That moment when the world tilts, spins, or sways — even though you're perfectly still — can feel terrifying. Vertigo doesn't just make you dizzy; it shakes your sense of safety and control. But what if these sensations weren't random at all? What if they were your brain's way of asking for balance?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme unpacks the intricate link between vertigo and migraine — and reveals what your body is trying to communicate when the ground feels unsteady. Blending modern neuroscience with the grounding principles of Eastern medicine, you'll learn how to find stillness inside the spin.You'll discover:

We're talking about supplements for migraine—there are a lot of different ones! And just because something works for someone else doesn't necessarily mean it will also work for you. Sometimes these supplements don't work for people at all. And other times they work really well—even better than some medications. As with all things migraine management, it's very person dependent.  In this episode, we'll dig into: Benefits of the most common supplements like magnesium What coenzymes do that can help with migraine management Why you need to consult with your doctor before adding in new supplements Side effects you may notice with supplements (like your pee turning neon orange) If you should get your levels checked before supplementing Which spices can be helpful for migraine Which supplements can be really supportive for the trigeminal nerve Labels to look for on supplements to help you find good ones Which supplements to try first vs leave for a little later To learn even more about supplements for vestibular migraine treatment, join us in Vestibular Group Fit (use code GROUNDED at checkout)!  Your membership includes 30% off all your supplements, which generally pays for the majority—if not the entire—cost of your VGF subscription.

Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada steer an Abbey-less episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches through a packed pre-holiday whirlwind. The ladies unveil their upcoming “holiday extravaganza” lineup featuring Shipwreck, the Rise Attire Base Queen, Michelle from Tamarack Garden, Annie from Soft Disclosure, and the Tattooed Teacher. They celebrate the start of the season with sponsor spotlights, hair-care confessions, and plans for a giant all-girls OnlyLands panel between Christmas and New Year's. Jackie announces the winners of the GART scavenger hunt, the crew recaps the weekend's karaoke moments and panel highlights, and Ashe dreams up a mock grand-jury event for the next GART, complete with jury selection chaos. Christy jumps into the idiom of the week (“take the high road”) and a history segment featuring Ruby Bridges and the wild life of investigative legend Nellie Bly. Jackie closes out with a practical migraine-survival guide for the holidays, hydration hacks, magnesium, essential oils, pressure points, and more, while Soft Disclosure makes an unofficial cameo through jokes, ad reads, and skincare worship. A cozy, chaotic, funny, and full-hearted episode that embodies the AMS sisterhood.

Headaches and migraine are often dismissed as minor annoyances, but for millions of people, they are debilitating conditions that affect every aspect of life. In this episode of The Happier Life Project, Gabby Sanderson sits down with Dr Katy Munro, Senior Headache Specialist at the National Migraine Centre, to explore the complex world of headaches and migraine. Dr Munro explains what headaches and migraine really are, how they differ, and why migraine is far more than just a severe headache. She sheds light on the multiple symptoms of migraine, the stigma that often surrounds it, and the challenges sufferers face in daily life. The conversation then dives into the connection between migraine and mental health, exploring why conditions such as anxiety and depression are common among those living with migraine. Gabby and Dr Munro discuss practical strategies for managing migraine, including identifying triggers, making lifestyle adjustments around sleep, diet, and stress, and seeking appropriate medical care. Dr Munro emphasizes how education and awareness, for both patients and healthcare providers, can transform the experience of living with migraine and improve quality of life. She also shares how the National Migraine Centre offers support, resources, and consultations for migraine sufferers. Dr Munro was an NHS GP and now works as Senior Headache Specialist at the National Migraine Centre, a charity offering consultations on a prepay or voluntary donation basis. She co-founded and hosts the Heads Up podcast and is the author of Managing Your Migraine (Penguin Life Expert Series). A migraine sufferer herself, Dr Munro is passionate about raising awareness and improving care for those living with this debilitating condition.

