ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if understanding your migraines started with asking a different question—not just how to stop the pain, but why it's happening in the first place?
In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett, board-certified neurologist, founder of Migraine Relief Code, and author of the upcoming book Decode Your Migraine, for an insightful conversation about the underlying factors that may contribute to recurring migraines.
Drawing on her experience in conventional neurology, functional medicine, and yoga, Dr. Barrett shares the patient encounter that inspired her to explore a more personalized approach to migraine care. Together, they discuss the role of genetics, hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and lifestyle in understanding migraine patterns—and why the same approach may not work for everyone.
Discover how looking beyond symptoms and understanding your individual biology can open the door to more informed, personalized migraine management.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why migraines can be more complex than an occasional headache.
- How genetics and individual biological factors may influence migraine susceptibility.
- Why women experience migraines more frequently and how hormonal fluctuations may contribute.
- The role of functional medicine and lifestyle in a personalized migraine care plan.
- Why understanding your individual migraine patterns matters.
Whether you experience frequent migraines or want to better understand the connection between your brain and body, this conversation offers a new perspective on navigating migraine care.
Tune in and explore what it means to look beyond the headache.
