“You’ve tried everything.”
“Nothing else will work.”
“You’re out of options.”

Many people living with migraine have heard some version of this.

But in most cases, it simply isn’t true.

My interview for the Migraine World Summit is now live:
“Told You’re Out of Options? There’s Hope.”

In this conversation we talk about what “treatment resistant” migraine actually means and why many people are labeled this way too quickly.

We also discuss medication overuse headache, integrative approaches that can work alongside medication, and practical strategies for navigating chronic migraine when treatments have not worked the way you hoped.

Migraine care is evolving. New treatments and broader approaches are opening doors that did not exist before.

If you live with migraine, I hope this conversation offers perspective and hope.

Have you ever been told you were “out of options”?

I would love to hear your experience in the comments.

Migraine rarely travels alone.
It often overlaps with other chronic conditions like POTS, IBS, MCAS, and EDS, and understanding those connections can change how we treat and manage symptoms.

Join me and for an Instagram Live on Friday Dec 12th at 4:30 PM ET.

We’ll unpack how migraine interacts with the gut, immune system, and autonomic nervous system and what you can actually do about it.

🤯 1 in 5 women worldwide suffer from migraine. Problem is: people often confuse a migraine attack with a bad headache. As a result, millions of women go through life undiagnosed and untreated.

So they don’t seek out medical help. Instead, they suffer in silence. Pop an ibuprofen. And just try to tough it out by still attending that work meeting or social event they committed to…

Our brand new (free) Headache and Migraine Collection is now live in the app! 🚀 If you or a loved one struggles with recurrent headaches or migraine attacks, this Collection is for you.

In 4, bite-sized modules created in collaboration with internationally renowned headache specialist Dr. Lauren R. Natbony, Integrative Headache Medicine of New York, you’ll learn what causes migraine in women and science-backed strategies to manage and prevent attacks.

I am thrilled to announce that I've signed an Investigator Initiated Research Agreement with to study the tolerability and efficacy of their proprietary psilocin compound L-130, in patients suffering from Cluster Headaches (CH). I am excited to evaluate the impact of Lobe’s psilocin compound, L-130, in treating these devastating headaches to bring relief to more CH sufferers everywhere! ⁠
⁠
More to come over the next few months as I dive in. The data reported in the literature supports the use of psilocybin in CH patients, and since L-130 is the active metabolite of psilocybin, it appears to be an efficient way of delivering non-psychedelic doses of psilocin with potentially better bioavailability and consistency. Using sub-psychedelic dosing may allow physicians a therapeutic solution to a devastating condition where treatment options are limited.⁠
⁠
Honored to be devoting my expertise in advancing migraine relief in these new and exciting ways. Thank you to Lobe Sciences for this incredible partnership!⁠

You know the typical pattern – you resolve to get more exercise, and you do for a while. But a few weeks into your new routine, your good intentions begin to fall apart. So what can we do to change this pattern?

1. Set a realistic goal. People always start out with so much enthusiasm and with a big goal. If you try to go from zero exercise to running 30 minutes every day, it is not going to be sustainable. The key is to start with a small amount of time. Say 5-10 minutes three days a week. Once your body is used to this amount of exercise, you can start to slowly increase the duration and intensity. It may take weeks to months, but your goal should be 30-40 minutes of exercise 4-5 days per week. Once you are able to do that, increase your effort of exertion. For example, if you are running, run faster or harder.

2. Set a time when you’re most likely to stick with exercise. It can be morning, noon, or night; however consistency is key! If you don’t set a time, you’re more likely to put it off until you have more time or energy or even into the next day. Make exercise an appointment on your calendar.

3. With any new habit, it is always important to make it pleasurable. For me, I look forward to my one hour of peace away from the kids. Some days I like to blast music and run faster than my thoughts. On other days, I like to melt into my yoga mat for a restorative flow. If you look forward to watching your favorite tv show, use it as motivation to exercise at the same time. If you like to dance, consider doing dance cardio classes. Find what you like and embrace it!

Overall, creating any new habit is challenging, but don’t get discouraged. It can take months before you notice the benefits of exercise and it becomes a part of your daily routine. If you miss a day, don’t quit and plan to start again at a distant time in the future. Start again today. You got this!
