On this episode of the Newson Health Menopause Society Podcast, host Lauren Redfern is joined by Headache Specialist at the National Migraine Centre, Dr Katy Munro. Having developed migraine in her 40s around the time of the perimenopause, Katy became involved with the National Migraine Centre, first as a patient and then subsequently, as a doctor. Katy now works as a GP and Headache Specialist at the National Migraine Centre. She helps patients find symptom relief by developing holistic treatment programmes in order to address the multiple factors that may be implicating migraine attacks. Dispelling stigma around migraine as simply a ‘bad headache', Katy explains the complex ways in which migraine can be linked to a genetic predisposition and worsened by factors such as fluctuating hormone levels. Katy also highlights that migraine should not be thought of as a ‘symptom' but rather, a condition itself. Helping to outline current effective treatment options, Katy breaks down a complicated and at times elusive condition accessibly. Katy has recently written a book called ‘Managing Your Migraine' which is available to buy, you can get your copy here.

Did you know 1 in 7 people will suffer with migraines which may become more frequent in menopause? Our Book Collective discuss the new book, ‘Unbound' by Tarana Burke, and why it's such a relevant book in today's culture. The Foodie Collective get underway with their new month of food, especially for menopause during this month and we will catch up with the WI, the 1.6 challenge for Women's Aid, sea swimming, and the weather is turning a tad stormy!

She is a headache specialist and also a migraine sufferer, she is a fellow podcaster and author of a best-selling book, ‘Managing Your Migraine'. Her approach is holistic and as such she has a wide knowledge of therapies and medications that can help a headache. We learn about the difference between the types of headaches and why fluctuations in the body, especially in peri menopause with oestrogen levels dropping cause headaches and migraines. The information and advice given by Dr Katy is rich and relevant for any person who sufferers with headaches, migraines and cluster headaches. Did you know a migraine with aura is usually triggered by high levels of oestrogen? No neither did we!   And Dr Katy informs us on the medications available through your GP.   The new book for the Collective is ‘Unbound' by Tarana Burke. Tarana is the founder of the #metoo movement before the hashtag. She is fuelled by the commitment to combat sexual violence against women, especially marginalised people in society. Tarana talks of empowerment through empathy and we begin to read her book starting by reading the prologue and including the chapter Acts of Contrition.   The Foodie Collective gets stuck into this month's Menopause food and look at the Mediterranean diet and how this can benefit women during menopause and of course Jinty cooked this delicious plate of goodness…….   The WI Sea swimming for Women's Aid 1.6 challenge is coming to an end and the weather has definitely changed!

Dr Katy Munro was a GP partner in a Hertfordshire practice for many years and developed migraine in her 40s, around the time of her own perimenopause. This led to an interest in migraine and her involvement with the National Migraine Centre, first as a patient and then as a doctor.  Katy now works as a GP Headache Specialist at the National Migraine Centre, a charity that raises awareness on migraine, shares information and advises how to manage it. In this podcast episode, she chats to Louise about what migraine is, dispels myths, and explains why migraine is not just simply a ‘bad headache'. The experts discuss the role of estrogen in migraine, other possible triggers, and ways to help minimise the onset, severity and frequency of migraine. This hugely useful conversation is a must-listen if you or a loved one experiences migraine.  Katy has recently written a book on migraine, ‘Managing Your Migraine', and it is available to buy now.  Katy's 3 reasons to buy her book:  Educate yourself on migraine and take control of it.  There is hope, no matter what you've already tried there will be something else – you're not at the end of the line.  Migraine is genetic. Think about not just who you got it from, but who you'll pass it on to. We need to learn more about how to help children who go on to develop migraine and there's a chapter on this in my book.  National Migraine Centre - www.nationalmigrainecentre.org.uk  ‘Managing Your Migraine', by Dr Katy Munro, is published by Penguin Life Experts and is out now.
