Did you know that Migraine is the leading cause of disability in women under 50?
STOP POWERING THROUGH YOUR HEADACHES
So many women with migraines are "powering through..."
Gotta get the kids to soccer? Take some ibuprofen.
Work deadline coming up? Pull out the prescription meds.
I'm not judging ~ I totally get it, because I've done those things too.
The problem is that when you get to the point where you're having 3 or more headache days a week, then your brain starts to physically change. Some areas get bigger, some get smaller, and the result is that the brain becomes “primed” to have more and more headaches... We call this process “chronification,” and once your brain has changed in this way, it’s much more difficult to get your headaches under control.
Instead of powering through, we need to listen to the pain signals and figure out how to help the brain actually heal.
Does the brain need different nutrients? Fix your gut health? Do we need to remove toxins? Rewire your nervous system out of fight or flight mode?
We can use modern lab and genetic testing to figure out exactly what we need to do in order to heal, and then we can monitor our bodies with devices to be sure we are making that happen.
