Podcasts about migraines

The worst-case thoughts about your health arrive before you can catch them and no amount of trying to shut them down makes them stop…That is not a failing on your part. It is how your brain is wired. For women with chronic illness and autoimmune disease, the thoughts and emotional patterns you repeat most often become the default pathways available to your brain, which is exactly why fighting a spiral never works. This mini is about neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to rewire itself and why real change comes from replacing the pattern rather than fighting it.In this episode you'll discover:Why you can't just stop a worst-case thought once it has started.How the thoughts you repeat become your brain's fastest, most automatic pathways.What actually rewires the pattern instead of fighting it.REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING WORKSHOPRelease the Anger Fueling Your Chronic Illness in 60 mins.

Migraines during pregnancy can be debilitating, and figuring out how to prevent or manage them can be especially challenging. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker explores the research on migraines during pregnancy, including why they happen, how pregnancy can affect migraine patterns, and why new or changing headaches should be taken seriously. Rebecca also discusses migraine triggers, medication overuse or "rebound" headaches, and strategies for prevention. Plus, drawing from both the research and her own lifelong experience with migraines, Rebecca shares non-pharmacological comfort measures for coping with migraine pain, from hydration and body work to temperature therapy, acupressure, mindfulness, and more.

Postpartum recovery already asks a lot from the body and migraine can make that transition even harder.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores why migraines can return after childbirth, what may be driving them, and how to better support the body during postpartum recovery.You'll learn:

For years I treated my chronic illness the way you probably are right now. The protocols, the supplements, the specialists, the diets. It all helped, and none of it was the whole story.What no one told me is how much of illness in women is caused or worsened by emotional stress, and how the emotional patterns sitting underneath your symptoms keep autoimmune disease and other chronic conditions flaring no matter how perfectly you manage the physical.In this episode you'll discover:How much of your illness actually is fueled and worsened by emotion.What happens in your body when a feeling becomes a symptom.How to actually start addressing the part of your illness that protocols can't heal.JOIN THE NOW SHE HEALS WAITLISTMy four-month healing experience where I help women with chronic illness stop being a full-time patient and become a full-time person again. I help you resolve the emotional patterns (people-pleasing, perfectionism, need for control) fueling your symptoms, so your body can finally shift out of survival mode and into a state where rest and repair is actually possible.>> ASK ME ANYTHING on Instagram @manifestingmindsetco

Medical gaslighting is when your experience of your body is denied or dismissed by a medical professional. Neurodivergent people frequently experience this even though providers don't always realize the harm they're doing. When we talk about neurodivergence, we usually focus on the mind — but what about the body? In this episode of our "Navigating Neurodiverse Love & Life" series, my co-host Mona Kay and I dive into the physical side of neurodivergence that too often gets dismissed, misunderstood, or flat-out ignored by the medical system. From dysautonomia and migraines to depression as a physiological experience, Mona and I share our own lived experiences with bodies that don't regulate the way they're "supposed to." We discuss the gut-brain connection, pain sensitivity differences across the autism/ADHD spectrum, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, seasonal affective disorder, hormones, and why so many of us have spent years feeling like we were "making it all up" — only to discover our symptoms were real all along. I also share the story of a doctor who recently reached out wanting to learn more about his neurodivergent patients, and why that kind of curiosity gives me hope. We talk about medical gaslighting, why even well-meaning physicians miss the signs, and what needs to change in medical training so neurodivergent patients stop falling through the cracks. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, love someone who is, or you're a professional working with neurodivergent clients, this conversation is a reminder that validation changes everything.

You've quietly decided that the reason you're not better yet is that you haven't found the right thing. The right protocol, the right diet, the right practitioner. But what if the thing you're searching for was only ever going to get you halfway?For women with chronic illness and autoimmune disease, this is one of the emotional patterns that keeps you stuck the longest. Protocols and treatments are valuable, but chronic illness is only half a body problem, which means a physical-only fix is only ever half a solution. The other half is emotional, and it's the half nothing on your list was built to reach.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the right protocol, diet or treatment can only ever get you halfwayThe half of chronic illness that no physical approach is designed to touchOne question that stops you chasing the next fix and points you at what you've been avoidingJOIN THE NOW SHE HEALS WAITLISTClick here to get on the waitlist for Now She Heals, my four-month healing experience where I help women with chronic illness stop being a full-time patient and become a full-time person again.

Have you ever searched "can constipation cause headaches" at eleven at night with a raging headache because, after years of it, you'd finally started to wonder if these two were connected?Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix?

