67. Here's Why Drinking Too Much Water Is Making Your Migraines Worse


Listen Later

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.
