About this listen

Welcome to today’s Success Spotlight episode of Migraine Freedom™ Your Way, where you get a break from me talking to hear from women like you who have overcome the challenges of migraines.

This week, we’re diving into Beth’s story—a science teacher, a lifelong learner, and someone who knows firsthand what it’s like to battle chronic migraines.

Beth has been teaching science for 28+ years, but despite her sharp understanding of biology, she faced a migraine struggle that seemed impossible to overcome.

Like many women in perimenopause—where the average woman is juggling seven medications—Beth found herself caught in the cycle of prescriptions, monthly injections, Botox treatments, and endless neurologist visits. At one point, her migraines had reached a staggering 22 days per month.

After enduring a grueling 17-day migraine earlier this year, Beth knew something had to change. That's when she turned to the Freedom From Migraines Method® program.

At first, she hesitated because she had already spent so much on treatments that hadn’t worked. But as a biology teacher, when we started talking about inflammation and the sodium potassium pump, topics she covers in her AP Bio class, Beth immediately connected with the science behind the program, which offered a perspective she hadn’t heard before.

Today, Beth has found her Migraine Freedom™ from 22+ migraines a month down to just 2 migraines a month, even while navigating massive life stress.

Not only do her migraines occur less frequently, but when they do, they’re shorter and less intense, lasting only a few hours instead of days. Best of all? She’s now off all migraine medications—a huge accomplishment for someone who hated taking pills in the first place.

Beth’s story is an inspiring reminder that even when you feel like you’ve tried everything, there’s still hope.

Stick around as Beth shares her journey, her turning point, and her results in her own words. Whether you’re curious about the science behind the program or just looking for inspiration, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Beth’s breaking point: a 17-day migraine that wouldn’t let up

  • Why traditional treatments (Botox, injections, prescriptions) weren’t enough to heal her pain

  • The science-based shift that finally made things click for migraine-free days

  • Beth’s exact results: 2 migraines a month, lasting just 3–4 hours, with no meds

  • How Freedom From Migraines Method® helped her feel calm, confident, and in control of her health (and life!) again
