The Tiny Part of Your Brain That's Causing Your Migraines
If you've ever felt like your migraines are completely random... like they show up whenever they want no matter what you do... this episode is going to change the way you think about what's happening in your body.
Today we're talking about a tiny part of your brain called the hypothalamus. And understanding it might finally explain why stress, sleep, hormones, and food ALL seem to trigger your migraines.
Spoiler: it's because they all run through the same place.
In this episode:
- What the hypothalamus is and why it's the "control center" of your body
- Why the hypothalamus is now believed to be the starting point of a migraine (not just a trigger response)
- How the hypothalamus works like an alarm system and what happens when it gets overwhelmed
- Why everything seems to trigger your migraines (and why the same food can trigger you one week and not the next)
- The truth about prodrome symptoms like yawning, cravings, and mood changes (they're not predicting the migraine... they ARE the migraine)
- The connection between chronic inflammation and an overloaded hypothalamus
- Why reducing your toxic load takes pressure off your hypothalamus