The holidays are meant to feel joyful — but for so many women living with migraines, they're often the opposite. The noise, the expectations, the schedule changes, the pressure to make everything "perfect"… it all adds up. And before the day even begins, that familiar ache starts building behind your eyes. In this episode, I walk you through why the holidays hit so hard — and how you can make small, strategic shifts that protect your energy, calm your inflammation network, and help you feel present again. I also share the powerful stories of women in our Migraine Freedom™ community who transformed their holidays by honoring their bodies instead of pushing through. Their stories are proof of what's possible when you stop surviving the holidays and start supporting your healing. In this episode, you'll hear: Why holiday stress, noise, and routines can ignite your migraine network How Sue simplified her way to migraine freedom — starting with tiny decisions Sheri's shift from fluorescent-lit shopping to intentional, energy-saving gifting Why eating for peace—not perfection—creates more joy and fewer flare-ups The boundary reminders you need for family gatherings How to choose calm, connection, and contentment this season Resources & Links Ready to see what's working for real women finding migraine freedom?

Living with migraine can affect every part of your professional life — from productivity and job performance to long-term career goals. In this episode of Spotlight on Migraine, host Molly O'Brien speaks with clinical psychologist and researcher Dr. Dawn Buse to explore how migraine can impact work, identity, and ambition. Together, they discuss when and how to disclose migraine in the workplace, what accommodations may help you keep your job, and how to navigate the complex emotions that arise when migraine forces a change in your career path. This conversation goes beyond managing attacks and focuses on communication, self-advocacy, emotional resilience, and redefining success while living with migraine.

In this illuminating episode of Migraine Heroes, hosted by Diane Ducarme sits down with Dr. Kat Bodden, a naturopathic doctor from Portland, Oregon, who specializes in environmental medicine and toxin-related illness. Together, they explore how environmental toxins—from household products, plastics, mold, and air pollution—can contribute to migraines and other chronic symptoms.Dr. Kat explains that while we live in a world saturated with chemicals, we still hold the power to create safer, healthier spaces. Using her “body as a bucket” analogy, she describes how toxins accumulate over time—eventually overflowing into symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and migraine pain. Her approach focuses on two empowering strategies: 1️⃣ Stop adding toxins: Reduce exposure at home. 2️⃣ Detoxify naturally: Support the body through gentle daily habits and stress reduction.

In part one of this two-part series, Dr. Bradley Ong discusses the prodrome phase of migraine and how it represents the earliest stage of the attack.  Show citation:  Lipton RB, Stokes J, Evans CJ, et al.

In this Faces of Digital Health episode Dr. David Dodick, Chief Science and Medical Officer at the Atria Health Institute and Co-Chair of the Atria Research Institute talks about brain health, dementia prevention, the rapidly evolving science of Alzheimer's, and how digital tools and AI are transforming care. We also cover why women face higher Alzheimer's risk, the microvasculature's role in cognition, and the biggest leap in migraine treatment: CGRP-targeting therapies. A must-watch if you're curious about prevention, personalized risk, and which consumer tech is actually useful today. Dr. David Dodick trained at the Mayo Clinic and served on the faculty there for more than three decades. At the Mayo Clinic, he founded the Neurology Residency Program, the Headache Fellowship Program, the Sports Neurology and Concussion Program, the Migraine and Headache Program, and co-founded the Vascular Neurology/Stroke Program. What you'll learn: 1. How much dementia is realistically preventable—and how to lower your risk 2. Why amyloid ≠ destiny, and what “biological vs. clinical” Alzheimer's means 3. The role of sleep, hearing, blood pressure, metabolic health, and social connection 4. Smart wearables that matter (AFib, BP, CGM) and what's just hype 5. How AI “diagnostic orchestrators” could supercharge clinicians and empower patients 6. Migraine red flags (when to go to the ER) and the CGRP revolution in treatment

