Have you ever been led to believe that your migraines are caused by an imbalance of sex hormones, simply because your migraine pain tends to show up or intensify around your menstrual cycle? You’re not alone. Many women believe this, and in turn, seek out solutions to fix the hormones they feel are triggering their pain… sex hormones. However, the conventional route of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or the birth control pill as our primary "fix" can be misguided. 

 

In this episode, we’re diving into why these methods only offer short-term relief instead of long-lasting results and root cause solutions. The reason being… they fail to follow the hormone hierarchy. By understanding the hormone hierarchy and addressing hormones in the RIGHT order, you can feel empowered with holistic and sustainable solutions for relief.
