In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down why heat can trigger headaches and migraines — whether it’s from exercising on a hot day, sitting in the sun, or just raising your body temperature.

He explains how increased intracranial pressure, blood flow changes, dehydration, and stress on the neck and shoulders can combine to push your system past its threshold. You’ll learn:

 🌡️ Why heat and exercise often trigger migraines
 💧 How hydration and electrolytes really factor in
 💪 The surprising connection between the neck, jaw, and shoulders and heat sensitivity
 🧘 Practical tips for reducing risk — from warm-up strategies to movement habits that build tolerance

The key message: your headaches aren’t random — and avoiding heat isn’t the only answer. Once you address the underlying neck problem, your body can handle more without pain.
