Ever wondered why migraines are more common in women? Ever wondered why certain foods trigger migraines? Ever struggled to find a solution that really gets to the root of the problem? We, Dr. Houston Anderson and Dr. Gabe, are here to answer these burning questions. Join our enlightening conversation about migraines, their triggers, treatments, and the significant role diet plays in their management. Let us explain why migraines are more than a mere headache— they are a neurologic condition impacting the trigeminal nerve in the brainstem, affected by genetics and a sensitive nervous system.

Within our discussion, we shed light on how TMJ and C1 alignment factor into migraines, and why it's important to address these issues. Hear us talk about the limitations of commonly used drugs and over-the-counter pain relievers and how they often overlook the core of the problem. We'll also delve into the importance of personal health history in determining the cause of migraines, and why tension headaches and migraines need different approaches.

Ideas for managing migraines through diet and supplements, identifying food triggers, and the importance of balancing sodium and potassium levels for cellular hydration are all on the table. We'll discuss in detail how iron deficiency, particularly in women with carbohydrate-dominant diets, influences migraines. You'll also get practical tips on supplements like artichoke extract and magnesium. As we wrap up, we'll focus on the significance of addressing the root causes of migraines for lasting relief. Make sure you join us next time as we answer your questions from Instagram in our Q&A session!
