Can GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs Help Your Migraines? What You Need to Know
In this episode, Dr. Taves and Dr. Sarah Thomas explore how GLP-1 weight loss drugs—such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—may influence headaches and migraines. They break down how these medications work in the body, how blood sugar stability impacts migraine symptoms, and why some people notice improvement while others experience worsening headaches.
They also discuss an important but often overlooked consideration: even if GLP-1 medications help with weight loss or migraine symptoms, there may be other factors to think about before relying on them long-term. From side effects to the difference between symptom management and addressing the root cause, this episode helps listeners understand the full picture so they can make informed decisions.
