Stop Waiting for a Breakdown to Take a Break with Sarah Stokes

The Nope Coach

If you've ever dreamed of a hospital stay just to get a break (guilty!), this episode is for you. Sarah and I crack open the truth about how we ignore our body's whispers until they start screaming - whether it's migraines, burnout, or a mysterious case of adult-level grumpiness. From feather nudges to metaphorical Mack trucks, we explore how our bodies are basically yelling, “Stop volunteering for crap you hate!” We talk about: Why self-care isn't selfish (and might just save your sanity). “Feather, rock, truck” – the escalation path of ignoring your intuition. How resentment and migraines might be soul-siblings. Ditching the “busy badge” and choosing joy instead. Reclaiming the right to do absolutely nothing (and love it). Why being awkward and honest beats perfection every time. This episode is full of real talk, belly laughs, and gentle-but-firm reminders to check in with your own damn needs before your body checks you into a hospital.

Enjoy this fun bonus episode with Karen Tartt, who shares her expertise with a phenomenal and tasty migraine friendly cocktail she created. Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS, Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Karen are also joined by Christine Moyer from the podcast Unsteady and Unfiltered. First, prepare the "shrub"Woody Pear Shrub -1 ⅓ cup Pear Juice* -⅔ cup Cane Sugar -1 cup White Distilled Vinegar -2 large sprigs of Rosemary -4 bunches of Thyme -3 Bay Leaves Measure and add all ingredients into a pot on your stove. Cover and turn heat to high. Bring liquid to a boil. Turn down the heat, take off the lid and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour the contents of the pot into a sealable container and store in the fridge for several hours or overnight. In the morning, strain steeped herbs out of the liquid using a wire mesh strainer or a nut milk bag. Store finished shrub in a sealable container in the fridge until use for up to a month. *Be mindful of the ingredient label when selecting a pear juice. You'll want to find one that uses ascorbic acid (powdered Vitamin C) as the color protectant instead of lemon juice. Knudsen Juice is a widely available brand that is safe, although I'm sure there are many that are also okay.Pear Cocktail-1 ¼ oz 40% Clear Spirit (vodka, gin, blanco tequila, etc.) -2 oz Woody Pear Shrub -Soda Water -Ice *Measure ingredients into a Collins glass over ice. Using a spoon, gently stir to incorporate all ingredients. Garnish with additional herbs (rosemary, thyme & bay). About KarenIn March of 2019, after 18 months of searching for answersto the seemingly mysterious symptoms Karen had been experiencing, she was diagnosed with Chronic Vestibular Migraine. Post diagnosis, she learned about the ⁠Johns Hopkins Migraine Diet⁠ through Dr. David Buchholz's book, ⁠“Heal Your Headache”⁠, and started to undergo the tedious elimination process to figure out her personal migraine triggers. In May of 2020, during the Covid pandemic quarantine, Karen launched a blog focused on migraine-friendly cocktails for the at-home bartender, Tartt Drinks. This creative outlet, along with an online audience of fellow migraineurs, provided a space for her to explore the cocktails, flavorsand spirits that were missing from the lives of those affected by migraine. Her migraine-friendly cocktails have since been featured in the Bombay Sapphire Artist Showcase, ⁠Speed Rack⁠ Trading Cards, ⁠Dizzy Cook⁠'s first book release party, ⁠Miles for Migraine⁠ ⁠Social Events⁠ and an upcoming cocktail book. She currently resides in San Francisco, CA and works at ⁠Wildhawk⁠ in the Mission District.

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.

Have you heard the saying “research is me-search”? It means people often explore topics they personally need or want to understand better. Well, that's exactly what today's episode is for me. I've had migraines since I was a teenager, and after being diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago, I started noticing how closely the two seem to be connected. Conversations with clients, colleagues, and other people I know showed me that I'm not alone. It seems like many people who have ADHD also deal with migraines. I started researching to find out if there is a connection between migraines and ADHD, and it turns out, there is! I connected with Dr. Sarah Cheyette to learn more. Dr. Cheyette is a pediatric neurologist who specializes in both ADHD and migraines. Dr. Cheyette graduated from Princeton University and received her medical degree at UCLA. Following specialty training in pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and in pediatric neurology at Seattle Children's Hospital, she practiced at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. She now owns a private practice in northern California. Today, she brings her insight into how these two conditions overlap. In our conversation, we talk about what migraines are, why migraines happen, how they're triggered, and—most importantly—what we can actually do about them - both to prevent and treat. Dr. Cheyette shares strategies for tracking headaches, making small but meaningful lifestyle changes, how to make sure you're doing the right things and taking the right meds to manage these debilitating headaches. Whether you live with both ADHD and migraines, or you're supporting someone who does, I hope you'll find this episode informative and validating.