Many people live with symptoms that quietly erode their quality of life, never realizing they may be responding adversely to foods they eat every day. What is considered a "superfood" to most of the world may be the trigger for tremendous suffering in a bio-individual whose body does not tolerate that food.   Symptoms of food intolerances and sensitivities can include bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, migraines, joint pain, skin problems, brain fog, fatigue, and other forms of digestive or systemic distress. Because some food reactions may be delayed, connecting a symptom to a specific food can be incredibly difficult.   In this episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with James White, CEO and owner of KBMO Diagnostics, about food sensitivities, food intolerances, food allergies, inflammation, leaky gut/intestinal permeability, elimination diets, and bio-individual nutrition.   James explains the difference between an immediate IgE food allergy and a delayed food sensitivity, why delayed reactions can be so difficult to pinpoint, and how the FIT, or Food Inflammation Test, can be used by Nutritional Therapy Practitioners as one tool within a larger assessment.   Jamie also shares her family's experience with food sensitivity testing, including her father's dramatic health transformation and her own difficult discovery that eggs were causing digestive problems.   This conversation explores: • Food allergies vs. food sensitivities vs. food intolerances • Immediate IgE reactions and delayed immune responses • Common symptoms associated with problematic foods • Digestive distress, migraines, skin issues, joint pain, fatigue, and brain fog • The relationship between inflammation, intestinal permeability (leaky gut) Food sensitivity testing and the KBMO FIT Test • Elimination diets and structured food reintroduction   There is no universally perfect diet. A food can be nutrient-dense and still not work well for your body at this particular time. The goal is not to fear food or permanently eliminate everything that produces a reaction. The goal is to gather useful information, reduce your total inflammatory burden, support healing, and make informed choices based on your individual body.   A test can provide information, but the work begins when the results arrive. You still have to decide what you are willing to do with that information.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE   Work with a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner: ⁠⁠NTA Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠Get Your Free Health Assessment⁠⁠ * Work with a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP)⁠⁠ in Private Practice⁠⁠⁠⁠ * ⁠Whole30 ⁠elimination and reintroduction program * ⁠Coca Pulse Test⁠ * KBMO Diagnostics and the FIT Test:⁠⁠https://kbmodiagnostics.com/⁠⁠ * Interested in becoming an NTP?

For years you built a life that looked right from the outside and felt wrong from the inside — and when your body finally broke down, you never once connected the two. Chronic illness is rarely just physical. In women, it often traces back to emotional patterns and a life quietly out of step with what you actually want, and your emotions have been the signal all along.This episode offers a completely different way of understanding why you got sick, and what your feelings have been trying to show you the whole time.In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body stops showing up for a life you don't truly wantWhat your emotions have actually been telling you about the life you're livingHow to read what your emotions are pointing you toward, instead of pushing them awayJOIN THE NOW SHE HEALS WAITLISTMy four-month healing experience where I help women with chronic illness stop being a full-time patient and become a full-time person again.

She's very put together when she leaves the house. Hair done, makeup on, clothing right. And always a Kleenex in her left pocket. Because about four minutes after she sits down to eat — any meal, any food, any day — her nose starts running like a faucet. She's been hiding it for a decade. Perfecting the quiet dab, the fake cough. She sat across from a man on a third date with a wad of tissue balled up in her fist under the napkin. When she mentioned it to her doctor, she was told it was allergies. Try an antihistamine. It didn't help. So she went back to the Kleenex and stopped asking. In this episode I explain what's actually happening, why her nose runs when she eats, why this symptom shows up in migraine sufferers at a striking rate, and why I actually love this symptom more than almost any other. Because her nose isn't misbehaving at dinner. It's been giving her a report three times a day, every day, for ten years. Nobody ever told her how to read it.

In October 2013, a young Dane named Thor Pedersen set off from his home with a single, slightly mad rule: he wanted to visit every country on earth — all of them — in one continuous journey, and to do it without ever once setting foot on an airplane. Container ships, trains, buses, and a great deal of waiting around. He thought it might take three or four years. It took almost ten. He crossed closed borders and war zones, ran out of money more than once, was stranded for two years by the global pandemic, and served the whole time as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Red Cross. In 2023 he became the first person in history to do it. In this episode, Jonathan Thomas talks to Thor about the whole extraordinary decade — and, this being the Anglotopia Podcast, spends a good while on Britain, which came remarkably early in the itinerary. Thor recounts crossing from Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees at the port, being awestruck by Bristol's maritime heritage, a memorable host in Wales whose front garden contained a toilet lying on its side, a Red Cross officer in Belfast who felt like the James Bond of the Red Cross, falling for the Scottish countryside, buying dodgy Les Misérables tickets in London, a desperate dash for seasickness pills in Immingham, and Hogmanay in Inverness courtesy of a kind bartender. But the deeper story is the one Thor tells in an unusual way: he doesn't sell it as a triumph. He's honest about the loneliness, the setbacks, the cerebral malaria, the migraines, the moments at gunpoint, the two years stuck in Hong Kong — and about the thing that actually got him around the world, which turned out not to be toughness at all, but the kindness of strangers.

