Migraines aren’t just “bad headaches.” They’re a complex neurological condition that can deeply impact your daily life, affecting your work, your relationships, your sleep, and your emotional well-being. If you’re tired of managing migraines with short-term solutions or over-the-counter medications that only mask the pain, you’re not alone. We believe in uncovering the root causes of migraines to create long-term, sustainable relief naturally.
What Is a Migraine?
A migraine is more than just head pain. It often includes:
-
Throbbing or pulsing head pain (typically one-sided)
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Sensitivity to light and sound
-
Visual disturbances or aura
-
Brain fog or fatigue after the episode
Some people experience migraines once or twice a month, while others may have them several times a week; either way, they can be debilitating.
Common Root Causes of Migraines
Migraines often stem from a combination of triggers and underlying imbalances. Some of the most common include:
1. Hormonal Fluctuations
Changes in estrogen and progesterone, especially around the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or perimenopause, can lead to hormone-related migraines.
2. Gut Health Issues
The gut-brain connection is powerful. Digestive imbalances like leaky gut, food sensitivities, or dysbiosis can contribute to inflammation and trigger migraines.
3. Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of magnesium, B vitamins, and CoQ10 are often linked to increased migraine frequency and severity.
4. Blood Sugar Instability
Skipping meals, high-carb snacks, or long gaps between eating can lead to blood sugar crashes — a common migraine trigger.
5. Chronic Stress
Stress affects your nervous system, sleep, hormones, and digestion — all of which can contribute to migraine patterns.
