Recently, a patient of mine was kind enough to share her health success story with us. She was suffering with migraine headaches, vision disturbance, poor sleep, and stomach upset. After identifying the origin of her problems, she is on the road to a full recovery. Watch her story below…
Migraine headaches often times have a food based trigger. Common food triggers include:
- Gluten
- Coffee (caffeine)
- Dairy
- Wine (sulfites)
- Processed meats (nitrates)
- Aspartame (Nutrasweet)
- Soy
Nutritional Deficiencies can also contribute to this disorder. Common nutrient deficiencies linked to headache include:
- Vitamin B-12
- Vitamin B-2
- Vitamin B-6
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Water (dehydration)
In addition to food and nutritional triggers, bright light, lack of sleep, muscular and skeletal imbalances, and intense stress can also bring on this condition.
Unfortunately, most doctors fail to investigate food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, or musculoskeletal problems in their patients. If you suffer with migraine headaches, and your doctor refuses to properly address these issues, look for a functional medicine doctor who will. As in Haley’s case (above), the answer might be on your dinner plate, not in a pill bottle.
