You walk into Home Goods and the candle aisle knocks you out. Your coworker lights a pumpkin spice candle. Someone cooks ground beef. Instant migraine. Or maybe you're the one smelling everything, and no one else does. This is odor sensitivity, and it's one of the most disruptive migraine symptoms. Here's what's happening: When you breathe in an odor, you're breathing in molecules that your liver has to detoxify and eliminate. Why does this happen? Think of your body like a toxin bucket. Your liver drains it by processing metabolic waste and environmental toxins. But if your liver doesn't have the nutrients it needs or the cellular voltage to run optimally, it slows down. The bucket fills up. When your bucket is full to the brim, even small exposures like laundry detergent, perfume, a candle, for example, tip you over into a migraine. You're hypersensitive because your toxin bucket is overflowing. When we drain that bucket by addressing blockers in the first and third principles, your liver runs faster. The bucket level drops. And suddenly, you can tolerate your friend's fabric softener, your husband's legendary cooking, and browsing Home Goods without fleeing. I've seen clients go from fleeing candle aisles to browsing for 30 minutes without noticing any smell. This isn't genetic as many migrainers think it is. It's an overflowing toxin bucket, and it can be turned around.

If you've been dealing with headaches or migraines and still haven't started treatment, you're not alone — and there are clear reasons why. In this episode, Dr. Taves breaks down 7 of the most common barriers that keep people stuck, like waiting for the next medication to work, feeling like it's “not a good time,” trying to pinpoint triggers first, or being told it's not a neck issue.He explains why symptom-management thinking delays real recovery, how migraines quietly steal your time and energy, and why taking action sooner often makes the path forward simpler. You'll leave with a clearer view of what's holding you back — and how to move toward lasting relief with confidence.Novera: Headache Center

Some hauntings linger in old stone houses. Others cling to attics, staircases, or forgotten rooms. But every so often, a haunting chooses a person—and once it does, it doesn't seem interested in letting go. For Sarah, the first encounter came before she even understood the concept of a ghost: a man sitting on the staircase of her family's 400-year-old mining house in Cornwall, two dogs quietly at his side. Solid. Present. Silent. She stepped around him as casually as a child walks past a family member. Only later did she realize no one else ever saw him. Touches. Lights. Migraines. Names spoken in her mind. Objects vanishing. Spirits confirmed by mediums who knew nothing of her experiences. And everywhere she went, the same unnerving feeling: She was being noticed. We explore the unsettling possibility that the haunting was never tied to a place at all…but to Sarah herself. #HauntedLife #SensitiveToSpirits #CornwallGhosts #ParanormalExperiences #LivingWithGhosts #ParanormalActivity #SpiritualAttachment #GhostEncounters #HauntedSinceChildhood #ShadowWatchers  Love real ghost stories?

Mary Jo had migraines for 35 years. She tried everything: tricyclics, beta blockers, anti-seizure meds, steroids, antidepressants, birth control pills, Botox, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, physical therapy. Nothing worked. Over the past year and a half, her migraines got so bad that she was waking up in the middle of the night, unable to function. She went back to the first medication she tried 20 years ago, Imitrex injections, because it was the only thing that would take the edge off. She was getting Toradol injections at her doctor's office. Missing work. Canceling on friends. She could only plan one social activity per week, and even then, she often couldn't go. She was 47 years old and felt like she'd missed out on 30 years of life. In this episode, Mary Jo shares what happened when she joined my 12-week Healing Migraines Naturally program. Within 11 weeks: She went from 3-5 migraines per week to a mild headache every 4-5 days She stopped using her Cefaly device entirely She hasn't touched Tums in 11 weeks (she used to eat them like candy) Her fatigue lifted, her family noticed the difference Her triggers (smoke, perfume, barometric pressure, wind, bright light) stopped causing migraines She lost weight consistently every week She drove 9 hours through a snowstorm without anxiety or a migraine She said it felt like she took 10 years off her migraine symptoms. This is what happens when you stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes. If you're ready to stop suffering and start healing, let's talk.

