In this episode, we explore a new perspective on the often-overlooked importance of proper hydration. Going beyond the usual advice of drinking water, we delve into how consistent hydration supports the body's physiology, enhances healing in a biopsychosocial context, and helps maintain a sense of safety for the brain (aka brain retraining). The episode also provides practical tips and mindbody techniques to incorporate hydration into daily routines as a form of self-care and symptom management.

In honour of Chronic Illness Recovery Day, let's talk about what recovering from migraine looks like. The discussion emphasizes the fact that recovery is unique to each of us. I talk about what recovery means to me, the importance of seeing recovery through a wider lens, The key components of recovery (including three key questions to ask yourself and Dr. Schubiner's 7 Fs to avoid). We talk about the truth behind recovery stories and finally why my new favorite phase is "I'm 100% imperfectly recovered".
