Last week, I found myself curled up in bed, lights off, room quiet—yet my head was pounding like a bass drum. I hadn’t eaten for hours, and boom—there it was. A migraine, out of nowhere. Or so I thought. Turns out, skipping meals or letting blood sugar plummet can trigger something far more disruptive than…
Years ago, I stumbled across something surprisingly simple that ended up reshaping the way I manage my migraines—walking barefoot on grass. It sounds almost too good to be true, right? But let me back up a bit. I’ve been living with migraines for over a decade, trying everything from prescription meds to obscure supplements. Then…
If you’ve ever wrapped up a long night shift and felt like your head was about to split in two — you’re not alone. Working nights messes with more than just your sleep; it can seriously mess with your brain. I’ve done back-to-back graveyard shifts in the past, and let me tell you, the throbbing…

But the more I looked into it, the…

If you’ve ever felt blindsided by a migraine right after switching your birth control, you’re far from alone. I remember thinking I was just stressed out at first — work deadlines, lack of sleep, maybe dehydration.