When headaches start shaping your decisions — what you say yes to, where you go, how you plan your day —they're so much more than "just a bad day." They're controlling your life. And you deserve better than living around your pain. Migraines affect 40% of the global population, yet they remain one of the most misunderstood and dismissed health conditions; many sufferers wait YEARS before seeking help, enduring an invisible illness that disrupts work, sleep, relationships, and daily routines — often without validations or answers. If you've tried everything for relief with no lasting results, this episode is for you. Recording this episode between Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't a coincidence. The holiday season—with its disrupted routines, travel stress, and dietary changes—creates the perfect storm for headaches and migraines. But these triggers aren't unique to the holidays; they show up during weddings, graduations, vacations, and any major life event. Understanding them now can help you year-round. In this episode of Get Back to Your Life®, VSI Neurologist and migraine specialist Dr. Ella Akkerman breaks down what's actually happening in your brain during a headache or migraine, why certain types require completely different treatments, and how small daily disruptions can trigger a painful cycle. Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own experience with migraines, Dr. Akkerman offers clarity, compassion, and a realistic path to relief. You'll learn: The science behind different headache types— tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches—and why identifying yours changes everything How hormonal fluctuations (especially during perimenopause and menopause) can amplify migraine patterns Why the holiday season creates the "perfect storm" for headaches—and how to protect yourself Practical prevention strategies beyond medication, from hydration to stress management When it's time to see a neurologist and what treatment options actually work Whether you're dealing with occasional tension headaches or chronic migraines that disrupt your daily life, this conversation offers validation, answers, and actionable steps toward real relief. Key takeaway: You don't have to live with headaches in this era of breakthrough treatments. But the longer you wait, the harder they become to treat. If headaches are interfering with your daily life, expert help is available.

What if the fear of your next migraine is the very thing keeping it alive?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme dives deep into the fear–migraine feedback loop, how the mere anticipation of pain can activate the same pathways as pain itself.We explore how chronic fear trains your brain to stay on high alert and how that hypervigilance quietly keeps your nervous system in “migraine mode.”You'll discover:

You've been taking Prilosec for years. Your doctor prescribed it for heartburn, or you bought it over-the-counter. It helped at first. But now you're also taking Tums multiple times a week. You feel bloated after eating. You can't finish a sandwich without discomfort. And your migraines? Still there. Here's what nobody tells you: Your heartburn medication is making your migraines worse. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prilosec and Nexium suppress your stomach acid. Your stomach is supposed to be pH 1. Strong enough to take paint off a car. That's how you absorb minerals from food. When your stomach acid is suppressed, a sphincter at the top of your stomach doesn't get the signal to close. It stays open and weakens over time. Meanwhile, you can't absorb the minerals every cell in your body needs. The box says: "Do not take longer than 14 days." I've had clients on Prilosec for 20 years. I just worked with two clients, both with daily head pain, both on PPIs for decades, both still experiencing heartburn even on the medication. We restored their digestive function, reduced their migraines significantly, and weaned them off Prilosec without rebound. Your heartburn and migraines are connected because both signal blockers in your body's ability to get nutrients to cells, clear waste, and restore vitality. If you're on a PPI and struggling with migraines, let's talk.

Today, the Migraine Doc shares the upper cervical secret that's quietly erasing chronic migraines for thousands who were told “it's just a migraine” and sent home with pills.In this episode, Brandon walks us through the seizure that started it all, the moment his brain literally shrank back to normal the second the infection was removed, and exactly why he believes the brainstem (protected by the top two neck bones) holds the real key to migraine freedom. We also talk about the TikTok explosion (one video gained him 40,000 followers in a single day), building a practice on pure violence of action, and the simple daily habits he swears by to keep his own nervous system bulletproof."Migraines are the most common disorder in the nervous system.

