Podcasts about Migraine

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). Watch the full episode to learn exactly how to set yourself up for success.

Vestibular physical therapists Abbie Ross, PT, DPT, NCS, and Danielle Tolman, PT, DPT, sit down with Rob Landel, PT, DPT, FAPTA, to unpack cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) — what it is and isn't, how to tell neck-driven dizziness apart from inner ear causes, and the clinical tools that actually make a difference.They dive into the head–neck differentiation test, cervical joint position error (JPE) testing with a laser, and why CGD rarely causes vertigo or spinning. You'll also hear how concussion, whiplash, BPPV, and migraine can overlap with neck-related dizziness — plus practical insights on manual traction, cervical strength and endurance training, “pain-first” strategies, and when a short-term collar might help (despite its bad reputation).Guest: Dr. Rob Landel Website: skillworks.bizEmail: rlandel@me.com Hosted by:

When life keeps demanding more and you keep saying yes, your body eventually says no — often through pain.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores how unspoken emotions, blurred boundaries, and chronic overextension can turn into physical symptoms. Burnout doesn't just drain your energy — it reshapes how your brain and nervous system handle stress, making migraines harder to escape.You'll discover:

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.

Have you ever felt like the room is spinning, even though you're perfectly still? That sudden, surreal dizziness can be more than unsettling—it might be a sign your migraines are doing more than causing pain.And get grounded in the truth behind dizzy migraines.For many migraine warriors, dizziness isn't just a side symptom—it's a life-disrupting force. In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, hosted by Diane Ducarme, we untangle why migraines can throw off your balance, confuse your diagnosis, and make you feel like you're losing control—both physically and emotionally.In this episode you'll learn to:

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! Many people think that group is just about strength training or doing super intense workouts that they could “never do,” but that's not the case. Inside Vestibular Group Fit, we offer lots of different classes! Pilates and yoga are two of them. In this episode, Dr. Madison interviews VGFit's in-house yoga and pilates instructor, Candy Price.  In Candy's previous episode on the podcast, the conversation was focused on yoga (definitely go listen to that one!). This time around, the conversation explored all things pilates and dizziness disorders.  In this episode, we'll dig into: The difference between reformer and mat pilates The biggest benefit of moving the solar plexus The best movement for dizziness and vestibular disorders The importance of postural alignment with vestibular disorders How Candy cues during classes to help you scale the exercise How to navigate the fear of working out and moving your body again What to do if you “can't” do spinal flexion A major reframe for when you're feeling anxious How frequently you need to do pilates for it to be effective Why you should never skip the cool down Confidence and trust in your body is something that people with dizziness disorders feel like they lose or have a hard time building back up. Exercising in a way that you enjoy is the #1 way that you can do that.  If you're struggling with your vestibular disorder—whether it's a newer diagnosis or you've been looking for solutions for years—VGFit is here for you. We've curated the best instructors, class styles, and so much more to get back to feeling good and secure in your body.

When the pain hits, all you want is relief… right now. While there are ways to reduce the severity or duration of a migraine once it starts, the real key is preventing it from reaching that point in the first place. In this episode, I'm walking you through three important steps to help you better understand how to manage migraines in the moment and, more importantly, how to stop needing to manage them altogether. You'll learn how to recognize your body's early warning signs, uncover what's driving your inflammation, and take the first steps toward lasting migraine freedom.   In This Episode, I'll Share: The prodrome signs that tell you a migraine is coming, and how catching them early can change everything. Why relying on meds, caffeine, and essential oils is just a “duct tape” approach (and what to do instead). How your inflammation network holds the key to understanding and ending your migraines. 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. Your symptoms are signs your body is trying to communicate with you. The sooner you learn how to listen, the sooner you can heal.   Resources & Links Grab your copy of Toxic Migraine Triggers: The 6 Inflammatory Pathways Fueling Your Migraine Pain.  Inside this free e-book, you'll learn: ✨ The 6 inflammation pathways that keep migraines alive ✨ Why quick fixes stop working over time ✨ What you can do today to begin reversing the inflammation that fuels your pain Download it here!   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.

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.

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:

In today's episode we are talking about weather and vestibular disorders. One of the things people ask about the most is what to do about the weather?! And—no surprise to anyone—it's one of the biggest topics of conversation inside Vestibular Group Fit. We're in the middle of fall and heading toward those winter weather changes. If this is a time of the year you struggle with, this is the episode for you! (Don't worry! If you're catching this in the spring, this information will still be helpful.) In this episode, we'll dig into: How weather changes impact a vestibular disorder What other triggers are impacted by weather changes What you can do to help with weather changes What to do when you're hit with unexpected weather changes What to keep in your toolkit for changes in weather How to prepare or pre-treat for weather shifts in advance It's so important that you build your threshold and expand your bucket so weather changes become less triggering over time. It's a process, but there is hope! Check the links below for things you can add to your toolkit.

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!

You've cut out sugar, avoided alcohol, skipped processed foods, and followed every diet rule in the book—yet migraines keep finding their way back. Meanwhile, your partner eats pizza and drinks wine with no problem. How is that fair?This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast explores why “perfect” eating often fails to protect migraine warriors—and may even make things worse. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has helped hundreds of people rebuild trust in their bodies, we blend Western science with Eastern healing wisdom to uncover why rigid food rules can raise stress, not resilience.You'll discover:

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, 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.

Welcome to this special episode of the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. For major FDA decisions in the field of neurology, we release short special episodes to offer a snapshot of the news, including the main takeaways for the clinical community, as well as highlights of the efficacy and safety profile of the agent in question. In this special edition of Mind Moments, Patricia Pozo-Rosich, MD, PhD, head of the neurology department at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, discussed the recent FDA approval of fremanezumab (Ajovy) for pediatric migraine prevention. As a study author on the pivotal phase 3 SPACE trial (NCT03539393), Dr. Pozo-Rosich reflected on the significance of having a proven therapeutic option in a population where placebo responses and lack of evidence have long complicated care. She provided insights on how the trial was designed and the challenges of running pediatric studies, particularly in adolescents. Additionally, she highlighted broader implications for migraine research, including efforts to reduce placebo effects, the role of CGRP pathway inhibition in younger patients, and the future promise of emerging targets such as PACAP antagonists and new toxin formulations.

Tracking your symptoms can be incredibly helpful in revealing patterns. When we talk about vestibular migraine, we ultimately want to figure out the patterning behind it for you. Even if it feels like it's completely random and there's absolutely no pattern, there's almost always some sort of pattern. I help a lot of my patients figure out what their pattern is by them tracking their symptoms and sharing their log with me. In today's episode, I'm sharing what that looks like so you have a roadmap to follow. In this episode, we'll dig into: How to track your vestibular disorder symptoms Examples of common vestibular migraine symptoms Which symptoms you want to track for your vestibular disorder What your neurologist and other providers will want to see What symptoms to track short term vs long term The benefit of having a VM toolkit for attacks What to do to begin your vestibular healing journey Part of living with and managing a vestibular disorder is about understanding your unique situation. Which, yes, includes symptom tracking for the short and long term. It's not possible to ignore your way or think your way out of a vestibular disorder. It's about awareness, intentional actions, and curating the most supportive tools and providers for you.
