Hello pod people!  In today’s podcast I interview Living Limitlessly founder, and lead organizer of the Headache and Migraine Summit, Marta Taylor.  The conference beings in just a few days (July 10 – July 17) and so Marta was gracious enough to do this interview to help more people know about its occurrence.  We discuss a number of issues related to non-medication oriented ways that headache and migraine sufferers might consider implementing into their treatment plan in conjunction with their doctor.  This podcast went on for about an hour and so I am breaking up the interview into two separate podcasts.  We touch on some important debates that exist in the headache and migraine community, and hope that you’ll provide your own thoughts in the comments below.  You can register for the free conference by clicking the link below.

Hey pod people!  In this episode I finally give you my initial assessment of how well CBD oil is helping or not helping my migraine pain.  If you missed the podcast I did on marijuana and migraine, then please go back and check it out.  CBD oil has a number of beneficial properties for chronic pain sufferers without any of the psychotropic effects that accompany THC based products.  After discussing that, I discuss an upcoming, online, and ENTIRELY free migraine summit that is occurring July 10 – 17.  You can register for it by using the link below.

What’s up pod people!  In this podcast we discuss some reasons why your migraines may become chronic.  There are a variety of explanatory paths to explore and keep track of.  Genetics certainly is the most common reason cited, but there could be other factors.  We discuss some things you should do to help isolate possible reasons your migraines have increased in frequency.  There is a great resource you can avail yourself of as well, just go to: headacheandmigrainenews.com.  We round out the conversation by discussing one thing all migraine sufferers should attempt to incorporate into their migraine treatment.  Spoiler alert: it’s exercise.  This week’s question is what kind of exercise can you incorporate into your daily and weekly life and when will you start?  Tell me on social media by tagging me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; just search The Migraine Guy.

Hey pod people!  In this podcast I explain who I am as a migraine sufferer and why I started my YouTube channel, this podcast, and a host of social media profiles.  I have about 10 years dealing with migraines, but only 3 of those years is a chronic migraine sufferer.  I’m a grad student, a weight lifter, a computer guy, and a fan of staying home!  Hopefully this little bit of info helps you know who I am, what I’m about, and what I’m planning for the future.  If you can relate, hit me up on social media (just search The Migraine Guy) and let me know!  And please remember that YOU are not alone.

Hello pod-ience!  I’m sure you’ve heard about the controversial new healthcare law, the American Healthcare Act (AHCA).  This law could have serious ramifications for chronic pain sufferers.  As a headache or migraine sufferer it could, thus, directly affect you if passed as is.  Now, the law should be substantially altered in the congress, but we – as the citizenry – should have an influence in what the final law looks like.  That can only happen if we – as the citizenry – make our voices heard.  If you care about chronic pain sufferers having affordable and decent health care, then this podcast is for you.  I do not take a side on the political issues that motivated this bill, nor do I need to.  Chronic pain sufferers should never be alone.

Hello podcast audience!  This episode we discuss what I wish I had known before I saw a doctor about my migraines.  I had originally hoped to continue the ‘Marijuana and Migraine’ podcast series from last week but my CBD oil has not arrived yet!  So, I’m doing something that would be beneficial for a new migraine sufferer to hear before they approach their primary care physician about their migraine.  As usual, if you would be so kind as to leave a 5 star rating on whatever podcast platform you use, then those platforms will rank this podcast higher and more awareness can be raised!  Additionally, I hope to hear from you in regards to our question of the day (at the end of the podcast).  Find me everywhere by searching ‘The Migraine Guy’ and until next time, remember, you are not alone!

Hello podcast audience!  In this – my very FIRST – podcast, I simply explain why I am expanding my content beyond YouTube to now include podcasts.  I see podcasts as giving me the ability to pursue two areas of interest to headache and migraine sufferers that are difficult to cover on my YouTube channel.  First, I will be able to get into a lot more detail than I would in a YouTube video for the reasons discussed in the podcast.  Second, I will be able to interview a much wider array of people.  If you suffer from headache or migraine conditions than this podcast is for YOU.  You can always listen at theheadachereview.com, but you can subscribe to this podcast on Google Play Music, iTunes, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, and Tunein as well; just search for ‘The Migraine Guy Podcast’.

Hello podcast audience!  In this podcast we begin to scratch the surface about the relationship between migraines and marijuana.  Specifically, we cover some of the basic terms, bio-chemical processes, and reasons for and against potentially incorporating marijuana into your overall migraine treatment plan.  I also explain my experimenting with marijuana based products to help alleviate my migraine pain.  Finally, I suggest some questions to ask yourself and some things to look forward to in future podcasts about this topic!   Links to some studies are below, and as usual, find me on social media by searching The Migraine Guy.

Hey pod-ience!  In this episode of the podcast we dive into a discussion about what it’s like to to be a male who gets chronic migraine.  Being a male with migraine is much less common than being a female with migraines.  Roughly two-thirds of migraine sufferers are women, but this still means that there are tens of millions of male migraine sufferers.  Explaining that you are a male who gets migraine can be confusing or disregarded by those to whom you are talking to.   What is my experience with this?  What are my tips if you find yourself in a position where you are alone?  I attempt to outline the essential actions we must take to overcome these obstacles, and more! Question of the day (reply on social media): what do you do when you start to feel alone?