What if the diet you believe is healing your body is actually holding it hostage? In this episode, we sit down with Mariah Manazza — once a full-on homesteader living the traditional diet dream — as she reveals how raw milk, pasture-raised meats, and ancestral traditions weren't enough. In fact, they nearly broke her. Migraines, depression, numbness, leg pain, cysts — all symptoms she was told she'd have for life. Until she asked herself: “What am I really designed to eat?”Through 12 years of self-experimentation, Mariah discovered the under-told story of mucus-forming foods, the power of instinct over conventional nutrition, the radical simplicity of natural hygiene, and the terrain-centric truth that restored her to full symptom-free living.We dive into:Why some “gold-standard” ancestral foods might suppress healing instead of supporting itThe overlooked role of mucus in disrupting the terrain and masking underlying diseaseHow fruit, fasting, and a return to nature's laws became Mariah's doorway to healthThe nine pillars of natural hygiene she applies in everyday livingWhy instinct and internal feedback often trump labs, protocols, and popular dogmasWhether you're committed to the traditional diet movement, curious about natural hygiene, or simply seeking a broader perspective on healing — this conversation will invite you to question, reflect, and evolve.Join us as we explore what “nutrition” means, uncover the common threads across opposing approaches, and discover how going less might actually mean living more.Learn more about Mariah and her work at https://www.applediaries.com/.

Migraines can take over your life leaving you unable to work, parent, or even think clearly. In this inspiring testimonial episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia share one woman's story of lifelong migraines that began before kindergarten and how, after starting acupuncture and nutritional care, she experienced dramatic relief within just two months. Dr. Carling explains why migraines are rarely caused by one single factor and what truly drives lasting healing. From liver and hormonal imbalances to toxicity and nerve compression, she unpacks how addressing the root causes, not just the pain, can transform quality of life. You'll also hear why her gentle acupuncture style earned her the nickname "Angel Fingers," and why compassion and persistence matter as much as clinical skill in helping patients heal. In this episode: A powerful testimonial from a migraine patient who found lasting relief Why migraines often begin early and why that matters The most common root causes: liver stress, hormones, toxicity, allergies, and neck issues The role of acupuncture and nutrition in restoring balance Dr. Carling's personal story of overcoming her own migraines What makes her gentle acupuncture technique so unique   For full show notes, resources and links head to: https://vitalhealthcda.com/podcasts/ The Vital Health for You Podcast is for everyone.

When Rylee Clark began to complain about troublesome headaches in 2020 when she was 12 years old, the original thought was that these were Migraines. That did not turn out to be the case however, as Rylee was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma, a fast growing cancerous brain tumor. Rylee's parents Michelle and Mike and her twin sister Reese will talk about this diagnosis, which led to the far too short life of their beloved daughter and sister.

For years, Christine woke up every morning with pressure in her head, ears, and sinuses—and a deep knowing that something wasn't right. She tried everything: allergy medications, neti pots, air purifiers… even keeping her beloved dog out of the bedroom. But nothing helped. The headaches, bloating, and fatigue just wouldn't let up. Then, one quiet night of scrolling on Facebook changed everything. That's when Christine discovered the Women's Migraine Freedom™ Group—and what she thought was just curiosity turned into the beginning of her transformation. In this inspiring episode, we hear how Christine went from daily head pressure and weekly migraines to living migraine-free through The Freedom From Migraines Method®.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores how issues with the jaw and airway can contribute to headaches and migraines. He breaks down how restricted breathing, muscle tension, and misalignment in the jaw and neck can impact the entire headache system — and why these problems often go undiagnosed.Listeners will learn how airway obstruction and jaw tension can affect oxygen flow, stress responses, and nerve sensitivity, all of which may increase headache frequency and intensity. Dr. Taves also shares practical insights on how to identify if jaw or airway dysfunction could be at the root of your headaches and what can be done to address it.If you've ever wondered whether your jaw pain or nighttime breathing issues could be linked to your migraines, this episode is a must-listen.Novera: Headache Center

