grief The five stages of grief and how they apply to migraines Why the holidays are the prime time to practice mindfulness in relation to migraine grief Resources: Is the weather contributing to your migraines?

Do you rely on prescription medication to deal with debilitating migraines,  joint pain, brain fog, chronic constipation, gut issues, and dizziness … only to find short-term relief? For many, this has been a relentless cycle, accompanied by sleepless nights, anxiety, and depression. This reality paints a grim picture of life for those who have been tirelessly searching for a solution, only to be met with temporary fixes that barely scratch the surface of the underlying issue. Chronic inflammation.   If you don't believe this applies to you, I want you to think again.  Hormone imbalances, family genetics, past head or neck injuries, and complications from other health conditions all stem from chronic inflammation.  On today's podcast, I'm sharing my opportunity to connect with five members of the Freedom From Migraines Method who have experienced these struggles and have since triumphed over their health issues.   In this episode, you'll hear: The FFMM tools that helped these women not just battle their symptoms, but also address the root cause of their pain to end it. Why addressing the root causes of your migraines can unlock a life free from constant pain. How these women successfully managed to reduce their dependence on prescription and over-the-counter medications. Why ignoring your migraine symptoms – and the root cause of them –  is detrimental to the future of your health.

Many of the women who suffer from migraines and wind up in my world consider themselves to have a Type A personality.

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are going."  A simple observation, but the more you think about it, the more it hits home when you deal with chronic migraines.  After working with hundreds of women who suffer from constant head pain, I've come to realize one thing. There is a path everyone thinks they're switching to in hopes of finding relief, but it turns out they've stayed on the same road all along.  In today's episode, I share what it takes to change directions and begin living a life free from migraines with a happier, healthier outlook on the future.   In this episode, you'll hear: Treatment methods that hundreds of women have tried before switching paths to a long-term solution.

It can feel impossible to pinpoint your migraine triggers in the midst of hormones and busy schedules. As a busy mom who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, dealing with severe headaches is the last thing you want to put on your plate.  After you've seemingly tried every remedy in the book and nothing has worked, it might be your first instinct to say “yes!' when the doctor suggests HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy).

How many times have you left the doctor's office with a migraine prescription in your hands? Jumping to medication is usually the fastest way to find relief in our busy lives, but it's just a band-aid solution that doesn't last forever.

On today's podcast, we're joined by two amazing ladies who have followed the Migraine Freedom Protocol. They're sharing their recovery story,  including what they did to ditch 95% of their medications while finding migraine freedom.

Are migraines getting on your nerves? They quite literally could be—or they could be stemming from a condition called Occipital Neuralgia (ON). ON is caused by irritated or damaged occipital nerves, which run from the top of your spine, up your neck, and into your scalp. When you suffer from ON, you experience intense head pain that can be mistaken for migraines. In this episode, we're unraveling the truth about the occipital nerve so you can determine if your head pain is truly from migraines or if you have ON to blame.   In this episode, you'll hear: What the occipital nerve is, and where it causes pain The many symptoms of ON that often get mistaken for migraines How to tell the difference between ON and migraines Common ON triggers Why inflammation is the #1 cause of head pain associated with ON and migraines How to treat ON Last week, our discussion focused on the trigeminal nerve.

Did you know that humans have the ability to detect over 1 trillion odors, yet our individual reactions to them can vary dramatically? Migraine sufferers can be more sensitive to things in their environment, such as light, sound, and even odors. This is called Osmophobia, or a heightened sensitivity or aversion to certain smells.
