This makes a lot of sense. I used to have a lot of headaches when I ate a SAD diet. Now that I’m eating majority whole plants my headaches are mostly gone and only occur when I’m sick.
Don't waste your time. You could ask yourself: 'does my head hurt because my body is low on ginger' ? choose ginger over Tylenol ? 👍 Dr. Josh Axe or Saladino for supplements if you think of going vegan 👌💪
@ForbiddenViewpoints : Saladino doesn't even do carnivore anymore dude. The whole basis for his argument WAS what people historically liked the taste of, not what they lived the longest eating. I hope you find the plant based diet someday dude. It saved my life.
What are you talking about? It's the medicinal properties of the chemical compounds in ginger that can help with migraine not the nutritional value.@@LuminousReminders
@@adams2836 That's exactly why I recommend Saladino. He isn't strict carnivore. Veganism is for female. Imagine a male vegan VS omnivore in bed. A women's secret desire is an aggressive carnivore, not wimpy vegan.
I haven’t had a single ophthalmic migraine/migraine with aura since adopting a plant based diet 4 years ago. My father and sister who live on the standard American diet continue to suffer with them.
I could decrease my number of attacks significantly by cutting out caffeine completely (especially coca Cola and switching to caffeine free coffee because I figured out I always got heart racing from it). I will play around with reducing fat and ginger. Unfortunately I never get any good food recommendation to accompany my conditions, so thank you 😊
I would be more than happy to help you find the unique diet your body asking for Also, you probably get headaches due to too much liquid consumption. Drinking too much water will cause headaches.
Great podcast, but I find the music distracting. BTW, I can abort many migraines by putting a pinch of ginger under my tongue. It works like a triptan.
I get headaches all winter that I've always considered sinus headaches. I can generally count on getting one about 8 hours before a winter weather change that's coming across the mountains (we live in northern Colorado). Today was a somewhat amusing example: I got a sudden twinge of a headache, and a few minutes later my phone dinged with a winter storm watch alert. I don't get any of the classic symptoms of migraines like light sensitivity, pulsing, or worsening with physical activity. In fact, my symptoms often get a little better if I get up and take a walk. To me, one of the big clues to a sinus origin is that mine often come with an ache in my "eye teeth", and the toothache often precedes the headache by an hour or so. (I'm told that those teeth have roots that go up near the sinus cavity.) Plus, my headaches often coincide with my eustachian tubes popping and an increase in volume of tinnitus ringing. But I still get feedback from others that I'm misdiagnosing my headaches and that I have a migraine. Well, potato, pot-ah-to, it hurts. No magic cures. Sometimes, various pain killers help, or caffeine (I'm not usually caffeine-addicted), or a hot bath, or an ice bag on my head or face. And sometimes nothing helps and I just have to sleep it off. Fortunately, the headaches almost never last overnight, so I usually wake up blissfully pain free. I've sometimes wondered if I should see if I have a deviated septum or something similar, but, to be honest, I'd rather have the occasional headache than sign up for surgery. I'm almost 57, so if I've made it this long, I figure why ask for trouble.
My triggers at the moment: hormones (menstrual and ovulation), alcohol, mdma, tempeh, maca powder and all types of mushrooms & overdoing physical activity that aggrivate neck/shoulder muscles and ofc heavy emotional stress situations. I am 43 and perimenopause probably increased the durations of the hormonal attacks. They used to be 24 hrs and now they are 3 days in a row. Ginger does unfortunately nothing; tried ginger powder, fresh ginger and daily ginger juice shots. Magnesium did nothing. Daily yoga doesn't cure it thusfar. Caffeine in painkillers are annoying, because the painkiller doesn't work at all but the caffeine then keeps me awake during the attack - when my goal is to hopefully sleep through some of the pain. I took high dose q10+black pepper daily for more than 3 months. The only thing that I noticed is that I don't puke as frequent during the attacks. My right nose airway always tells me the peak of the pain is arriving and vomiting is near, it will tighten and lets almost no air in. The vomiting is btw a sort of a relief, because my digestion comes to