Thor's father sent him a link about the world's most-travelled people, and Thor — then 34, twelve years into a career in shipping and logistics, and having visited around 50 countries — discovered that roughly 200 people had reached every country, but nobody had done it entirely without flying. He describes it striking him "like lightning." 2 His definition of "every country" was deliberately generous. The UN recognizes 193 sovereign states plus two observer states (the Vatican and Palestine). Thor built on that, splitting the Danish kingdom into Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland, and splitting the UK into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — arriving at 203 — precisely so nobody could come back afterward and say "but what about Kosovo?" 3 Britain came very early — country numbers seven through ten, in late 2013, just weeks after leaving Denmark. He crossed Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees camped by the rail tracks, was refused as a foot passenger, and got across by knocking on car windows until a driver calling himself Rambling Rat let him ride along. 4 Travelling only overland and by sea teaches you something you cannot learn from an airplane: how enormous the world actually is, and how gradually it changes. Thor points out that at borders, people wear the same clothes, eat the same food, often share a language — and the plants and animals don't care which side they're on. The real changes happen further inland. 5 He became a Red Cross Goodwill Ambassador early on, which transformed the project. Within weeks he realized it wasn't a country project but a people project. Meeting national Red Cross societies gave him rapid, genuine insight into each country — its economy, its government, whether it was a strong or weak society — and gave balance to a social media feed that otherwise risked being relentlessly, artificially upbeat. 6 Two years in, in Central Africa, everything collapsed at once: he lost financial backing, his long-distance relationship was falling apart, he was recovering from cerebral malaria, he was suffering debilitating migraines for the first time in his life, and his life was at risk more than once. It was the point at which he genuinely broke — and the point at which he first wanted to go home. He still had eight years left. 7 The pandemic stranded him in Hong Kong for two years. He'd arrived expecting a four-day transit stop. Immigration eventually told him he couldn't stay indefinitely as a visitor and offered three options: marry someone, study, or work. He ended up employed by the Danish Seamen's Church as "junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there," shopping for seafarers trapped aboard their ships and unable to come ashore. 8 Hong Kong was both the worst and best chapter. CNN picked up his story, which went viral and transformed his profile. The Hong Kong Tourism Board nicknamed him "Hong Kong's only tourist." By the end he had two apartments, two cars, a driver's licence, a temporary ID card and a dentist. It remains the place in the world he misses most. 9 He felt no joy at all on reaching the final countries. Sri Lanka, then the Maldives on 23 May 2023 — everything had become "automated and mechanic," and he was working through interviews while everyone else scuba dived and drank martinis. The project was successful in the Maldives, but it was completed when he got home to Aarhus, 31 days later by container ship — 40 container ships in total across the decade. 10 Thor's strongest observation about travel is that most of the world is deeply ordinary. People go to work, go to school, spend time with family, follow their sports teams. He travelled through the Game of Thrones years and found everyone everywhere talking about it. He saw a boy in Libya spinning a Captain America shield fidget spinner. We are, he argues, far more connected than we think. ⠀ Soundbites 1 "I found out no one had accomplished it completely without flying. For most people that would be an uh-huh kind of moment, and then people would move on. But it struck me like lightning." — Thor on the email from his father that started everything. 2 "There's a common phrase where people say it's a small world. It really isn't. If it was a small world, I think I would have been back home a lot sooner." — Thor on what a decade overland teaches you. 3 "Around most border areas, people wear the same clothes. You get the same food on either side. The plants and the animals in the area do not care which side of the border they're on." — Thor on seeing where countries actually meet. 4 "Within weeks I realized that this wasn't a country project, that this was a people project." — Thor on the shift that changed everything. 5 "I was in Central Africa and I was deep in over my head. I lost financial backing. My long-distance relationship was falling apart. I was recovering from cerebral malaria. My life was at risk several times. And I just lost the motivation to continue." — Thor on the moment it broke him, two years in. 6 "If there was a competition within hospitality globally, like the Olympics, we would be on the bench watching the other countries. We are kind and helpful and friendly — but we have no idea how friendly we could be." — Thor comparing Northern European and global hospitality. 7 "I made an excuse that I was going to the bathroom, but really what I wanted to do was go and pay for all of us. And on my way there, they already knew what I was up to and shouted to the cashier — don't let him pay, we will take care of it." — Thor on his host Dafala in Sudan. 8 "So I was hired to be the junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there." — Thor on how he solved his Hong Kong immigration problem. 9 "I arrived with my hat and my backpack, and when I was at my highest I had two apartments, I had two cars, I had access to the port, I had my driver's licence, I had a dentist. I had a life in Hong Kong." — Thor on two years stranded. 10 "The real story here is that most of the world is such an ordinary place. It is just people getting by in life, making the best of the situations that they have. Going to work, going to school, spending time with family, falling in love, following their sports teams." — Thor on what a decade on the road actually revealed. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — One

“It's not a problem that you can't keep it together enough. It's a problem that you have too much to keep together.” — Dr. Michelle Jacobson What happens when a leading menopause specialist and a seasoned business builder decide that “this is just how it is” is no longer an acceptable answer? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Dr. Michelle Jacobson and Jenn Patterson, co-founders of Coven Health, to explore why women's healthcare so often feels fragmented—and what becomes possible when care is evidence-informed, collaborative and built around the whole woman. They talk honestly about perimenopause, migraine, iron deficiency, anxiety, rage, libido, medical dismissal and the impossible pressure to keep everything together. They also unpack why individualized care matters, why a patient must have agency in every treatment plan, and how better education now could change the experience of the next generation. In this epsiode: How a two-and-a-half-year specialist wait list helped inspire a new model of care Why publicly funded physician care is only one piece of comprehensive health support How migraines, mood changes, fatigue and rage can intersect with the menopause transition Why not every midlife symptom is “just hormones” The value of prioritizing one meaningful health change at a time What true patient-centred care and informed choice look like How Gen X women were trained to keep it together—and what that has cost us Why teaching the full life cycle of women's health could change everything The deeper meaning behind the name Coven Chapters: 00:00 Meet Dr. Michelle Jacobson and Jenn Patterson 01:37 Building a Better Model for Women's Healthcare 04:12 Jenn's Journey from Patient to Co-Founder 07:10 Why Women Struggle to Find the Right Care 08:56 Public Healthcare, Private Clinics and the Missing Nuance 12:17 Closing the Gaps in Women's Healthcare 14:29 What's Missing from the Menopause Conversation 19:20 Migraines, Anxiety and Early Perimenopause 20:14 Menopause Rage—and the Power Inside It 25:25 Why Women Feel They Must Keep It All Together 28:44 What We're Teaching the Next Generation 30:13 Supporting Women Earlier in Their Lives 31:59 The Menopause Education Gap 37:39 What Patient-Centred Care Actually Looks Like 43:33 Why the Name Coven? 47:14 Final Thoughts and Where to Find Coven About the guests: Dr. Michelle Jacobson is an OB-GYN and menopause specialist whose work focuses on evidence-informed, individualized women's healthcare.

