  • Can Fasting Trigger or Relieve Migraines?
    May 7 2025

    Can skipping meals actually trigger your migraines—or could fasting be a tool for healing? In this episode, we explore one of the most controversial topics in the migraine world: fasting. While it’s praised for benefits like reduced inflammation, balanced blood sugar, and mental clarity, fasting can also backfire—especially for women or those already walking a fine line with their health.

    Drawing on recent studies, real-world client stories, and ancient practices like Ramadan fasting, we break down the biological mechanisms that connect fasting to both headache relief and headache onset. From blood sugar crashes to hormone imbalances, you’ll understand exactly when fasting might help—and when it might make things worse.

    What you’ll learn:

    • Why fasting can either reduce or trigger migraines—depending on how and who you are.
    • The science behind fasting headaches, including blood sugar dips, dehydration, cortisol spikes, and caffeine withdrawal.
    • How fasting affects women differently, especially those with hormonal issues, PCOS, or fertility goals.

    If you’ve ever skipped a meal and ended up with a pounding head—or wondered if intermittent fasting could help your migraines—this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been craving. Spoiler: fasting is not one-size-fits-all.
