S2E4 - Headaches & Migraines - What are the causes?


Listen Later

Show Summary: "To people who are chronic headache sufferers, believe in your healing. Don't just give up hope and feel like you have to live like this." 

Are you one of the many people who suffer from chronic headaches and constant migraine? They are so persistent that you accept them as a part of your life, no matter how debilitating and frustrating they are. Even your family and coworkers see it as something normal to you, and you start to believe that it will never go away.


Taking pills like candies or rubbing balms on your forehead can definitely soothe you. But it doesn't address the root cause. That's why in this episode, we help you identify the underlying causes of chronic headaches and constant migraine with Dr. Meg Mill, a functional medicine practitioner who helps people restore mental clarity and reclaim energy without drugs or injections. 


Listen carefully as Dr. Meg shares actionable tips and inexpensive tools you can use to start eliminating the pain. Know what Juanique and Gina's personal experiences are and what they did to stop their headache struggles. Don't forget to share this with your loved ones who want to free themselves from the continuous discomfort of migraines.

  • Heavy metals like lead and cadmium found in our homes and things we use daily trigger migraines. 


Show Highlights


Do antibiotics and gut flora play into headaches and migraines?


Dr. Mill 12:58  


  • Gut flora is a factor, an independent trigger for headaches. So if you do have some dysbiosis, or different things going on, that can be something that we can dig in.


What would be some of your recommendations for getting a good night's rest for listeners who suffer from migraines?


Dr. Mill 14:12 


  • I recommend turning off all full-spectrum lights an hour or two before bed. Try to keep your phone in another room. 


Have you found any supplements to be helpful for people when they have an acute headache or migraine?


Dr. Mill 32:04 


  • Peppermint oil can relieve an acute migraine. Magnesium is also very helpful in preventing headaches.