If your migraines suddenly feel more frequent, intense, or unpredictable in midlife, hormonal instability may be playing a bigger role than you realize.In this episode, you'll learn:

You want to heal your chronic illness more than anything. So why do you keep putting off the very things you know would help?If you live with an autoimmune illness or chronic condition, you have probably decided the answer is that you lack discipline. It isn't. There is a part of you actively resisting change, and it is one of the emotional patterns behind chronic illness in women that almost no one connects to why they stay stuck. Because on some level, staying sick has been meeting a need and a part of you is protecting it.In this episode, you'll discover:Why wanting to heal has never been enough to actually get you there3The reason you keep avoiding the things you know would help youHow to get the part of you that resists change on your side for good>> JOIN THE NOW SHE HEALS WAITLIST HERE.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down CoQ10 and PQQ from the ground up. You'll learn how CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production, antioxidant defense, cardiovascular wellness, and healthy aging, plus why your natural production declines over time. Jared explains the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol, how age and digestion may influence which form makes sense, what to look for in a high-quality naturally fermented CoQ10, and how dosing can vary depending on your goals. He also explores how statin medications can affect CoQ10 levels and why PQQ may be the perfect partner by supporting mitochondrial biogenesis.

In this episode of Triggered with Dr. Leslie, I break down a popular piece of migraine advice about why so many women get migraines on Saturdays. The usual explanation is that your “migraine brain” can't handle sleeping in, shifting your routine, or delaying your coffee, but I don't think that gets to the real issue. In this episode, I talk about the let-down effect, what I call false vitality, and why so many women crash the moment life finally slows down. We talk about why I don't want women stuck in a bubble-wrap lifestyle built around rigid routines, and why the real goal should be building the kind of resilience and vitality that lets your body handle normal life without tipping into a migraine.

“It's only going to get worse.” If you live with chronic illness, you've probably decided this about your body, and you've been calling it realism...But this forecast is one of the emotional patterns behind chronic illness and autoimmune illness in women that almost no one connects to their physical symptoms. Every day you expect the decline, your body receives a negative instruction it can actually act on, and it starts producing evidence to match.

You wake up with a migraine, your jaw is tight, your teeth hurt and your dentist keeps telling you everything looks fine. Those things may not be as disconnected as they seem. In this episode, Debbie explains how the trigeminal system connects the face, jaw and migraine pathways — and why dental health, clenching, old fillings and nighttime breathing deserve a place in the bigger migraine conversation. This isn't about blaming your teeth for your migraines. It's about looking at another part of the body that is often completely separated from migraine care. In this episode: How the trigeminal nerve connects sensation from your face, jaw and teeth with major migraine pathways Why a night guard may protect your teeth without answering why you're clenching What gum disease, dental infection and old dental work have to do with your overall inflammatory load What the FDA actually says about mercury-containing amalgam fillings — and why Debbie is not telling you to remove intact fillings Four questions to take to your next dental appointment Why dry mouth, snoring, morning headaches and waking exhausted may be reasons to investigate nighttime breathing Why mouth taping isn't the first place Debbie would start How your mouth and sleep fit into a much bigger migraine picture Mentioned in this episode: Women's Migraine Freedom™ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/womensmigrainefreedom Migraine Breakthrough® Assessment: https://pages.debbiewaidlcoach.com/breakthroughcall-social-7269 Before you change anything, start collecting information.

#450 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Dr. Sue Morter about the divine, awakening, and the idea that human beings were not separate selves trying to reach spirit, but divine presence learning to come fully into body form. Dr. Sue shared how early experiences of beauty and meditation had led her into a profound realization of herself as light, which changed how she understood healing, purpose, and the truth of who people really were. She explained that embodiment, rather than simply enlightenment, had been the key to translating higher-frequency experiences into everyday life and accessing a more grounded, creative, and self-healing way of being.  The conversation also explored how people often gave their power away to the outer world, lived in their heads, and developed symptoms because they were disconnected from the core of the body and their true self. By the end, Dr. Sue described this time in history as a powerful opportunity to make a "quantum flip," choose unity over duality, and live from the perspective of a divine quantum energy being with purpose, coherence, and trust. ==================== Online Healing Sessions with Guy:https://shorturl.at/rzee4     Guy's Official Partners: The DNA Company – Get 10% Off https://thednacompany.com/letitinpodcast FLFE – 2 Week Free Trial (No Credit Card Required) https://www.flfe.net/rp-affiliates.php?p=LiveInFlow&w=TryFLFEfree ====================  Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Stop Searching for the Divine.

