Please pass this on to friends and family who suffer from migraines

At 48 years of living with migraine it's safe to say I'm a migraine elder. During this time I've tried a lot of things and the research has also changed a lot. Migraines are multi-genic- I have them all (vascular, neurological, trauma) Dr. Gross's metabolic approach may be the missing link... Many sources (including two neurologists I know) say that only 16% of migraineurs will continue with attacks post menopause. I was very hopeful that I would be one of the lucky 84%. So far, two years in, not so. I have become high episodic 8-10 migraines a month. I do everything right and have for years. I am a yoga and meditation teacher, I eat organic, whole foods, no alcohol or caffeine, gluten free, vegetarian, hang with nice people, low HRP doses etc... However, Im not getting any younger and considering the metabolic approach makes perfect sense. Age means metabolism slows down, cellular repair is slower, some of the natural antioxidants like estrogen and progesterone fall away,...yet does the hyperactive brain slow down? I don't think mine has. I am very interested in the migra-kit and want to know how and when I can get it in Canada... or maybe I will have to plan a trip abroad to buy:)

Awesome content! I would also like to see drs prescribing bhb exogenous ketones for chronic migraine suffers like myself.

It's worth also remembering that not everyone who gets migraine gets headache. If you think it's difficult to get a diagnosis when you do get headache, you should see how much fun it is when you don't get headache, but it's estimated that about 1 in 10 people who get migraine don't get headache. It's important that people understand that as a lot of people suffer unnecessarily. Vestibular migraine often doesn't cause headache but leaves the suffered dizzy, uncoordinated, brain fogged, nauseous etc.

6 months ago I was given another migraine medication (from a neurologist). I noticed it was also given to people who suffer from epilepsy. So I looked into natural ways of treating epilepsy and wondered whether I could use the same treatment for my vestibular migraine (instead of trying another unnatural drug). I'm happy to say that the ketogenic diet has been a wonderful time of relief for me. It is worth cutting out the carbs and eating healthy grass fed proteins and fats. When you're desperate enough you will make the change. I was desperate and the change has been remarkably. I was elated to hear this lady speak because I thought I was the only one who has tried this means of cure. 🎉

I've been convinced I am diabetic for such a long time. I struggle with sugar and carbs, the best i ever felt was doing a low carb (not keto, I felt so ill) but I have kids and I'm like a carb-a-holic. I need to watch this again with a notebook. I have migraine triggers in every category mentioned but something I didn't hear was sound triggers. High pitch noises can trigger my tinnitus and when it gets really bad I start the migraine cycle. In this moment I just realized it's probably the stress of trying to function through the tinnitus...dang.

More than a year ago I completely changed my diet for a different reason and I've just realised that I haven't had a serious migraine attack since then. I do still get the ocassional mild headache, but nothing like it was before. Now I'm wondering whether those mild headaches happen at times when I compromise my diet. This gives me one more reason to stick to wholefoods - I still eat complex carbs (grains, legumes, all types of vegetables and fruit) and pretty much everything else (some meat, fish, eggs and dairy) - I haven't excluded anything other than added sugar and ultraprocessed food. If I had known that my diet had such a huge impact on my health, I would have switched a long time ago, but sometimes it takes a crisis to make you realise what is basically just common sense.

Thank you so much!

Great stuff, thanks! I know some migrainers

Unfortunately, the content of this video does not help with my migraine. I got episodic cluster headache, which is a type of migraine that affects mostly men. Episodic in my case, means that I got this condition 2 to 3 months a year regardless of diet exercise or anything on the face of the earth I even tried to go keto while I was on a cluster headache phase it also did not help

Regarding the hyperexciteability of the brain. Could this be similar to ADHD? In which case a stimulant might decrease the brains activity...? Thinking a combo of metabolic fuel AND a decrease in brain hyperexciteability would be ideal!

Ketone bodies can actually also reduce hyerexcitability. =)

The hypothetical framework is dubious at best. Stick to the experimental findings.