You're on multiple preventatives. Brain fog, hair loss, exhausted all the time. You feel "stable" but not good. You tell your neurologist you want to come off one. They say: "Cut it in half for a week, quarter it for another week, stop in two weeks." You follow their advice. Two weeks later? Massive migraine flare that lasts five days. You're back in their office. They shrug: "Well, what did you expect? I guess you need the medication." So you think: I guess I'm stuck on this forever. Here's the truth: Nobody has a Topamax deficiency. You weren't born needing it. Dr. Leslie has walked hundreds of clients through weaning off Topamax, propranolol, gabapentin, nortriptyline, even antipsychotics and anti-seizure meds. If you try to come off preventatives while still getting 10 migraines a month, it won't go well, even with a slow wean. Dr. Leslie breaks down the two critical factors for successfully coming off preventatives: timing (your health must be restored first so migraine frequency drops significantly) and the correct wean-off approach (not your neurologist's rushed 2-week plan).

In this episode of From Pain to Possibility, I dive into decoding migraines—not as random or mysterious attacks, but as patterns that can be understood, softened, and shifted. I share how awareness, calm, and curiosity can help you see the early signs of pain before it takes over. Through real stories from clients and graduates, you'll hear how moving from force to awareness changes everything. Migraines stop feeling unpredictable and start becoming information the body is trying to share. I also guide you through a gentle awareness practice to help you sense tension, soften around discomfort, and reconnect with your breath. You'll learn that when the nervous system feels safe, the body reorganizes from protection to support—and that's when lasting change begins.

What if one side of your body suddenly stopped moving — and your doctor said, “It's a migraine”?Hemiplegic migraines are rare, disorienting, and often confused with strokes. They challenge everything you think you know about how your brain, body, and energy connect.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, hosted by Diane Ducarme, we explore the science and the story behind this rare form of migraine — one that blurs the line between neurology and mystery. Together, we look at how the body can temporarily lose its flow, and how to gently help it find its rhythm again.In this episode, you'll learn:

Every single vestibular disorder has the exact same set of symptoms, so that makes it challenging to know what you're dealing with and what to do about it. Today we're talking specifically about the differences between vestibular migraine and Meniere's disease. Quick example: while Meniere's disease and vestibular migraine can both cause room spinning vertigo, how they look in practice is wildly different.  Tune in to learn how to spot the differences between the two, which disorder is more rare, and what treatment options are available for Meniere's disease and vestibular migraine. In this episode, we'll dig into: How Meniere's disease is different from vestibular migraine The diagnostic criteria for Meniere's disease and VM What causes Meniere's disease vs vestibular migraine Symptoms of Meniere's disease and VM Why Meniere's disease is so overdiagnosed If you can have Meniere's disease and vestibular migraine How to treat Meniere's disease vs vestibular migraine What supplements can help if you have Meniere's disease Whether you have Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine, or both, the truth is that they are incredibly disruptive to your life. And while both can be frustrating diagnoses to treat—they are both treatable. Having the right treatment plan and healthcare providers will make a big difference in your life.

Feeling safe in movements and exercises (like pilates or yoga) can seem like a tall order when you have vestibular migraine or dizziness. But it's not hopeless!

The story of one of my clients, Cheryl, who lived with migraines for over 50 years and finally found freedom. Why it's never too late to begin your healing journey, no matter how long you've been struggling. You can't truly stop migraines fast until you understand what's causing them in the first place.

Dr. Leslie breaks down a $100+ "miracle migraine supplement" that appeared in her Facebook feed, and reveals why it probably won't solve your migraines. This new product contains ketones and ribose sugar, claiming these are breakthrough ingredients your brain needs. But Dr. Leslie explains why the science behind these claims is misleading, and sometimes flat-out wrong. First, the website claims your brain prefers ketones as fuel. That's false. Your brain prefers glucose. Ketones are an emergency backup when you're fasting or starving. The ketogenic diet (rebranded from the 1980s Atkins diet) forces your body into a famine state, which can burn out your adrenals and disrupt hormones, especially for women. Second, the product includes ribose sugar as a "shortcut" for cellular energy production. But your body already converts glucose to ribose naturally. This is kindergarten-level biochemistry for your cells. Supplementing what your body should make on its own creates "lazy organs" that stop doing their job. Dr. Leslie asks the critical question: If you're so nutrient-deficient that you need a $4-per-day powder, why can't you break down and absorb nutrients from actual food? The answer reveals the real problem, and it's not a missing supplement. If you're ready to stop chasing miracle supplements and address why your body can't function the way it's designed to, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations to help you identify what's actually blocking your healing.

