Welcome to the Joyful Energetic Mama Podcast Episode 16: How I Accidentally Healed Myself From Migraines.

This is my personal account of how I healed myself from migraines and how it was purely accidental in nature.

In this episode:

• Learn about the difference between chronic migraine and episodic migraine,
• Discover what common food triggers and habits can cause you to have migraine,
• I share how my rock bottom moment ignited me to want a healthier life,
• Learn the biggest misconception that women have when it comes to nutrition,
• Find out how the practice of looking inwards helped me to gain perspective,
• The specific steps I took to create more energy in my life (and accidentally heal myself from migraines)
• Discover how practicing gratitude helps you to relieve stress, and
• Learn the one thing to keep in mind on your health and fitness journey.

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and what I share in this episode is not meant to be taken as medical advice.  This is my personal experience of how I accidentally healed myself from migraines. Please speak to your healthcare provider if you are interested in making changes to your current treatment.