“No one tells you how much of yourself you'll lose and find again in the months after birth — in the hair on the floor, the ache in your neck, the silence between feedings, and the friends who make you feel human again.”From hair loss and neck pain to postpartum migraines, mom friendships, and even the truth about baby formula — this episode dives into the unfiltered realities of the fourth trimester that most moms never hear about.We'll talk about the why behind what's happening in your body: the hormone shifts that cause hair to shed, the neck and shoulder pain that comes from feeding posture, and why migraines often return with your first period. You'll learn how nutrition, supplements, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and movement can help you feel grounded again in your changing body.We'll also go deeper — into the emotional side of postpartum healing. Finding mom friends who truly get it, giving yourself permission to rest, and remembering that your health matters as much as your baby's. And for those navigating feeding decisions, we'll explore the differences between European and U.S. formulas (like Kendamil) so you can make confident, informed choices.This episode is for every mother standing in that in-between space — healing, adjusting, rediscovering herself. It's honest, nurturing, and full of real solutions for the season no one really prepares you for.

You know that foggy, spacey, can't-think-straight feeling that sneaks up on you out of nowhere?  You walk into a room and forget why you went there. You reread the same email three times. Words vanish mid-sentence. We call it brain fog, but what if it's not just about getting older, being tired, or "mom brain"? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real connection between brain fog and migraines — and why these symptoms are your body's way of asking for help, not proof that something's "wrong" with you.  You'll learn what's actually happening inside your inflammation network, what's triggering it, and how to start clearing the fog naturally. In This Episode, I'll Share: The truth about why brain fog and migraines often go hand-in-hand What your body is really saying when your brain feels overloaded The three hidden causes behind chronic inflammation — inducers, drivers, and genetic sensitivities Why prescriptions often quiet symptoms but miss the deeper imbalance Simple ways to start lowering inflammation and rebalancing your system Resources & Links ✨ Join me live on November 5th at 6:30 PM for my free training: "Why Every Migraine Pill, Diet, and Gadget Stops Working — And the #1 Root Cause No One Told You About."

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down why heat can trigger headaches and migraines — whether it's from exercising on a hot day, sitting in the sun, or just raising your body temperature.He explains how increased intracranial pressure, blood flow changes, dehydration, and stress on the neck and shoulders can combine to push your system past its threshold. You'll learn: 

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnneel/ Aching tightness, head-splitting migraines, breathing issues, and poor sleep quality — these are all signs of trapped tension in your body. The good news is that exercising one specific (and often forgotten) body part can help restore your well-being… I'm talking about your tongue… I first discovered how to unlock the power of whole-body tension relief when Dr. Neel Bulchandani visited my house and did some very unique body therapy on me (including putting his fingers into my mouth and my nasal cavity to 'adjust' those sections)!

This poem is from my first collection- The Call of the Unwritten this is available by clicking here .  The photo in the podcast episode image is from https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Strider_%28chapter%29 The quote from CG Jung is as follows  “We think we can congratulate ourselves on having already reached such a pinnacle of clarity, imagining that we have left all these phantasmal gods far behind.  But what we have left behind are only verbal spectres, not the psychic facts that were responsible for the birth of the gods.  We are still as much possessed by autonomous (forces) as if they were Olympians.  Today they are called phobias, obsessions, and so forth; in a word, neurotic symptoms.  The gods have become diseases; Zeus no longer rules Olympus but rather the solar plexus, and produces curious specimens for the doctor's consulting room, or disorders of the brains of politicians and journalists who unwillingly let loose psychic epidemics on the world.” (Jung, Cw 13, par. 54)  

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.

The holidays are supposed to be joyful. But when you have chronic migraines, this time of the year brings dread. Can you host family dinner without ending up in bed? Should you risk that glass of wine? How do you make plans when you can't trust your body? Here's what Dr. Leslie wants you to know: Most of her clients start feeling noticeably better within 4 weeks. If you started now, imagine where you'd be by Thanksgiving. What would it mean to host family with confidence? To enjoy pumpkin pie without panic? By Christmas, you could feel even better! Dr. Leslie's approach doesn't involve extreme restriction. She often increases the variety of foods her clients can eat, because most migraine sufferers are already avoiding half the menu. The question isn't whether you should wait until after the holidays. It's whether you want to spend another holiday season sitting on the sidelines. If you're ready to feel better by Thanksgiving and transform your 2026, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations to walk through your symptoms and create a plan. Schedule your free consultation with Dr. Leslie and stop dreading the holidays. 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?

