Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett, MD

Hi, I’m Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett, MD —a Stanford-trained neurologist, founder of Migraine Relief Code, and a lifelong advocate for true healing.

When I was in private practice treating people with headaches, one question kept coming up that always left me uneasy:

“Why am I having these headaches in the first place?”

Mainstream medicine didn’t have a satisfying answer to that. I would usually mumble something vague about genetics and environment… and then hand over a prescription. But deep down, that never felt right. Over time, that discomfort became like a thorn in my shoe—something I just couldn’t ignore.

Thankfully, we live in an exciting era of neuroscience and functional medicine. Today, we understand that when someone has migraines, their brain cells are firing abnormally—often because they’re starved of the nutrients and energy they need or overwhelmed by inflammation and toxins that block healthy function.

New tools and advanced testing methods can now identify exactly what’s interfering with your brain’s performance. And when you address those root causes, you can dramatically reduce migraines—and reclaim your mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall wellbeing.

That’s why I created Migraine Relief Code. I wanted to move beyond prescriptions and share the real healing science with women everywhere. Through my online courses, I teach you how to support your brain on a cellular level—how to nourish it, calm it, and help it thrive.

I studied neuroscience at Smith College, attended medical school at the University of Colorado at Denver, and completed my neurology residency at Stanford University. For 20 years, I ran a private practice in the south side of Denver, where I cared for thousands of patients—and grew a thriving clinic with a team of wonderful physicians.

But my calling as a healer eventually led me in a new direction. I stepped away from traditional practice to focus on using the best of what modern science has to offer—functional medicine, biohacking, and cutting-edge genetic testing—to help people get real results.

One of the most powerful tools I use today is functional genomics, a revolutionary approach to genetic testing. Unlike typical tests, this method identifies which systems in your body need support, allowing you to create precision solutions that work with your biology, not against it.
