Helping those who suffer with migraines. I suffered from migraines starting at the age of 10. Life was so hard and I felt helpless.

As I grew older, they gradually got worse and worse until I was experiencing 25 or more migraine days a month. In my mid 30's I had my daughter and the migraines continued to get worse. Medications did nothing, or only masked the pain for a short time. I knew that I could not continue my life this way and I refused to let migraine control my life. The stress from missing work and having to take care of my daughter on my own no matter how sick I was was too much. This is when I discovered something that finally worked! Now, I help people reduce their monthly migraine days and the severity of their headaches without the use of medication by teaching them how to incorporate an Ancestrial way of living into their daily lives. I have personally experienced the benefits of this and have reduced my monthly migraine days from 25+ down to 2 or less.

Did you know? The tiny but mighty hypothalamus plays a huge role in migraines! From regulating sleep patterns to managing hormones, this powerhouse can influence when and how a migraine strikes.

By supporting this gland through proper nutrition, you are likely to see some migraine relief!

Support your hypothalamus by introducing these important nutrients into your diet:

✨ Chromium helps to keep the hypothalamus youthful!

✨ Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids together with cholesterol, act as antioxidants and precursors to vital molecules and neurotransmitters that support the brain.

✨ Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant, protects the hypothalamus from toxins.

✨ B Vitamins support all of the functions of the hypothalamus, they are essential for energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis.

A staple in my house is cassava flour tortillas. I make them in large batches and freeze for when I need them. I use them as wraps for sandwiches, scrambled eggs, for tacos/tortillas, and even instead of buns for hotdogs or hamburgers. Unlike corn tortillas that always fall apart, or gluten free bread that is gross and often filled with tons of unnatural ingredients to hold it together, these are made with clean ingredients and best of all- they don’t fall apart!

Cassava Flour Waffles are so good! I make them in large batches to freeze and it makes a healthy option when I don’t have time, or want to cook.

The cassava flour gives a gluten free option, but because of the higher carbohydrate content, I like to eat them with healthy fats to slow digestion and keep my blood sugar more stable. Top it with either full fat homemade whipped cream, or even coconut whipped cream and berries. Lots of grass fed butter with berries is also delicious.

We are all feeling the pinch of rising inflation. When it comes to spending extra money on organic produce, there are some choices to make. You've likely heard of the "Dirty Dozen", these items should be purchased organic as they are known to have high traces of pesticides.
On the flip side, the 'Clean Fifteen' highlights produce with fewer pesticide traces, making it easier on your budget to go conventional without compromising your health.

It’s hard to get well within a system that profits from our illness.

Studies show that Medication Overuse Headaches are real, and are a contributing factor to bringing episodic migraines to chronic.

I get it- when you have a migraine, or you think an attack is coming on, the first thing you want to do is reach for something to stop it. But, are those medications making your migraines more frequent and more severe? YES!

There are ways to get through migraine attacks without medication. Read my latest blog for tips on how to do this! link in bio.

Have you found that medications are not helping with alleviating your migraines? Check out how aligning ourselves (as best as we can) with the way we were created to live can help!

I used to suffer from chronic migraine and was regularly having 25 or more migraine days a month. The choice to stop eating processed foods that are designed to keep us sick, stop being sedentary, which is so easy in our modern life and to reconnect with my mind and body has given me control back over my life.