In this episode of Triggered with Dr. Leslie, I break down a popular migraine graphic that I think perfectly captures one of the biggest problems in the migraine world right now.So much of the messaging women are receiving teaches them to see themselves as having a defective “migraine brain,” to track every symptom, ration medication, and live in a constant state of hypervigilance. I talk about why I believe that mindset is not helping women heal, how it can actually reinforce fear and disconnection from the body, and why we need a very different framework if we want real recovery.If you've ever felt like living with migraines has turned you into a full-time monitor of your own body, this episode will probably hit home.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral Working my way out of burn out, and gut issues. Trying to work in b vitamins, but getting some overstimulation. I already shifted to methyl free b9,12 as they were giving me issues likely because of gut health. Should I try to work them in first, or work on lowering stress first? I wanted to have b vitamins in my rotation before attempting the CBO protocol, but not sure if I'm able to. I know excessive oxidative stress etc in the gut can cause methylation issues, but you still need b vitamins for optimal gut health right, so it seems like a chicken and egg scenario. If you could nudge me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for all you do. Almost done with level 1 IHP and looking forward to meeting you at the Reimagining Health Summit in November.      Shirra: I have symptoms of MCAS I am breastfeeding where to I begin to heal it what tests to order?       Sai: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for all your work! 38M, healthy lifestyle, but chronic GERD with a minimal hiatal hernia since 33. On/off PPIs for 5+ years. Had 4 endoscopies in 6 years—just told to take meds. Biopsies/labs confirmed negative for H. pylori and Candida.Off PPIs for months and OK if I eat perfectly. But just one wrong food triggers an intense vicious cycle, requiring weeks of medications to reset. No bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion. Why won't this tissue heal, and why am I so hyper-sensitive?Recently, a tiny bit of decaf coffee caused severe pain, sudden bowel movements, and a strong sensation of food stuck in my upper abdomen (must walk to move it). Back on meds now. Is chronic reflux inevitable with a minor hernia, or am I missing a root cause? Thank       Anonymous: Here's what's happened: 2023: Abdominal ultrasound showed a 7 mm gallbladder polyp; I had no symptoms. 2024: Endoscopy/biopsies found chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia mainly in the stomach body, and ECL/neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. The pattern suggested autoimmune gastritis/pernicious anemia. No H. pylori, dysplasia, or cancer was found. Follow-up was planned every 2–3 years. July 2026: Repeat endoscopy looked reassuring with no obvious concerning area. Mapping biopsies found a tiny 1 mm, Grade 1, well-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumor. The doctor said the visible bump was fully removed. No dysplasia or usual stomach carcinoma was found. Plan: conservative monitoring and repeat endoscopy in 6–12 months. My question: Can this/ autoimmune gastritis be reverse.       Nicole: Hi Stephen, A bit of background: I suffer with migraines, which started in 2021 around the time I was living in a mold-exposed environment (I also received the COVID shot that same year). I'm based in Australia. I had urine mycotoxin testing that came back elevated for ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone. Based on those results, I purchased your Mold Protocol. I've also put on significant weight since the mold exposure. I also recently had a stool microbiome test done, which showed low levels of several beneficial bacteria (including Akkermansia muciniphila and various Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), along with an elevated Phocaeico     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3866 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

You've spent years learning everything there is to know about your chronic illness. The books, the podcasts, the research. And somewhere in there, you started to believe that if you just understood your body well enough, it would finally heal.But healing has never been connected to the speed you learn. For women carrying chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, the body only repairs once it feels safe — and all that researching, all that searching for answers, is often one of the emotional patterns keeping it on alert instead. This mini is about why more information may be the thing keeping you stuck.In this mini, you'll discover:Why understanding your illness and healing your body are two completely different thingsHow the constant researching may be keeping your body in the exact state it can't heal fromOne question this week that tells you whether an input is calming your body or keeping it activatedFREE CHATGPT PROMPTClick here to download my FREE ChatGPT prompt that helps connect your real physical symptoms to the emotional patterns that may be underneath them in 30 seconds!For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

In this Q&A episode, Whitney answers two questions from listening asking what their responsibility is to people who aren't going to change.

In question two: a woman who seeks advice about parents who give her migraines and stomachaches every time they call.Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.Have a question for Whitney?

You knew something was wrong with your body long before anyone found it. Months, sometimes years, of being the only one who kept taking your chronic illness seriously - while the standard tests came back clear and the system ran out of places to look. So you found your own answers. And you were right.But here's the part almost no one connects to their physical symptoms. When being proven right costs you that much, a part of you starts holding onto the evidence of how sick you are — because that proof is the thing you fought to earn. And that emotional pattern can sit directly across from the healing you say you want as a woman with chronic illness.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the years you spent being the only one who believed you can end up working against you now.Why part of you can want to be well and resist it in the same breath.What changes when getting well no longer feels like conceding anything.Becoming the Version of You Who Heals is my seven-day audio series that works at the level of identity — separating who you are from what you've been diagnosed with, one day at a time.

In this episode, I break down a very popular migraine TikTok that talks about frequent migraines, rebound headaches, and how to rotate through different medications to manage attacks. I want to be clear that I believe the creator means well, but this kind of advice reflects some of the biggest misconceptions in the migraine world. I explain why I do not believe medication truly “aborts” a migraine, why cycling through more and more tools can actually deepen the problem over time, and why real healing has to go beyond symptom suppression. f you've ever felt trapped in the constant math of what to take, when to take it, and how not to overdo it, this episode will likely resonate If you're ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/apply Free Training: 5 Proven Steps to Being Migraine Free (Even if you think you've already tried everything.) https://www.drlesliecisar.com/5SHMN Connect with us: Website: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/ Free Facebook Group: Healing Migraines Naturally, with Leslie Cisar, ND Ready to try something radically different that actually works?