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Eila Wolf, who specializes in functional neurology and Chinese medicine. We dig into how these fields come together to help people dealing with concussions, migraines, and chronic pain — and why traditional approaches often fall short.Dr. Wolf walks us through the science behind her methods, including how acupuncture, vestibular work, and eye movement assessments can reveal what's really going on in the brain after an injury. We also talk about her new book, The Concussion Breakthrough, and how it's helping patients who've been struggling with long-term symptoms finally find a path forward.If you want a deeper understanding of how the brain heals — and how functional neurology can help you or someone you know recover faster and more completely — you'll get a ton out of this conversation.Sponsors:Beyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Tecton Ketone Esters: https://tectonketones.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:46 Exploring Functional Neurology01:23 Concussions and Eye Movements02:09 Dr. Wolf's Book and Newsletter02:42 Starting the Conversation02:49 Dr. Wolf's Lecture at Northwestern03:40 Better PowerPoint Presentation Tips04:29 Challenges of Creating New Talks05:57 AI in Research and Presentation07:22 Cadaver Lab Experience in Toronto09:07 Acupuncture and Anatomical Research09:54 History and Acceptance of Chinese Medicine11:47 Skepticism and Evidence in Acupuncture13:41 Research Design Challenges17:18 Innovative Acupuncture Studies21:34 Psychedelics and Research23:15 Dr. Wolf's Journey into Acupuncture27:08 Favorite Herbs and Their Benefits29:16 Introduction to Functional Neurology33:18 Case Studies and Clinical Insights35:59 Sensory Tricks for Migraines38:13 Mechanisms Behind Sensory Tricks39:32 Light Sensitivity and the Midbrain40:45 Personal Experience with a Health App41:31 Understanding Light Sensitivity42:59 Case Study: Pupil Response and Eye Pain44:09 Eye Movements & Concussion Diagnosis47:06 Gaze Stability and Neurological Insights52:19 The Concussion Breakthrough Book55:45 Complex Cases in Functional Neurology01:04:27 Visual + Vestibular Integration01:14:55 Final Thoughts and Resources Flex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 132: The Effects of Creatine Supplements on Brain Function, Concussion, and Sports Performance with Dr Eric RawsonYouTube: https://youtu.be/g7f8yHNlawU Episode 311: Maximizing Athletic Performance with Neurology: Insights from Dr. Dylan SeeleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnuYQ-GJ6toConnect with Dr Wolf:The Concussion Breakthrough: https://www.amazon.com/Concussion-Breakthrough-Discover-Missing-Recovery/dp/B0FDBLVDVHWebsite: https://www.acupunctureneurology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ayla_wolf354Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

Do you hear a constant high-pitched ringing in your ear? Wake up at 3 AM unable to fall back asleep because that sound won't stop? Been told there's nothing you can do and you'll just have to "learn to live with it"? Dr. Leslie reveals the surprising connection between tinnitus and migraines, and why that ringing in your ears isn't necessarily permanent damage. For some migraine sufferers, tinnitus only appears during a migraine, acting as an early warning symptom before the pain hits. For others, it's there all the time, blamed on concert exposure or loud work environments from years ago. Here's what most doctors won't tell you: If your tinnitus flares and remits, it's probably not anatomical damage. It's a sign that the cells in your inner ear don't have what they need to function properly. Dr. Leslie breaks down her three principles: getting nutrients to cells, clearing metabolic waste, and restoring cellular voltage. When these cells don't have adequate nutrients, when trash is piling up inside them, and when their voltage is low, they can't pick up and transmit sound signals properly. That's when the ringing starts. If you'd like to understand what's actually driving your tinnitus and whether it can heal, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations. 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?