Aïe, encore ce fichu mal de tête ! Mais est-ce une simple céphalée ? Une migraine ? Ou autre chose ? Pas toujours facile de s'y retrouver, et pourtant, faire la différence peut vraiment changer la manière de se soigner.D'abord, mettons les choses au clair. Le terme "céphalée", c'est juste le mot médical pour "mal de tête". Donc toutes les migraines sont des céphalées, mais toutes les céphalées ne sont pas des migraines. Un peu comme tous les croissants sont des viennoiseries, mais toutes les viennoiseries ne sont pas des croissants. Tu vois l'idée ?Commençons par la céphalée dite "de tension", la plus fréquente. Elle est souvent liée au stress, à la fatigue ou à une mauvaise posture. On la reconnaît à cette sensation de pression ou de serre-tête, diffuse, des deux côtés de la tête. Ce n'est pas très douloureux, mais ça peut durer des heures, voire plusieurs jours. Bonne nouvelle : elle répond bien au paracétamol ou à l'ibuprofène, et surtout au repos.La migraine, elle, joue dans une autre catégorie. Plus intense, souvent pulsatile — comme si ta tête battait au rythme de ton cœur — elle touche généralement un seul côté. Elle peut s'accompagner de nausées, de vomissements, d'une sensibilité à la lumière et au bruit. Et chez certains, une "aura" visuelle annonce l'arrivée de la crise : flashs lumineux, taches floues, voire des fourmillements. Les migraines peuvent durer de 4 à 72 heures et ne cèdent pas toujours aux antidouleurs classiques. Il existe des traitements spécifiques, les triptans, à prendre dès le début de la crise.Et les autres ? Oui, il y a d'autres types de céphalées, plus rares mais parfois plus graves. Par exemple, les céphalées en grappe, très intenses et localisées autour d'un œil, sont courtes mais terribles. Ou les céphalées secondaires, dues à une autre cause, comme une infection, une hypertension, ou pire, une hémorragie cérébrale. Dans ce cas, attention aux signes d'alerte : mal de tête brutal, comme un coup de tonnerre, troubles de la parole, raideur de la nuque, fièvre… Là, c'est direction urgences, sans passer par la case Doliprane.Alors en résumé : si ton mal de tête est nouveau, très intense, ou s'accompagne d'autres symptômes inquiétants, consulte. Sinon, essaie d'identifier s'il s'agit d'une tension passagère ou d'une migraine bien installée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Car Air Fresheners Are a Lie. Here's What You're Really Inhaling

What if the air freshener in your car was more dangerous than the pollution outside? In this explosive episode, Darin reveals what's really inside those “harmless” little trees hanging from car mirrors—and why they could be silently damaging your health. Backed by real science and peer-reviewed studies, Darin uncovers the shocking truth about volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the health effects on the brain and lungs, and the corporations that won't label them. You'll also learn how to detox your air, reclaim your health, and even start a grassroots movement to get a fragrance-free option in ride shares like Uber and Lyft. Studies: There's this study called “Volatile Chemical Emissions from Car Air Fresheners”—and wow. Researchers analyzed 12 popular car fresheners—those trees, clips, sprays, gels—you name it. Here's what they found: 546 volatile organic compounds. That's VOCs. Out of those, 30 were considered potentially hazardous—things like formaldehyde, benzene, and other stuff you definitely don't want marinating your brain. And you know what's wild?
Not a single one of those hazardous chemicals was listed on the label.
(Steinemann et al., 2020) There's a study called “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Asthmatics”—and it found that over 64% of people with asthma reported real symptoms from these scented products: wheezing, headaches, even full-on asthma attacks. And 41% said air fresheners were the trigger (Steinemann, 2017). Another one? “Migraine Headaches and Fragranced Consumer Products.” Nearly half of the people who get migraines said air fresheners specifically set them off (Steinemann & Nematollahi, 2020). And if you're neurodivergent—like folks with autism? This next one breaks my heart.
In the study “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Autistic Adults,” 83.7% of autistic individuals said fragranced products triggered serious neurological and respiratory problems—and 63% said air fresheners were one of the worst offenders (Steinemann, 2018). In a study out of Nigeria, researchers exposed mice to a solid commercial air freshener. After a few weeks, the mice showed increased anxiety, depression-like behavior, memory loss, and signs of oxidative stress in the brain. Their brains were literally under chemical assault.
The study's called “Neurobehavioral Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Solid Air Freshener in Mice.” Check it out—it's eye-opening (Umukoro et al., 2019). Sorry to tell you… greenwashed products aren't any better. In the same 2020 study I mentioned earlier, researchers tested “natural” versions too—and found no meaningful difference in the chemicals they released (Steinemann et al., 2020).     What You'll Learn in This Episode: 00:00 – Introduction: The truth about air fresheners 00:44 – Why Darin refuses to use ride shares with scent trees 01:50 – The hidden study on VOCs in popular car air fresheners 02:30 – 546 chemicals discovered—30 considered hazardous 03:00 – Where is the regulation? Why there are no labels 03:55 – Formaldehyde, benzene, and what they do to your body 05:00 – The link between asthma, headaches, and fragrances 05:45 – 64% of asthmatics report fragrance-triggered symptoms 06:25 – What these chemicals do to neurodivergent individuals 07:10 – Mice studies: anxiety, memory loss, oxidative stress 08:40 – Ubers, Lyfts, and chronic chemical exposure 09:15 – “Greenwashed” products are just as toxic 10:00 – No regulation, no labeling: the wild west of scent marketing 10:50 – A call to action: the Uber/Lyft fragrance-free movement 12:02 – How to tag and campaign for safer ride shares 13:00 – What you can use instead: baking soda, charcoal, and nature 14:40 – Exactly how to ask a driver to remove chemical air fresheners 15:41 – Final message: take your air—and your health—back     Don't Forget...

We unravel the intricate connections between metabolism, thyroid health, and migraine pain, offering up innovative and science-backed solutions. From Dr. Elena's transformative personal journey, battling over 20 migraines a month, she uncovers the overlooked role of metabolic function in migraine management. We explore the fascinating idea that migraines are more than just neurological—they're neuro metabolic. So, if you're tired of traditional meds and need a real solution to your headaches, lean in as we lay out the path to finding relief through alternative energy sources like ketones and the importance of stabilizing blood sugar. Together, we dive into Dr. Elena's four-pillar approach for mastering migraines: balancing brain fuel, ensuring proper micronutrient intake, bolstering antioxidant defenses, and embracing the potential of ketone bodies for brain energy. We also talk about the significant implications of hormonal health, particularly the roles of estrogen and bioidentical hormones. For those battling migraines more than ten times a month, evaluating thyroid health becomes crucial as a hypothesis links thyroid dysfunctions to migraine disorders.
