Decode Your Migraine
My new book brings you the DNA research behind migraine — and the personalized roadmap to relief it makes possible.
Much of what we’ve all been taught about migraine turns out to be myth. Decode Your Migraine reveals the real root causes, backed by the latest genetic research, and lays out a clear, practical plan for lasting relief.
The Top 3 Myths Holding You Back From Recovery
Most of what you’ve been told about migraine gets in the way of actually solving it. Here’s what the DNA research is revealing instead.
Myth: Pop a pill and power through.
Reality: masking the pain doesn’t address what’s actually driving the attacks — and can leave your brain more reactive over time.
Myth: Just avoid your triggers.
Reality: triggers aren’t random — they’re signals pointing to one of four underlying biological patterns. Avoidance treats the symptom, not the cause.
Myth: Meds are more effective than lifestyle.
Reality: research shows biology-based lifestyle changes can outperform medication alone — especially when they’re matched to your specific Headache Type.
The Four Headache Types
Every migraine brain is different. DNA research reveals four distinct patterns behind chronic headaches — which one is yours?
🧠 Brain Chemistry
How your neurotransmitters fire — and misfire.
🔥 Inflammation
When damage in your gut sets off inflammation that reaches your brain.
⚡ Energy Production
How well your brain cells make and use fuel.
❤️ Vascular
How stable blood sugar and steady nutrient delivery keep your brain fueled.
The Foundations of Recovery
Decode Your Migraine walks you through how to support each one — here’s a preview of what’s inside.
- Hydration — the simplest lever with an outsized impact on brain function.
- DNA-based nutrition — eating in a way that matches how your body is actually wired to process food.
- Top 3 labs — the specific bloodwork that reveals what’s really going on.
- Foundational supplements — the core nutrients most migraine brains are missing.
- Nervous system regulation — calming the system that amplifies pain signals.

Questions?
Here’s what you need to know
Can my doctor order the genetic testing for me?
No, this type of genetic testing isn’t something your doctor can order—it’s a breakthrough approach developed by Dr. Barrett. As a Stanford-trained neurologist with decades of experience, she created this tool to fill a gap in traditional migraine care. It’s available exclusively through her online courses to people all over the world, making it a bold new way to finally get answers your doctor can’t provide.
Does insurance cover the testing?
No—and that’s actually a good thing. Because insurance doesn’t pay for it, they also can’t access your results or use them against you when making decisions about health insurance or long-term care coverage.
Your results are 100% private and belong only to you. You decide if, when, and with whom to share them. This gives you the freedom to explore the genetic drivers of your migraines without worrying about insurance companies looking over your shoulder.
I had genetic testing done through 23andME - will that work?
Great question—and the answer is no, not for this program.
While 23andMe offers general ancestry and health information, it doesn’t include the specific genes or SNPs we focus on in this course—the ones that directly influence migraine pathways like serotonin signaling, detoxification, inflammation, and mitochondrial health.
The testing used in this course is more comprehensive and clinically relevant. It was designed specifically to uncover the root causes of migraines at the cellular and biochemical level, so we can create a personalized plan to support your brain.
Don’t worry—ordering the right test is simple, and I walk you through it step-by-step once you enroll.
Could I find out that I have a terrible disease that I'd rather not know about?
No. These tests are migraine-specific—they only look at genes that have been shown in research to influence migraine risk and treatment response. You will not learn about unrelated diseases, scary diagnoses, or unexpected family relationships.
The focus is 100% on helping you understand your unique migraine biology—nothing more, nothing less.
I can't change my genes, so why does testing matter?
Your genes are like a cookbook — the recipes never change, but lifestyle acts like sticky notes that tell your body which ones to use. Through processes like DNA methylation and histone modification, your daily choices decide which genes are “served” more often and which stay on the shelf. This is called “epigenetics,” and this is why you need accurate information about what your body needs you to do.
Can I use FLEX/HSA Funds?
Yes, you can use your HSA or FSA funds to pay for the course. Many participants have used their Health Savings or Flexible Spending Accounts without any issues.
If you need a detailed receipt or documentation for reimbursement, just let us know—we’re happy to provide it.
Will Dr. Barrett be my Neurologist?
No, she won’t be acting as your neurologist or prescribing medication.
Her role in this program is to educate and guide you on how to access and use advanced testing—like genetic and functional labs—that are available without a doctor’s prescription.
You’ll learn how to interpret your own data and make informed decisions about your health, but your doctor remains your primary medical provider and the one responsible for your prescriptions and clinical care.
Could I be denied medical insurance or long-term care insurance based on my results?
No. Your results are completely private and are not shared with your insurance company or anybody else.
What exactly does this genetic testing look for?
This type of testing is based on the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have been done over the past decade that have revealed which systems in the body are linked to migraines, such as brain chemistry, inflammation, energy production, and vascular function.
How does genetic testing help me manage my migraines better than medications?
Medications are one-size-fits-all, whereas genetic testing shows you exactly which systems in your body need support. For example, certain supplements, nutrients, and lifestyle changes are known to support different systems. Various devices and labs tell you how those systems are working, so that you can see objective improvements in how those systems are functioning.
Do I need a doctor to help me interpret my results?
Your doctors are unlikely to be familiar with this type of testing. All of the information you need is in the Migraine Relief Code Online Course, and Dr. Barrett and her team are happy to answer any questions you may have as well.
Can genetic testing tell me which medications are likely to work best for me?
Yes, your genetics tell you which medications are likely to be more effective than others, and you can certainly ask your doctor if those medications would be a good choice for you.
What other conditions or health risks might show up other than migraine?
You will find out about which neurotransmitter genes might be linked to symptoms like anxiety or depression. You will also find out which nutrients and foods your body does and does not process well. You will learn how your body clears out toxins and what could be causing fatigue or brain fog. You will also find out if you are prone to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and dementia.
Which genes are most often linked to migraine?
There are nearly 200 of them! Most of the genes regulate neurotransmitters, inflammation, energy production, or vascular function.
