What if your migraine relief plan started not at the doctor’s office—but in your kitchen? In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores how batch cooking can become a powerful ally in migraine prevention and recovery.

You’ll discover:

🍴 Why erratic eating and “stress snacks” silently fuel migraines—and how batch cooking puts you back in control

🍴 The science behind blood sugar, histamine build-up, and how frozen meals can either help or hurt your brain

🍴 The surprising Eastern wisdom of “food as daily medicine”—and how warm, nourishing dishes support long-term healing

🍴 A migraine-friendly approach to meal prep that saves energy while protecting your nervous system

Batch cooking isn’t just a time-saver—it’s a healing strategy. By stabilizing blood sugar, reducing stress-triggered food choices, and honoring your body’s rhythm, you can build a safety net that prevents attacks before they start.

You’ll also hear the overlooked truth most batch cooking blogs never mention: the histamine clock—and why freezing your meals right away may be the missing link in your migraine management.

✨ Your kitchen could be your strongest line of defense against migraine flare-ups. Tune in and learn how small, practical shifts in meal prep can create big relief.

For women, men, and children who suffer from migraine disease, Migraine Heroes is your go-to resource for understanding, managing, and overcoming migraine attacks.

We cover all types of migraines and related headaches, including primary and secondary migraines, chronic migraines, and cluster migraines. We dive deep into the complexities of migraine with aura and migraine without aura, as well as rarer forms like hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, and acephalgic migraine (silent migraine). Our discussions also extend to cervicogenic headaches, ice pick headaches, and pressure headaches, which often mimic migraine or contribute to overall migraine burden.

Does your phone feel like both your lifeline and your biggest migraine trigger?

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, we dive into the hidden ways screen time overstimulates your brain — and how to reduce migraine risk without quitting your job, ditching your smartphone, or cutting yourself off from the online world.

Blending Western neuroscience with Eastern healing wisdom, host Diane Ducarme unpacks the physical, mental, and emotional costs of our screen-saturated lives — and how to reclaim your brain’s balance in a digital age.

You’ll discover:

🤳 How blue light, notifications, and poor posture trigger the migraine cascade

🤳 Why your nervous system reacts differently to screens when you’re already migraine-prone

🤳 Eastern perspectives on overstimulation, “scattered Qi,” and how to restore harmony

🤳 Practical hacks — from yellow-tinted glasses to “digital walks” — that help you stay connected without sacrificing your health

This isn’t about a total digital detox — it’s about using screens in a way that serves you, not the other way around.

You’ll also hear inspiring real-life examples of migraine heroes who’ve reshaped their screen habits and found more clarity, energy, and pain-free days.

Kombucha has been marketed as a bubbly, probiotic-rich health elixir — promising gut healing, detox, and a boost for your immune system. But for some migraine sufferers, this fizzy drink might be doing more harm than good.

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme blends Western science with Eastern healing wisdom to uncover the surprising ways kombucha can both support and sabotage migraine recovery. You’ll hear the real-life story of a woman whose daily kombucha habit was quietly prolonging her migraine hangovers — and the transformation she experienced when she stopped.

You’ll discover:

☘️ How kombucha impacts your gut, blood sugar, and inflammation — and why that matters for migraine

☘️ The hidden risks: candida, SIBO, histamine overload, and “slow triggers” that can quietly build migraine susceptibility

☘️ Why Traditional Chinese Medicine views kombucha’s cold, fizzy nature as disruptive to digestion and brain clarity

☘️ How to decide if kombucha belongs in your migraine healing plan — and how to listen to your body’s signals

Kombucha isn’t universally good or bad — it’s a functional food that should be matched to your body’s unique terrain. This episode will help you sort through the hype, understand the science, and make an informed choice for your migraine journey.
