74. North, South, or Somewhere In Between: Where Is Your Health Needle?


Listen Later

Your migraines disappeared for 10 years... now they're back.

Did you get worse, or are you actually getting better?

This might sound crazy, but when migraines return after remission, it doesn't always mean you're declining. You might be moving through your migraine zone on your way to better health.

In this episode, I teach the compass needle analogy. This is the framework I use to evaluate every client's true health status. Your health is like a compass needle. North is optimal health. As the needle moves west and south, it passes through symptom zones you're prone to: allergies, heartburn, migraines, autoimmune disease, and beyond.

Here's what almost no one understands: You can be too sick to get migraines. Your needle can drop below your migraine zone into more severe illness. When I developed Graves' disease in 2012, I stopped getting migraines, not because I was healthier, but because I was too sick to generate them.

The crucial question: When symptoms disappear, did your needle move toward north (health) or south (decline)?

Medication can mask symptoms without moving your needle at all. Side effects often indicate your needle is dropping even further.

I also share the story of a client whose migraines improved during a bad cold, her body didn't have enough vitality to do both.

Plus, you'll hear about lessons from my work in addiction medicine where patients would suddenly get terrible colds around week three of recovery as their vitality returned.
