Menopause Mastery

Why Women Get More Migraines: The Hidden Hormone Connection


Listen Later

Tired of doctors dismissing your migraines as "just stress"? It's time to get real answers.

In this game-changing episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Meg Mill, a functional medicine expert who transformed her own health journey from chronic gut issues to helping women worldwide solve their migraine mysteries.

If you're one of the millions of women suffering from debilitating headaches and migraines—especially if they're getting worse during perimenopause—this conversation will finally connect the dots you've been missing.

Dr. Meg reveals the shocking truth about how your shifting hormones, particularly estrogen's wild fluctuations, are triggering a cascade of histamine reactions that could be behind your migraines, anxiety, gut issues, and even those mysterious middle-of-the-night wake-ups.

From the gut-brain-hormone connection to why that "healthy" avocado toast might be making your headaches worse, this episode dives deep into the root causes conventional medicine completely ignores. Plus, discover why your hormone metabolites (not just your hormone levels) could be the missing piece of your migraine puzzle.

What You'll Learn:

-The real difference between tension headaches and migraines (and why it matters)

-How estrogen dominance creates a histamine storm in your body

-Why perimenopause makes migraines worse—and what you can do about it

-The 16-hydroxy estrogen metabolite pattern Dr. Meg sees in hundreds of migraine patients

-Simple food elimination strategies to identify your triggers

-Why nervous system regulation is non-negotiable for healing

If you're ready to stop masking symptoms and start addressing the root causes of your migraines, this episode gives you the roadmap to reclaim your life from chronic pain.