Dr. Leslie answers a question from her Facebook group: "Why do I get a horrible migraine every time I try to eat healthier?" If you've ever felt trapped between knowing you should change your diet and your body punishing you when you try, this episode is for you. Dr. Leslie explains why abrupt dietary changes, - yes, even healthy ones - can trigger debilitating migraines. She breaks down how your digestive system becomes acclimated to your current routine, even if that routine is fast food and survival mode. When you suddenly switch from a Big Mac to chicken and broccoli, your body goes into shock. Your gallbladder prepared for fat that isn't coming. Your pancreas expected glucose that never arrived. Your stomach doesn't have enough acid for all that protein. The result? A three-day migraine that makes you give up on healing entirely. Dr. Leslie reveals why this isn't a detox reaction or a sign that healthy food doesn't work for you, it's simply your hypersensitive system responding to change. She explains how to make gradual shifts that support your digestive function instead of overwhelming it. If you've been stuck in the cycle of wanting to heal but feeling worse every time you try, and you'd like guidance on making changes your body can actually handle, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

When pain drags you down and sadness lingers—do you ever wonder which came first? Are you feeling depressed because of your migraines, or are migraines making you feel depressed?In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, we explore one of the most misunderstood and deeply intertwined relationships in chronic illness: the link between depression and migraine. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has helped hundreds of migraine heroes reconnect with their bodies and emotions, this episode blends Western neuroscience with Eastern medicine to reveal how pain and mood are not separate—but mirror each other at the deepest level.You'll discover:✨ Why depression and migraines are genetically connected — and how shared biology wires this emotional-pain loop✨ The three biological pathways that link the two — serotonin, inflammation, and stress response✨ What Eastern medicine teaches about transforming inherited tendencies (Jing, Prakruti) through lifestyle and rhythm✨ Simple daily steps to break the cycle — by calming your nervous system and nourishing both brain and moodIf you've ever felt like your migraines are stealing your light — and your sadness is making your pain worse — this episode will help you understand that they come from the same root.You are not broken; your brain is just asking for balance.And once you begin to address one, the other starts to heal too.References:Shared Genetic Roots of Migraine and Depression: A 2016 study in Twin Research and Human Genetics revealed that migraine and depression share overlapping genetic factors, suggesting that emotional pain and physical pain stem from the same biological foundation. Read the full study here.Inflammation and Mood Disorders: A 2019 article in Frontiers in Immunology showed that chronic inflammation can disrupt serotonin signaling, fueling both migraine attacks and depressive symptoms through shared immune pathways.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores why some patients fail to find lasting relief from headaches and migraines—even when they have access to the right treatment. Drawing from years of clinical experience, he explains how recovery often depends less on quick fixes and more on mindset, consistency, and trust in the healing process.Dr. Taves highlights three major barriers that can keep patients from improving:A short-term mindset — expecting immediate results instead of long-term progress.A passive approach — wanting a provider to “fix” the problem without making lifestyle changes.Excessive skepticism — being too critical to fully engage in the treatment process.He compares true healing to building healthy habits—like brushing and flossing your teeth or exercising over time. Success, he says, comes from patience, persistence, and a willingness to take ownership of your health.This episode helps listeners recognize the traits of a good candidate for migraine treatment and how to overcome the habits and attitudes that may be holding them back.Novera: Headache Center

