EPISODE 189: Could your headaches be trying to tell you something? Well, believe it or not, the type of headache you suffer from can give you vital information on what’s wrong with your body. 

This week, you and I will be diving into a new way of thinking about headaches that goes beyond quick fixes and pain relievers.  

And to do so, I’ve invited an expert on today’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast, the amazing Dr. Scott Vrzal.

Dr. Vrzal is a chiropractor who specializes in understanding headaches through structural and nutritional lenses. His own experience with chronic headaches as a teen athlete led him into chiropractic care, eventually developing insights into the seven types of headaches and writing The Headache Advantage.

In this episode, Dr. Vrzal and I will be discussing the seven types of headaches, the relationship between unbalanced blood sugar and hormone-related headaches in women, how our diet can help alleviate our headaches, and more.

Are you ready for this?

Let’s dive in!
