Summary

80% of migraine sufferers are women. And I hear way too many women say their doctors brush off their complaints of headaches and migraines, giving no real, lasting solutions. So that ends here! I’ve invited the brilliant Dr. Meg Mill on the podcast to unpack the real connection between hormones, histamine, and headaches, especially as it relates to midlife hormonal changes. You’ll learn the first practical steps—like: balancing blood sugar reducing oxidative stress spotting symptom patterns simplifying food eliminations and choosing the right supplements —to finally get ahead of chronic migraines. This conversation is all about giving you the clarity, tools, and confidence to support your body instead of suffering in silence. Tune in to discover the migraine solutions every woman deserves!