Sometimes what hurts most isn't the migraine itself—it's living in a world that doesn't understand it and isn't built to support it. While visible disabilities often receive accommodations, migraine remains largely invisible—leaving millions to navigate environments that dismiss, overlook, or even worsen their pain.This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast explores the urgent need for advocacy in migraine care, blending personal storytelling with practical solutions. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has guided hundreds of women in reshaping their healing journeys, we look at how resilience and community can rewrite the narrative of living with this invisible disability.You'll discover:

Ever feel irritable, agitated, or restless? Or, on the flip side, exhausted, drained, or shut down? These symptoms may be signs your nervous system is out of balance and they're more connected to migraine, dizziness, and overall well-being than you might think. In this episode of Spotlight on Migraine, clinical health psychologist Dr. Emily Kostelnik explains what nervous system dysregulation is, how it impacts migraine and dizziness, practical strategies to help regulate your system, and when it might be time to seek professional support.  For more ways to view, visit: https://www.migrainedisorders.org/podcast/s7ep6-nervous-system-regulation/  *The contents of this podcast are intended for general informational purposes only and do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Tried everything for migraines - meds, diets, gadgets - but still struggling? You're not alone. Most women I work with feel like they've “done it all” when it comes to their migraines. From medications and Botox to elimination diets and gadgets, maybe you've found a little relief here and there, but nothing that truly lasts. It's not that you're not trying hard enough. It's that you've never had all three parts of your inflammation network addressed at the same time. That's the missing piece. In this episode, I'll walk you through my 3-step process for calming your inflammation network, decoding your genetics, and finally achieving lasting migraine freedom. What the inflammation network really is, and how it keeps your body stuck in survival mode. How to uncover the Six Keys of inflammation (electrolytes, nutrition, mindset, toxicity, circadian rhythm, movement). The hidden chronic drivers, like autoimmune issues, gut imbalances, hidden allergies, or medication overuse headaches, that keep your system in overdrive. How decoding your genetics reveals the way your body processes nutrients, balances hormones, and clears toxins. Why you may have tried one or two pieces of this puzzle before, but never had all three areas working together. Migraines don't persist because you're doing something wrong. They persist because you've only been tackling one slice of the puzzle. When we calm all three areas: Inducers, Chronic Drivers, and Genetics, the system quiets down.  And when the system quiets down? Migraines lose their grip.   Resources & Links Join me for a free live training: Why Every Pill, Diet, and Gadget Stops Working—And The #1 Root Cause No One Told You About

When migraine enters your life, it doesn't just affect your body—it changes the way you love, connect, and show up in relationships. Missed dates, canceled plans, intimacy lost to pain and guilt… sometimes the hardest question becomes: Am I still lovable when I can't give my best?This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast explores the tender intersection of love and illness. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has guided hundreds of women to reframe their migraine stories, we weave science, lived experience, and Eastern wisdom to uncover how connection can survive—even deepen—in the presence of chronic pain.You'll discover:

Sometimes the hardest part of migraine isn't the pain itself—it's the fear of when the next attack will strike. The constant scanning for symptoms, the dread of canceling plans, the weight of anxiety that lingers even on pain-free days.This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast dives into the cycle of anticipatory anxiety and migraine. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has guided hundreds of women toward calmer, steadier lives, we explore how fear wires itself into the migraine brain—and how to break free.You'll discover:

We spend so much time analyzing migraine symptoms — tracking every twinge, researching why pain moves from one side of the head to the other, trying another pill, another article, another “fix.” But have you ever stopped to look at the emotional toll migraines are taking on your life? In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden cost of migraines: the anxiety, depression, numbness, anger, and skepticism that weigh you down just as much as the pain itself. I'll walk you through: Why it's natural to obsess over pain — and why that obsession keeps you stuck How the constant stress of “fight or flight” fuels chronic inflammation (and migraines) The real stories of women who thought mindfulness “wasn't their jam” — and what shifted for them Why society's push-through mentality is making you sicker, not stronger How emotional health connects directly to sleep, energy, and even your physical pain Migraines don't just live in your head — they live in your whole body. And until you address the emotional exhaustion, you'll keep fighting an uphill battle. Inside the Freedom From Migraines Method®, we don't skip this step. With a mindfulness coach and a dedicated NeuroRewire course, you'll finally have the tools to calm your stress response and lower the inflammation driving your pain.   Resources & Links Learn more about the Freedom From Migraines Method® → Click here!

