The Headache 360 Migraine Podcast

A migraine podcast announcement might sound small, but for people stuck in chronic headache cycles, the right information at the right time can change everything. I’m Dr. Adam Lowenstein, and I’m sharing a quick public service message: I’ve launched a new show called the Migraine Treatment Guide Podcast to get more practical, trustworthy migraine education out to you faster. 

Behind the scenes, traditional production can bottleneck how much content we can publish. So I’m using modern tools, including AI-assisted production, to create episodes built from my book, my website, and years of clinical experience. The aim is straightforward: educational, easy-to-digest guidance that reflects what I tell my patients every day, without the wait that comes with guest scheduling and heavy editing cycles. 

You’ll find the Migraine Treatment Guide Podcast on the same major platforms as Headache 360, with links provided below. I also share an important reminder: headache and migraine treatment is highly individualized, and this content is not medical advice. Use it to broaden your knowledge, then talk with your physician before acting on anything you hear online. If you want to consult with our clinic directly, you can reach our Headache Surgery Center at 805-969-9004, email [email protected], or visit headachesurgery.com. 

If this kind of clear migraine treatment guidance helps you, please subscribe, share the show with someone who needs it, and leave a rating or review so more headache sufferers can find us.

Headache diagnoses often don't correspond to headache CAUSE and therefore can be confusing.  The diagnosis that is given to a patient is often made on a subjective basis, encompassing features of the headache such as timing and associated symptoms.  Dr. Lowenstein discusses the similarities in causes of headaches, which can often be successfully treated with nerve decompression surgery regardless of the diagnosis.

Dr. Lowenstein speaks with renowned headache neurologist Dr. Hossein Ansari from the University of California San Diego about the most advanced techniques for procedures in migraine headache care including nerve blocks and outpatient nerve decompression surgery.
