❌ Migraines are Genetic
✅ Migraines are Phenotypic
When we hear genetics, we think there is nothing we can do but in fact this could not be further from the truth.
Migraines are Phenotypic, this means even though you have a genetic code that makes migraine possible you can avoid them or minimise them by controlling the environment that expresses them.
Think about diabetes for example. There is a high degree of genetic predisposition for diabetes and we can avoid diabetes by controlling our diet, exercise and lifestyle but if you eat donuts and chips every day your phenotype will be type 2 diabetes.
Your genes do not take your power away, your genes are your superpower. We just have to give them the right instructions by making small consistent changes in our lives that bring out their power.
We will all have different phenotypes or quirks in our life, body and metabolism.
What are your health quirks and what do you think you can change in your diet, habits and lifestyle to code your genes differently?