This week Beth has given a little bit of extra and unexpected love to her first baby, PowerBirth  which comes heavy with logistics, literal migraines, a lot of moving parts, but also loads of gratitude and joy. There's something really lovely about returning to a part of yourself and your work that you've had to put down for a while, and remembering just how much you love it.Lil's baby is teething. So her household has officially had a case of the grizzle grumps. But, as we know all too well, growing teeth isn't easy - hence the entire premise of this segment: growing pains can be literal growing pains.Meanwhile, Lil is teetering on the edge of falling off her rebuild bandwagon and has decided that perhaps the rebuild is actually a magnesium hot chocolate in bed, a Strawberry Vanilla Burst Loco Love⁠  and a Kindle. And honestly? Who are we to argue with that. That is actual self care. Pssttt.. Beth has a code for the hot choc: BIRTHWITHBETH She's also recommending that everyone in her life listen to The Imperfects episode on Matrescence that includes you glimmer girls. Beth is loving her Aesop body wash and Mixa moisturiser and her current rebuild is simple: upping her steps, especially now she can get out and about a little more easily with the twins.And an honourable mention goes to the Babybee LUNA2 Double Pram⁠ Lil picked hers up on Marketplace and, full disclosure, Beth has worked with Babybee — but the sentiment remains: that's a bloody great double pram for getting two babies in and out of the car.And as always, come hang out with us over on Instagram @Growingthepodcast and tell us what you're growing through, what your current rebuild looks like and, most importantly, what you're currently recommending to your fellow Glimmer Girls.

This episode is different. Instead of teaching, Debbie sits down with two women from inside the Freedom From Migraines Method, Nicole, a registered nurse with a 20 year migraine history, and Jaci, a doctor of nursing practice and board certified family nurse practitioner who was told her migraines were simply familial. Both were trained in the body. Both were still stuck, until they saw the whole system instead of one more piece of it. In this episode: Nicole's 20 year migraine history, and every doctor who told her she'd never be migraine free Jaci's story of being told, since childhood, that migraines were just something she'd always have What actually changed their minds after years of trying everything Where each of them is now, and what got them there Mentioned in this episode: Migraine Breakthrough Assessment: https://pages.debbiewaidlcoach.com/breakthroughcall-social-7269 If Nicole and Jaci's stories sound like your life right now, you can book a Migraine Breakthrough® Assessment using the link above.

For women with chronic illness, the dread that builds ahead of a hard week can cost you more than the week itself.You spend Sunday running the work, the appointments, the flare you're sure is coming — and by Monday your body has already lived it three times over. This mini is about that anticipatory dread, one of the emotional patterns that quietly drains the energy your body needs, and the simple shift that stops you living the hard thing twice. It's one of the most relatable patterns I see in women with chronic illness and autoimmune illness, and almost no one connects it to how depleted they feel.In this episode, you'll discover:Why dreading a hard week can wear you out more than the week itself doesWhat your body does when you rehearse something stressful that hasn't happened yetOne question that pulls you out of the dread and back into the day you're actually inUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Being symptom-free is the whole goal. And for a lot of women with chronic illness, it's also the most uncomfortable place to be.When your symptoms finally ease and a good stretch arrives, something feels off instead of freeing. So you spend it waiting for the crash, watching the horizon, unable to relax into the exact thing you've been working toward. This episode is about that fear of feeling good — one of the emotional patterns behind chronic illness and autoimmune illness in women that almost no one connects to their physical symptoms and why it keeps your body stuck.In this episode, you'll discover:Why a good stretch can leave you more on edge than a flare doesWhat your body is actually doing in the moments you can't let yourself enjoyThe one shift that lets you finally enjoy a good day instead of anxiously awaiting something to come ruin itUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

If you've ever felt something help for a few weeks and then stop working, this episode explains why. Debbie walks through the three layers she looks at with every single client, inducers, drivers, and genetics, and why treating them one at a time, in the wrong order, is the reason so many otherwise good approaches fall apart. In this episode: Layer one, inducers: the six interconnected systems most approaches only ever touch one or two of Why hydration advice alone misses what's actually happening at the cellular level Layer two, drivers: hormones, gut dysfunction, old injuries, and why they aren't the end of the story Layer three, genetics: why family history explains a tendency, not a life sentence Why the order you address these in changes everything Mentioned in this episode: Free Training, Why Your Nervous System Won't Let Your Migraines Go: https://pages.debbiewaidlcoach.com/workshop-opt-in Migraine Breakthrough Assessment: https://pages.debbiewaidlcoach.com/breakthroughcall-social-7269 If you want to see all three layers walked through in more depth, with the exact sequence Debbie uses, the free training linked above goes further than a podcast episode can.

Can neck dysfunction cause migraines and chronic headaches—even when you don't feel significant neck pain?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Dr Jono Taves, a physical therapist, headache specialist and founder of the Novera Headache Center, about the frequently overlooked connection between the neck, migraines and persistent headaches.When pain appears behind the eye, across the temple or inside the head, it is understandable to assume that the problem originates there. But when scans and neurological investigations fail to reveal a clear cause, could the pain actually be referred from the neck?Jono explains how dysfunction within the upper cervical spine can contribute to headache and migraine symptoms, why the brain may misinterpret where pain is coming from and how neck problems can remain undetected during conventional headache assessments.Leigh and Jono discuss:• Why pain felt in the head may originate in the neck• The relationship between neck dysfunction, migraines and chronic headaches• Why MRI and CT scans may not reveal the source of someone's symptoms• How previous injuries, trauma and accumulated physical stress can affect the neck• Why some migraine sufferers have neck dysfunction without obvious neck pain• The limitations of continually managing symptoms without investigating their cause• How specialist physical therapy may help reduce headache frequency and severity• The influence of posture, prolonged sitting and screen use• How psychological stress can increase muscular tension and aggravate symptoms• Practical ways to improve neck health and support headache recoveryThis conversation will be especially valuable if you experience recurring migraines, persistent headaches, neck or shoulder pain, or symptoms that have continued despite medication and conventional treatment. It may also help those whose headaches began following a sports injury, concussion, whiplash or other physical trauma.This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.

