n this episode of Triggered with Dr. Leslie, I break down a popular piece of migraine advice about why so many women get migraines on Saturdays.

The usual explanation is that your “migraine brain” can’t handle sleeping in, shifting your routine, or delaying your coffee, but I don’t think that gets to the real issue. In this episode, I talk about the let-down effect, what I call false vitality, and why so many women crash the moment life finally slows down.

We talk about why I don’t want women stuck in a bubble-wrap lifestyle built around rigid routines, and why the real goal should be building the kind of resilience and vitality that lets your body handle normal life without tipping into a migraine.

In this episode of Triggered with Dr. Leslie, I break down a popular migraine graphic that I think perfectly captures one of the biggest problems in the migraine world right now.

So much of the messaging women are receiving teaches them to see themselves as having a defective “migraine brain,” to track every symptom, ration medication, and live in a constant state of hypervigilance. I talk about why I believe that mindset is not helping women heal, how it can actually reinforce fear and disconnection from the body, and why we need a very different framework if we want real recovery.

If you’ve ever felt like living with migraines has turned you into a full-time monitor of your own body, this episode will probably hit home.

In this episode, I break down a very popular migraine TikTok that talks about frequent migraines, rebound headaches, and how to rotate through different medications to manage attacks.

I want to be clear that I believe the creator means well, but this kind of advice reflects some of the biggest misconceptions in the migraine world. 

I explain why I do not believe medication truly “aborts” a migraine, why cycling through more and more tools can actually deepen the problem over time, and why real healing has to go beyond symptom suppression.

f you’ve ever felt trapped in the constant math of what to take, when to take it, and how not to overdo it, this episode will likely resonate

In this episode, I answer one of the most common questions women ask me: what is it that you actually do?

And the truth is, the reason that question is so hard to answer simply is because I do not start with a protocol, a supplement, or a one-size-fits-all solution.

I share a story from a conversation at my hair appointment that perfectly captures the problem with the way both conventional and alternative medicine often approach chronic symptoms: the tool gets picked before the right question is even asked.

In this episode, I explain the three core principles I use to understand why a woman’s body is struggling in the first place, and why real healing has to be built like a solid foundation before anything else can truly work.

In this episode of Triggered with Dr. Leslie, I react to a viral migraine “hack” involving little clips placed on the forehead.

This one says so much about the state of migraine care right now.

When women have been let down for so long by both conventional and alternative medicine, they become willing to try almost anything,even something that looks ridiculous on its face, because they’re desperate for relief.

In this episode, I talk about why hacks like this are not real solutions, why they spread so easily, and why migraine sufferers deserve far better than gimmicks, pranks, and temporary distractions from the real problem.

In this episode, I tackle one of the most talked-about topics in the functional and alternative medicine world: MTHFR.

So many women have been told that this one gene is the reason behind their migraines and other chronic symptoms, but the real story is much more nuanced than that.

I break down what MTHFR actually does, why I believe the conversation around it has gotten distorted, and why the bigger issue may have more to do with synthetic folic acid, digestion, and the body’s overall ability to get nutrients where they need to go.

If you’ve ever been told your genes are the problem, this episode will give you a much fuller picture.

In this episode, I talk about something I believe is one of the most important and most overlooked pieces of the migraine puzzle: what I call vitality draining mental and emotional dynamics.

These are the unconscious patterns so many women live inside of every day...

Perfectionism, over-giving, fixing, people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, constantly seeking validation. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

And they don’t just affect your emotions.

They create a real, ongoing drain on your body’s resilience.

I explain why you can be eating well, taking supplements, trying to manage your triggers, and still not getting the results you want if there’s a hole in the bottom of your vitality bucket.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and still not getting better, this episode may help you understand why.

 this episode, I sit down with Monica to talk about what life was like when she was living with chronic migraines for 18 years.

She shares what it was like to wake up in pain, push through work as a pastry chef, deal with severe vomiting, and miss family moments because of migraines, even after trying medications, neurologists, and countless ways to manage the symptoms.

We talk about what changed, what healing looked like for her in real life, and how she got to a place where she feels like she has her life back.

If you need hope that real change is possible, I think Monica’s story will really speak to you.

In this episode, I sit down with Jody to talk about what life was like when she was dealing with 15 to 28 migraines a month, daily headaches, dizziness, nausea, and overwhelming sensitivity to light, noise, and smells.

She shares the long list of things she had already tried, from Mayo Clinic and Duke to Botox, triptans, Topamax, Ajovy, specialists, and countless other treatments, before she found a different path. We talk about what changed, what healing looked like for her in real life, and how she went from spending days in a dark room to building a successful baking business and getting her energy, confidence, and freedom back.
