  • Are You Making This #1 Electrolyte Mistake?
    Jun 2 2025

    Do electrolytes really make a difference?

    Think you’re doing everything right to stay hydrated, but still battling chronic migraines?

    That’s because hydration might not be the whole story.

    In this week’s episode, I’m digging into the real role electrolytes play in your body, beyond just sipping water or tossing some salt into your drink.

    From common mistakes (like relying on generic powders) to the science behind what I call Electrolyte Symmetry, I’m breaking down what your brain and body actually need to feel balanced, supported, and migraine-free.

    If you’re tired of Band-Aid fixes and want real migraine relief, you won’t want to miss this!

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why drinking plain water might be making your symptoms worse, not better

    • Is salt the answer… or part of the problem? I’m clearing up the confusion.

    • The hidden connection between electrolyte imbalance, mood swings, migraines, and brain fog

    • Why tossing back sports drinks and powders doesn’t cut it, and what your body actually needs.

    • How your stress levels, workouts, and even your zip code affect your electrolyte needs

  • When Fear of Failure Makes You Settle for Less Pain, Not No Pain
    May 26 2025

    Physically exhausted from searching for lifelong migraine relief?

    But what happens when you’re emotionally exhausted, too?

    Chasing one treatment after another, holding onto hope, only to be let down again… 😣

    It’s enough to make anyone want to throw in the towel and accept that migraines are just part of life.

    But they don’t have to be.

    🎧 This week’s podcast episode is all about that moment – the one where disappointment and fear almost convince you to stop trying… and how I found my way through it. 🎧

    This is one of my most personal podcast episodes yet, where I’m unpacking the rollercoaster of trying everything: chiropractors, massage, physical therapy, medications, supplements… and still ending up in pain.

    I’m revealing the shift that helped me break free from constant migraine management, and how it might be the missing piece in your journey, too.

    If you're stuck in that same hope-disappointment cycle, this one is a must-listen!



    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • The emotional toll of “maybe this will work…” and what it really costs you

    • Why managing pain isn't the same as healing it, and how most people miss the difference

    • $5K on physical therapy, $600 on a chiropractor – what I learned the hard (and expensive) way

    • How hope-fatigue and treatment trauma can keep you stuck more than the migraines themselves

    • The exact visualization technique I used to stay grounded when I was ready to give up

    • What finally helped me move from managing migraines to finding actual relief, and how you can too

    Resources:

    • If you’re tired of the trial-and-error rollercoaster and ready for a fresh start… The Freedom From Migraines Method® Membership is a low-risk, high-support way to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root cause. It’s your step-by-step path to real relief with expert guidance, powerful tools, and a community that gets it.

  • How Helpful Are Inflammation Tests?
    May 19 2025

    Have you ever left a doctor’s office with “normal” test results in hand… but feeling anything but normal?

    If your body’s been screaming at you while your labs whisper “you’re fine,” this episode is a must-listen.

    This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most frustrating experiences migraine sufferers face: being dismissed because inflammation markers didn’t flag red.

    We’re diving deep into the world of inflammation testing; what it actually shows, what it misses, and why low-grade inflammation (the kind that often slips under the radar) can still wreak havoc on your health. Especially if you’re dealing with chronic migraines, mystery symptoms, or that gut feeling that something’s just not right... even if no one else sees it.

    You’ll walk away from this episode understanding why your tests might not reflect your reality and how to start listening to your body instead of chasing elusive answers in your labs.

    Tune in to finally feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward real healing.



    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why “normal” inflammation test results don’t always tell the whole story, and how they often miss low-grade inflammation that can drive chronic migraines.

    • The surprising truth about how things like stress, supplements, or even a good day can skew inflammation test results.

    • The six foundational areas of the Migraine Freedom™ Protocol that help reduce inflammation without relying on lab work alone.

    • Why generalized health advice can backfire, and how personalized, aligned lifestyle shifts lead to real change.

    • What FFMM® member Nancy’s 30+ year migraine journey reveals about symptom patterns, testing gaps, and the power of listening to your body.

    Resources:

    • And if you’re ready for deeper support… the Freedom From Migraines Method® Membership is your next step. It’s your all-in-one path to daily relief, long-term healing, and the expert guidance you need to finally feel like yourself again. Click here to join today!