a stop which is not helpful to have food sort of ferment in my stomach for such a long time. Last time everything I ate 30 hrs prior to the peak of the pain went into the bucket. I've learned that eating during an attack worsens the pain, because adding more food into the digestion track that is on hold = not what my body can handle. In my opinion bananas are the best food before an attack, because it's thusfar the least disgusting in structure and scent once it comes out into the vomit bucket. I am just hoping the attacks will stop after I reached full menopause. And until then, I will probably stick to the q10 supplement and try out other things I find that might work. If anyone has something that actually helped a tiny bit with their hormonal attacks, feel free to response. The other non hormonal attacks are quite easy for me to avoid, and if I do get one - it's peanuts to coop with that pain in comparison to the 3 death day hormonal attacks.
Your condition sounds like what I experienced when I was young. Three day headaches so bad I would sleep on the bathroom floor because I couldn’t stop throwing up. They seemed to occur around my period, but many things seemed to trigger it. Definitely alcohol, staying up too late, a lot of noise and overstimulation. My Dr was giving me sleeping pills and drugs that made me lethargic and spaced out. One day I took myself to the ER and they gave me Imitrex which worked for four hours. Since my headaches lasted three days, it was too expensive and unsafe to continue taking it. My Dr. left his practice to go to Israel for a few months and his son took over his practice. He told me he thought my headaches were brought on by stress that turned into a migraine. He prescribed Amitriptyline and after one month, my headaches subsided. It was like a miracle to me after ten years and thinking I would have to leave my job and go on disability. I took it before bedtime and it helped me sleep and stopped my jaw clenching. The side effects were dry mouth and also I seemed to crave sweets a bit. After five years, I decided to try going off of it. The headaches did not come back. I think the drug reprogrammed my brain chemistry. I was still prone to sinus headaches which subsided greatly when I went whole food plant based and I often wonder if that would have made a difference when I was suffering from those bad headaches. My poor son has migraines and Amitriptyline didn’t work for him but recently, he found that Nurtec works really well for him. , although he has to go through some hoops for the insurance company to approve it. Hope you find a cure for this awful illness.
I am going through perimenopause. Bloody covid set off these horrendous migraines as I would get them occassionally, but not like now. Due to other health conditions, I already take Amitriptyline for pain; my migraine consultant increased the dosage to help. I am also taking topiramate, which is a newer drug to me as I have only been taking it since August 2023. It helped get my migraines down to 1 a week. Previous to this, I had a constant migraine for over a year! I'm not going to lie, during that time I wanted to die. I tried the ginger drink as I am having a migraine now. I'm on day 3.🤦♀️😭

I could derail an on coming migraine by massaging the tight muscular bands at the base of my skull. Sometimes it'd take 20 minutes but it would stop the migraine from progressing. Not as effective with a full blown migraine. At that point, wrapping my head in cold packs helped and laying down in the dark. (When possible) I don't get them anymore though since i eliminated gluten.

my headaches only seem to respond well to a cup of coffee at mid-day or early afternoon, now am definitely going to try the ginger method, thanks
I love these podcasts!

My magnesium supplement has helped with my migraine frequency? Am I just one lucky lady?
Magnesium is a commonly recommended supplement for migraines. Glad it’s working for you!
I started a magnesium supplement plus a CoQ10 supplement about 6 months ago, and the frequency of my migraines has gone down noticeably.

I live in altitude and I have severe migraines each time the pressure drops.
I found that Hawthorne bay eaten through the day is the only relief. 😊

Good to know! I'm going to be better about supplementing with magnesium.
Which mag there r 10
Taking a baby aspirin daily greatly reduces the frequency of my migraines (with aura)
Really?? I have aura's, drive me crazy, I'll try and see if it works for me!
So shall i
I🙏💕
why do so many say keto/carnivore has virtually eliminated their migraines if meat is pro-inflammatory?