What if the belief you're holding about your own future is the very thing keeping you from healing?For a lot of women with chronic illness, hope feels almost impossible to hold onto. Your body hurts, the evidence that you can get better is thin, and somewhere along the way you decided this might just be your life now. But that belief shapes everything you do next, and the emotional patterns underneath it have a real effect on whether anything changes. This mini is about why you have to believe better is possible before the proof arrives, not after, and the one shift that starts building that belief on real things that are actually happening.In this mini, you'll discover:Why believing healing is possible has to come before the evidence, not afterThe reason hope feels so hard to hold when you're the one living in a body that hurtsOne shift that turns every small win into proof your body can get better7-DAY AUDIO SERIES: Becoming the Version of You Who HealsThat 3am thought, "what if this is just my life now?", stops being the thing you wake up to.

Taking time off to heal was supposed to be the thing that finally worked. So why do you feel exactly the same, or worse?Here's what nobody tells women with chronic illness who step back from work to recover. Stopping your job is not the same as resting your body. And if you've quietly turned getting better into your new full-time job, complete with targets, a timeline and a daily verdict on whether you're passing or failing, your body is still under pressure. It never actually stopped.

Migraines in midlife can feel unpredictable—but they may not be as random as they first appear. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, disrupted sleep, skipped meals, dehydration, food sensitivities, and weather changes can overlap until the body crosses its individual migraine threshold. In this deeply personal episode of Tea & Truth, Lynne shares what it was like to live with almost-daily, debilitating migraines. Her attacks frequently forced her to leave work, pull over while driving to be sick, and visit her doctor for injections when her usual medication couldn't control the pain. Her turning point came when she attended a headache clinic while studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Together, those experiences helped her combine appropriate migraine care with a more holistic understanding of her triggers, eating habits, stress, hydration, sleep, and overall lifestyle. Today, Lynne's migraines are far less frequent and are usually associated with weather and barometric-pressure changes. In This Episode You'll learn: Why migraine is much more than a bad headache How estrogen fluctuations may affect migraines in perimenopause Why migraines may change before and after menopause The difference between an underlying migraine condition and an individual trigger How food, skipped meals, blood-sugar swings, and dehydration may contribute Why cravings can sometimes be an early migraine symptom How stress and disrupted sleep may lower your migraine threshold Why storms and barometric-pressure changes can trigger attacks How to track patterns without becoming fearful or overly restrictive Practical ways to reduce your overall trigger load When a new, severe, or changing headache needs prompt medical attention You may not be able to control every trigger—especially the weather—but understanding your personal patterns may help you feel more prepared, informed, and empowered.   Explore Lynne's Migraine Book Lynne is also the author of Conquering Migraines: Your Guide to a Life Without Pain, an educational resource inspired by her own journey with debilitating migraines. The book explores possible migraine triggers and practical food and lifestyle strategies that may help readers become more informed participants in their care.

After years of hearing traumatic birth stories and questioning whether parenthood was right for her, Heidi Gustad entered pregnancy determined to make informed decisions every step of the way. When she was diagnosed with insulin-managed gestational diabetes, debilitating migraines, and a rare umbilical cord abnormality called an umbilical vein varix, the birth center birth she had envisioned was suddenly no longer an option.   In this episode, Heidi shares how evidence-based education, a supportive care team, and careful preparation helped her navigate unexpected changes with confidence. She and Dr. Dekker discuss what it was like to advocate for herself through multiple diagnoses, switch care providers late in pregnancy, and prepare for a hospital birth while still hoping for an unmedicated labor. Heidi also shares the surprising series of events that led to spontaneous labor before her scheduled induction, and how she welcomed her baby after a fast, nine-hour labor.   (01:36) Overcoming a lifelong fear of pregnancy and choosing parenthood (05:13) Navigating migraines, gestational diabetes, and changing providers (08:52) Risking out of birth center care and finding the right hospital (11:11) Understanding a rare umbilical vein varix diagnosis (17:47) Building confidence through education, advocacy, and a supportive birth team (21:59) Preparing for birth with physical therapy, acupuncture, and evidence-based resources (25:50) Spontaneous labor begins weeks before a scheduled induction (32:02) Coping strategies for a fast, unmedicated labor (37:19) Postpartum recovery and breastfeeding (40:42) Heidi's advice on informed decision-making and birth preferences (43:06) Using anxiety and pain-coping techniques during labor   Resources Listen to EBB's Natural Induction Series on Acupuncture, Raspberry Red Leaf Tea, and Nipple Stimulation: evidencebasedbirth.com/category/series/natural-labor-induction-series/ EBB 304 – Q & A on PPD/Pitocin, Delayed Cord Clamping, Nubain, and Placental encapsulation: evidencebasedbirth.com/ebb-304-q-and-a-on-ppd-pitocin-delayed-cord-clamping-nubain-and-placental-encapsulation/ Read the research on Umbilical Chord Varix Fetal intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix: retrospective cohort study and systematic review and meta-analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28876490/ Isolated fetal umbilical vein varix and the association with intrauterine fetal death and fetal growth restriction: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and nested retrospective cohort study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38502055/ The Development of the Umbilical Vein and Its Anatomical and Clinical Significance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11954436/ Learn more about Spinning Babies®: spinningbabies.com   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

