Ep. 6 Master Your Migraines with Dr. Tanya Paynter


Listen Later

Have you ever had an awful headache? What about a headache where you become sensitive to light and sound, and maybe even get nauseous to the point where your whole day is ruined? Those headaches are called migraines, and if you’ve ever had one of them, you know they are not fun. On today’s episode, we talk to Dr. Tanya Paynter, the Founder of Migraine Mastery, a 24-week online program designed to significantly reduce migraines and help women better manage their symptoms so they can get back to saying “yes” to life. We also discuss the science behind migraines, including the role that hormones, adrenals, genetics, and histamine play, as well as actionable next steps on how to begin healing them.

Dr. Tanya Paynter graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology and a minor in Inorganic Chemistry before attending medical school at Bastyr University. She graduated in 2012 with her Naturopathic Medical Degree and has been treating women with chronic migraines for almost a decade. Tanya has suffered from chronic headaches herself for nearly 20 years, so this became her calling to help women find a way to manage their migraines more effectively.
