TITLE: What I Wish I Would Have Known About Migraines

If you’ve ever dealt with migraines—or love someone who does—you know they can completely hijack your life. In this episode of The Original Medicine Podcast, MG McCullough gets personal about the journey through migraines and how Classical Chinese Medicine has offered a different way to understand and treat them—not just patch the symptoms.

MG shares insights from clinical experience and lived experience, unpacking how tools like acupuncture, lifestyle shifts, and herbal wisdom can get to the root cause of migraine patterns. We also dive into why pharmaceuticals and supplements might only be scratching the surface, and how things like cannabis—while trendy—can actually make certain conditions worse over time by depleting vital yin energy.

This is a powerful conversation for anyone who's tired of chasing temporary relief and ready to start understanding what's really happening beneath the surface.
