That yogurt you eat for breakfast… could it be silently setting you up for a migraine later?

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme unpacks the confusing role of dairy in migraine health — and reveals how one food group can both soothe and sabotage your nervous system.

We dive into the science and the ancient wisdom behind milk, cheese, yogurt, and more — so you can stop guessing and start listening to your body’s deeper cues.

You’ll discover:

💡 How dairy can hydrate the body and increase inflammation — depending on your unique constitution

💡 The four bioactive compounds in dairy that may be triggering your migraines (casein, lactose, hormones, histamines)

💡 What Traditional Chinese Medicine says about Dampness and how it clouds the brain–gut axis

💡 Practical ways to consume dairy (or avoid it) based on your body’s signals, digestion, and symptoms

We’ll also share:

✨ A powerful story of a woman who thought hydration was helping her — until it quietly made things worse

✨ Why the root of your migraines might not be in your head… but in your gut

This episode blends neuroscience and holistic medicine to help you make smarter choices — not out of fear, but out of deep understanding.

If you’ve ever felt foggy, bloated, or tired after dairy — or confused by conflicting advice — this episode is for you.
