Over the next four weeks, we’re diving into a connection most people never think about: the link between your gut health and migraines.

If you’ve ever shrugged off constipation, bloating, or “just not going regularly” as normal, this series will be an eye-opener.

Your gut is your body’s highway for removing toxins. When it’s backed up or out of balance, the “traffic jam” can set off a cascade of inflammation that triggers migraines.

In the first episode of this series, I’ll walk you through:

• Why your bathroom habits are a telltale sign of what’s happening in your gut
• What’s normal when it comes to elimination (spoiler: it’s not 3 wipes and a rabbit pellet)
• How gut dysfunction could be fueling your migraine attacks
• Simple signs your stool is sending you every day, and how to read them

👉 By the end of this four-week series, you’ll understand the gut–migraine connection like never before and know exactly what steps to take to support migraine freedom. Tune in to part one today!

Last week, I had a conversation that really stuck with me. A woman was excitedly telling me about the thousands she’s saving for her dream trip abroad… yet minutes earlier, she admitted she wasn’t willing to invest in support for her chronic migraines, PCOS, gut issues, or exhaustion because it felt like “too much right now.”

This is a pattern I see all the time, and one I lived by myself. We’ll spend freely on phones, vacations, and daily “little” expenses, yet hesitate when it comes to truly investing in our health. But the hidden costs of not addressing the root cause of our symptoms add up fast financially, physically, and emotionally.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about:

• The “hidden health tab” you might be paying for without even realizing it
• Why small, constant health spending can easily surpass the cost of real solutions
• How cultural conditioning and quick-fix thinking keep us from long-term health investment
• The research showing how migraine support can save you thousands in lost productivity and medical costs
• How to reframe health spending as an investment in your future, not an optional splurge
  
  

If you’ve been putting your health on the back burner because it doesn’t feel urgent, or because you’ve convinced yourself it’s “too much”, this episode will challenge how you see your budget, your priorities, and your future self.

In today’s Q&A episode, I’m answering a powerful question from Marie, who wrote in to share that after a head injury, her doctor told her she’ll always have migraines. She’s tried medication after medication with no real relief and doesn’t know what to do next.

Marie, if you’re listening, you are not alone. And if you’ve ever been told something similar, this episode is for you.

Just because you’ve been told there’s no hope doesn’t make it true. I’m not here to dismiss doctors, but most traditional practitioners aren’t trained in nutrition or functional medicine, and that can leave huge gaps when it comes to chronic conditions like migraines.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why Western and Eastern medicine both matter—but need to be used differently
• What an inflammatory network breakdown is (and how it ties into chronic migraines)
• Why even a 30–50% improvement in your migraines could completely change your life
• And how all-or-nothing thinking might be holding you back from real progress

I’ve seen it happen too many times to count: women who thought they were “stuck” with migraines find relief, sometimes dramatic, sometimes gradual, but always worth it.

So let me ask you: What would 15 pain-free days a month mean to you? Because that’s not out of reach. In fact, it might just be the beginning.
