Bananas might look harmless, but for migraine-prone brains, they could be a hidden trigger—or a quiet healer.

The Migraine Heroes Podcast is your guide to understanding your brain, your body, and the root causes behind your pain. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, this show brings together real-world data, neuroscience, and Eastern medicine wisdom to help you move beyond short-term fixes.

For women, men, and children who suffer from migraine disease, Migraine Heroes is your go-to resource for understanding, managing, and overcoming migraine attacks.

We cover all types of migraines and related headaches, including primary and secondary migraines, chronic migraines, and cluster migraines. We dive deep into the complexities of migraine with aura and migraine without aura, as well as rarer forms like hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, and acephalgic migraine (silent migraine). Our discussions also extend to cervicogenic headaches, ice pick headaches, and pressure headaches, which often mimic migraine or contribute to overall migraine burden.
