The Headache Doctor Podcast
Even after trying medication, lifestyle changes, and other “research-backed treatments” for migraine symptoms, does nothing feel like it’s really solving the issue?
The Headache Doctor Podcast is on a mission to provide education and empower everyone with headaches and migraines to break FREE from a life of fear and dependence so that they can THRIVE in everything they do.

Physical therapy for the neck at his clinic has decreased headache and migraine symptoms for hundreds of people.
Each week he dives into a topic related to headaches and migraines, or interviews experts to help you be informed as you manage your headaches and migraines.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do your migraines change around your period, during pregnancy, postpartum, or through menopause?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves and Dr. Sarah Thomas break down how female hormone changes can impact headaches and migraines across different stages of life.
They explain why estrogen fluctuations can lower your threshold for pain, why symptoms often worsen around your period or perimenopause, and why pregnancy may improve migraines for some women but worsen them for others.
You’ll learn:
- Why migraines often change with your cycle
- How estrogen affects headache sensitivity
- Why puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause matter
- How birth control can either help or worsen headaches
- Why hormones may be a trigger—but not the root cause
If you’ve noticed your migraines shifting with hormonal changes, this episode will help you better understand what’s happening and what you can do next.
