There’s no doubt. Migraines are debilitating.
When they hit, we often have to remove ourselves from daily life.
But did you know that migraine with aura is caused by suppressed electrical activity in the brain and is connected to brain fog?
I’ve heard from so many women about their brain fog and they have said:
“I hate the brain fog and the fact that I can’t concentrate like I used to…”
“Not sleeping. Brain fog. Anxiety throughout my day. I need help ! Please.”
“My biggest problem is the brain fog. People can tell me something and I hear them but it just doesn’t register what they said and I always have to have them repeat what they said.”
And here’s the part that the healthcare industry doesn’t talk about: migraines are also connected to brain damage.
In fact, headaches are one of the top reasons why people visit the doctor.
But what if your headache is caused by what you’re eating?
And what if what you’re eating is endorsed by one of the biggest ‘healthcare’ organizations out there?
And what if they’re wrong?
On this week’s episode of The Menopause Movement Podcast, I welcome back globally recognized nutrition and metabolism thought leader, and New York Times Best Selling Author, Dr. Cate Shanahan.
Dr. Cate and I talk about the relationship headaches have with metabolism and inflammation.
Plus, we go into how the “standard American diet” destroys our bodies’ antioxidant functionalities.
We also go into the 3 main ingredients that knock us out of balance and how to stop that for good.
Your body is naturally designed to make menopause easy and prevent headaches.
Find out how by tuning in to this podcast today because you deserve to take control of your body.