A rash baffled 25 years of dermatologists. It disappeared in a week once Dr. Steven Zodkoy traced it to a childhood memory. Here's what that case, and the concept of a "biofilm," has to do with your migraines and your bladder. Dr. Chris Motley sits down with Dr. Steven Zodkoy, a chiropractor and applied kinesiologist who became the first in his field to pass the American College of Nutrition exam, a credential previously reserved for MDs and PhDs. Thirty-five years into practice, Dr. Zodkoy specializes in the patient conventional medicine gave up on: the migraine sufferer, the "recurring UTI" patient who never actually had a UTI, the chronic fatigue case with a normal bloodwork panel. His framework rests on one idea most doctors do not test for: the biofilm, a sticky protective layer that bacteria, viruses, mold, and parasites lay down to hide from the immune system and from treatment. Once one pathogen builds a biofilm, Zodkoy argues, it invites others in, which is why a "cured" infection so often resurfaces as something else entirely, chronic sinusitis becoming Lyme-like fatigue, a bladder infection becoming a lifetime of unexplained pelvic tightness, a resistant childhood strain becoming an adult autoimmune diagnosis.  Key Takeaways Biofilms are why a "cleared" infection keeps coming back as something else. A biofilm is the mucous-like shield a bacterium, virus, parasite, or mold colony builds to hide from the immune system and from antibiotics. Once it's there, he says, it invites other pathogens to shelter in it too, which can explain why chronic sinusitis, Lyme-linked fatigue, and mold exposure so often show up in the same patient.  Interstitial cystitis is frequently a tight-bladder problem being treated as a recurrent UTI. Dr. Zodkoy's read: stress and anxiety tighten the bladder, it never fully empties, and what's left behind gets infected, so the antibiotic treats a symptom while the muscle stays tight and the infections keep returning. His protocol adjusts the pelvic floor and pubic symphysis, then layers in biofilm-breaking supplements and emotional work.  A 25-year rash resolved after one round of Neuro-Emotional Technique tied to an age-seven memory. Every physical test on this patient, mold, yeast, parasites, heavy metals, came back clean. Emotional testing didn't.  His migraine protocol runs liver support first, nervous system second, emotional work third, in that order, on purpose. Dr. Zodkoy's 1992 theory ties migraines to a slow-functioning liver overloaded by chemical exposure, hormones, or diet. He walks us through his 8-week liver protocol, 16 weeks including autonomic nervous system support, and a 96% success rate once emotional work is added. You cannot do deep detox or trauma work on a nervous system that has nothing left. There's no point moving to detox, biofilm-clearing, or emotional release until a patient's self-rated energy crosses roughly 50 to 60 out of 100.  [00:00:00] Cold open: migraines, interstitial cystitis, chronic fatigue, and the biofilm nobody explains  [00:02:02] Origin story: "doctor, lawyer, doctor" and practicing three months before 25  [00:04:04] Why he became a nutritionist first: the autonomic nervous system as the missing piece  [00:06:08] Finding a hidden emotion: the six-minute visit versus a real history  [00:09:37] The HPA axis toolkit: DHEA, GABA, adaptogens, and a gut bacterium built for stress  [00:11:27] NET, emotion code, and generational trauma: "it doesn't have to be real, it has to be believed"  [00:14:36] The 25-year rash: a muscle test, a forgotten age seven, and a mother's confession  [00:19:04] Migraines: the 1992 liver theory, the 80/20 split, and a claimed 96% success rate  [00:23:43] Interstitial cystitis is not a UTI: the tight bladder nobody is treating [00:27:06]  Killing the biofilm: natokinase, antimicrobials, and cranial electrotherapy stimulation  [00:31:29] The sympathetic-parasympathetic seesaw, and why healing collapses without it  [00:34:59] The "oomph" scale: testing cortisol at home and in the office  [00:36:27] The protocol in order: glandulars, adaptogens, and parasympathetic support, dosed on purpose  [00:43:30] Chronic fatigue, sinus biofilms, and the "house party" that becomes Lyme, EBV, and mold  [00:47:19] Parasites in America, and the TG/HDL ratio he says predicts heart risk  [01:00:02] Closing: where to find Dr. Zodkoy, and a teed-up follow-up on the healthcare system Resources Mentioned Tools & Products Biofilm Clear: Zodkoy's stated favorite combination product for breaking down biofilms, made up of natokinase, serrapeptase, lumbrokinase, and bromelain. He describes dosing at 2000 IU for patients under 50 and up to 4000 IU for patients over 50 with abnormal bloodwork. CP2305 (referenced in audio as "PC2305"): a Lactobacillus gasseri probiotic strain studied for stress and HPA-axis effects. True Laser: a home low-level laser device Zodkoy places over the vagus nerve. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) units: clip-on-the-ear devices Zodkoy uses for anxiety, sleep, depression, and (with pads placed over the bladder) interstitial cystitis relief. Adrenal glandular products (brand examples given: Adrenal Complex from Designs for Health, Adrenal from Orthomolecular, Cortex from Thorne Research), used at a fraction of label dose, one pill in the morning only, per Zodkoy's protocol. Adaptogens referenced: ashwagandha, holy basil, rhodiola, cordyceps. • Nervous-system support referenced: DHEA, L-theanine, GABA, phosphatidylserine, adrenoglandulars. Antimicrobials referenced for biofilm-associated infections: berberine, olive leaf, oregano. Nutrients referenced for liver-support migraine protocol: B vitamins, glutathione, NAC. Concepts referenced: HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal): the stress-response pathway Zodkoy targets before any other intervention. Applied kinesiology: manual muscle testing Zodkoy uses to distinguish emotional, physical, biochemical, parasitic, fungal, or toxic causes of a symptom. NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique), Emotion Code, Body Code: hands-on techniques used to locate and release stored emotional triggers.