Send us a textYou're Not Broken. You're Just in a Broken System.After four years of coaching women physicians, I've noticed patterns; patterns that show up again and again in brilliant, capable doctors who feel like they're barely holding it together.If you've ever felt like a hot mess inside while everyone thinks you have it all figured out, this episode is for you.What You'll Discover in This Episode:1. We all feel like hot messes inside You think it's just you who's struggling to thrive in healthcare. It's not. Every woman physician I've coached feels this way. The problem isn't you; it's the system. But this belief keeps us isolated, thinking we're the only ones falling apart.2. We're all carrying trauma (even if we don't see it) Migraines. Panic attacks. That third glass of wine. Emotional numbness. These aren't character flaws; they're trauma responses. Our bodies weren't designed to hold this much stress for this long.3. We think we "should" know how to take care of ourselves. Here's the truth bomb: You were never taught self-care. You were taught self-sacrifice. Stop that sentence in your head that says "I'm a doctor, I should know better." Knowing medical facts doesn't mean you know how to care for yourself.4. The system doesn't value your unique gifts You have patients who say "I never want to see anyone else." You make a real difference. But the system treats you like a widget. When you don't fit in their box, you internalize the message that you're not valuable. That thought is killing us.5. We get in our own way "Who I am isn't enough. What I want doesn't matter. I need to be better before I deserve what I want." Sound familiar? This belief is the biggest stumbling block keeping you stuck.6. We won't set boundaries until we believe in our own value You think you have to prove your worth first, then you'll deserve boundaries. But that day never comes. The system profits from your lack of boundaries. You have to believe in your value NOW to set them.7. We think there's ONE right way to do everything Medical training taught us to look for the algorithm, the evidence, the one best answer. So we keep searching for the perfect planner, the ideal system, the magic app. Meanwhile, we take no action at all. The best system is the one that works for YOU.8. Change is uncomfortable—and we hate that You can rewire yourself. You can set boundaries. You can take better care of yourself. But it requires time you don't think you have and attention you don't think you have. Growth feels awkward. That's how you know it's working.9. The answer isn't out there. It's in here. I know you want a hack, an app, a planner that will fix everything. But no external system will replace doing your own internal work. You need tools and support, yes—but you have to do the work yourself.10. The doctors crushing it aren't doing it alone They hire help. They delegate. They're in communities. They have support systems you can't see. You only see what they're doing—not all the things they're NOT doing and not the he Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

Are you paranoid about drinking enough water? Constantly carrying that gallon jug with timestamps telling you how much to drink by 9 AM, by noon, by 3 PM? Dr. Leslie breaks down the myth that migraine sufferers need to drink excessive amounts of water to avoid dehydration triggers. The truth? That "drink 64 ounces a day" recommendation from the 90s came from nowhere. There's zero research behind it. And now people are being told to drink even more. Here's what's actually happening: When you flood your body with water, you create a relative mineral deficiency. Your kidneys struggle to filter all that excess fluid while trying to hold onto essential minerals like sodium and potassium. If you're already mineral deficient (especially if you take acid blockers like Prilosec or Tums), you're literally flushing minerals out through your urine. Dr. Leslie reveals what she's found working with hundreds of clients: When your body is in a state of health, you only need about 40 ounces of water per day, around four cups. Your natural thirst will guide you to drink what you need. Excessive thirst is actually a symptom. It usually means your body is trying to dilute an overload of metabolic waste and toxins. As her clients restore their health, their thirst normalizes, and they stop waking up to urinate multiple times per night. If you'd like to understand what your symptoms are actually telling you and address the root cause instead of force-feeding yourself water out of fear, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down his proven Three Spoke Framework — a simple but powerful way to understand and treat nearly every type of headache and migraine.He explains that while headaches can present in many confusing ways — from tension and hormonal migraines to aura, dizziness, or neck pain — most cases fit into three key categories:Mechanical causes – Issues in the neck, jaw, or shoulders that send pain signals into the head.Developmental factors – Airway, dental, or postural issues that affect how the body functions over time.Systemic influences – Hormones, gut health, stress, and inflammation that lower the body's pain threshold.Dr. Taves discusses how understanding these three categories helps identify the true source of pain and create a personalized, medication-free path to lasting relief. He emphasizes that most patients are not outliers — and with the right framework, long-term improvement is possible.Novera: Headache Center