Drs. Hindiyeh and Hutchinson review new FDA-issued safety warnings for Raynaud's phenomenon and hypertension in CGRP-based migraine treatment. They explore the impact of this label update and share practical strategies for patient management.

People ask me all the time, “Does Botox work for vestibular migraine?”  Another common question people ask is, “Is it going to get rid of my dizziness?” That question is missing the point. When you're treating vestibular migraine, you're not treating the dizziness. Does Botox work for VM? Yes, but not because you're treating the dizziness. In this episode, you'll hear me synthesize a study that dove into the impact of Botox on vestibular migraine—how it works, who it works for, and some important things to know if you'd like to explore this treatment for yourself. In this episode, we'll dig into: What is Botox for and not to be used for How Botox treats vestibular migraine Where the Botox injections happen for vestibular migraine If insurance covers Botox for vestibular migraine How many Botox treatments it takes to see any change Important note if you have EDS and VM and are interested in Botox If you think Botox is just freezing the muscles and therefore vestibular migraine goes away—no.

If you've tried everything for migraines—medications, diets, massages—yet nothing seems to change, you're not imagining it. That cycle of trial-and-error is exactly what keeps so many women stuck. In this episode, I'm sharing Lisa's story. Her migraines became chronic almost every day during perimenopause, leaving her exhausted and frustrated. But when she found the Freedom From Migraines Method®, everything shifted. By addressing the root causes—chronic inflammation and a dysregulated nervous system—Lisa broke free from daily pain and reclaimed her life. If you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, Lisa's story will show you what's possible when you move beyond symptom-chasing and start lowering your migraine threshold. In this episode, you'll learn: Why migraines aren't caused by one thing, but by many small stressors that push you past your threshold How calming your nervous system and reducing hidden triggers lowers daily pain The simple steps Lisa used to stop living with chronic migraines and reclaim her energy Why structure and support matter more than trial-and-error fixes How you can start mapping out your own migraine threshold today Your migraines don't define you—and with the right approach, freedom is closer than you think.   Resources:  Free Inflammation Guide What if your migraines are really your body's alarm system stuck on repeat?

In this episode, editor in chief Joseph E. Safdieh, MD, FAAN, highlights articles about the relationship between income, “food deserts,” and stroke risk; why staying active may reduce cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's disease; and how initiating rimegepant for migraine could help reduce opioid and butalbital use. 

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Amaal Starling discuss the prevalence and impact of migraines, affecting approximately 1 billion people worldwide. Dr. Starling highlights the genetic and hormonal factors and discusses the different subtypes of migraines. They delve into the importance of talking to your doctor or seeing a headache specialist if you are experiencing headaches and migraines, as well as the economic burden of migraines in the US. Finally, they discuss exciting new treatment options, ones that have been developed over the last decade.    Key Takeaways: There is a lot of stigma around people with migraines. Women with migraines and pain conditions are disproportionately stigmatized.  1 in 5 women, 1 in 11 children, and 1 in 16 men are affected by migraines - an average of 1 in 7 worldwide.  Different people will experience migraines and migraine treatment differently. They all also have different triggers, though some are more common, such as red wine, nitrates, and caffeine. Many new migraine treatment options are not covered, either immediately or at all, by insurance providers. Colic in infants appears to be associated with increased risk of adult migraine.   "There is still a lot to learn about the genetics of migraines. Genetics is a strong factor in who is going to have migraines versus not, but there are also a lot of other external and internal factors." —  Dr. Amaal Starling   Episode References:  American Migraine Foundation: https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/    Connect with Dr. Amaal Starling: Professional Bio: https://www.mayo.edu/research/faculty/starling-amaal-j-m-d/bio-20147052  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/amaal-starling-md-fahs-faan-085b58a3    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
