Last year, I started keeping a migraine diary out of desperation. After countless mornings ruined by pulsating head pain and nausea, I noticed something oddly consistent—every flare-up came within a day of digestive discomfort. At first, I dismissed it. But the more I tracked it, the more I realized: my gut and my migraines were…
If you’ve ever finished a tough workout only to find yourself clutching your head in pain, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—after what felt like a triumphant 5K jog, my celebration was cut short by a brutal migraine that sidelined me for hours. At first, I thought it was dehydration or maybe skipping breakfast. But…
Last weekend, I was all set for a relaxing Saturday — tea in hand, book by my side — until an all-too-familiar pounding started creeping in. That dreaded migraine. What made it worse? A storm was rolling in. Again. I’ve been tracking these episodes for years, and I’ve started to notice a pattern: when the…

I never really thought my migraines and stomach issues were connected—until one day, they both hit like a double punch. I’d always chalked up the nausea and cramps to bad food or stress. But the more I talked to others and dug into what the science says, the more I realized this combo isn’t just…
Skipping breakfast used to be my thing—more time in the morning, fewer calories, and supposedly better focus. But every time I tried intermittent fasting, boom—head pounding by mid-afternoon.