If you can't leave the house without sunglasses, keep the curtains closed in your own home, or need to hide in a dark conference room at work just to get through the day, this episode is for you. Dr. Leslie breaks down what light sensitivity is actually telling you about your migraines, and why it's not something you have to live with forever. She explains how those tiny photons of light hitting your retina are physical stressors that push your "needle" down toward the migraine zone. When you don't have enough resilience and vitality to push back, even normal lighting becomes unbearable. Some days you can handle sunshine for hours. Other days, five minutes in the cart triggers a severe migraine. But there's a second piece: the hypersensitivity. When your body is overloaded with metabolic waste material and toxins, you become hypersensitive to everything. Light, sound, weather changes, smells, even minor social interactions, everything can become a trigger. If you'd like to understand where you stand within Dr. Leslie's three principles and why your body is generating light sensitivity and migraines, she offers free consultations.

Is Your Chiropractic Care Plan a Sales Pitch or a Health Strategy? Understanding the Difference | The Prime Podcast Have you ever left a doctor's office with a recommended care plan and felt a wave of skepticism? It's a common experience, especially in chiropractic, where the purpose behind a structured plan is one of the most misunderstood aspects of care. Patients often turn to social media forums, asking friends, "Does this seem right?" creating a massive gray area filled with confusion and misinformation. In Episode 343 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies pull back the curtain on this "taboo" topic. They explore why the concept of a care plan is so divisive and why clear communication between a doctor and a patient is the most critical factor for a successful health outcome. This episode is an essential guide for any patient who wants to feel empowered and confident in their healthcare decisions. The doctors break down the two fundamental philosophies of care you'll encounter: Symptomatic Care: The reactive, "quick fix" approach. This is for when you just want immediate pain relief for a headache or back pain and have no long-term goals. Vitalistic Care: The proactive, wellness-focused approach. This is for patients who want to address the root cause of their issues, prevent them from recurring, and achieve a higher standard of overall health. Using a brilliant "fruit salad vs. veggie salad" analogy, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie illustrate what happens when a patient's expectations don't align with a doctor's standard of care. They discuss why a chiropractor who is truly invested in your long-term wellness will always recommend a plan, and why "just come in when it hurts" can lead to a cycle of recurring problems and the false belief that "chiropractic didn't work." Furthermore, they tackle the thorny issue of insurance, explaining why the best chiropractors are often out-of-network and why that should be seen as a green flag indicating a commitment to wellness over "sick care." KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is Key: A successful healthcare experience depends on the patient and doctor being on the same page with their goals and expectations before care begins. Vitalistic vs. Symptomatic: Understand which philosophy your chiropractor follows. Are they focused on proactive wellness and fixing the root cause (vitalistic), or just reactive pain relief (symptomatic)? A Care Plan is a Standard of Care: A structured care plan is not a sales pitch; it is a doctor's professional recommendation based on your history, exam, and health goals to achieve lasting results. Don't Ask the Internet, Ask Your Doctor: If you have questions about your care plan, the most qualified person to answer them is the doctor who created it based on your specific case. Insurance Doesn't Dictate Health: The best healthcare providers often operate outside of insurance networks because they refuse to let a third party dictate a standard of care that is focused on sickness, not wellness.

More than 1 billion people worldwide and 12% of Americans live with migraines, a disabling neurological condition that disrupts sleep, work, and daily life Melatonin does more than regulate sleep; it also shields your brain at a cellular level by neutralizing damaging free radicals and reducing inflammation linked to migraines Research shows melatonin reduces headache frequency by 51%, intensity by 53%, and duration by 46%, offering a powerful natural alternative to standard pharmaceutical drugs Adults with episodic migraines taking 3 mg of melatonin before bed experienced the strongest improvements, often cutting their migraine frequency by half or more Melatonin's safety profile is superior to common drugs like amitriptyline, with fewer and milder side effects, making it a well-tolerated option for migraine prevention
