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.
Dr. Taves, founder of the podcast and owner of Novera: Headache Center believes you deserve to feel in control of your health again — with more symptom-free days and less worry over when the next migraine will hit. 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.

Everyone says stress causes headaches—but what does that actually mean?
In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr. Taves explains what stress is, how it affects your body, and why chronic stress can increase headaches and migraines.
Rather than blaming stress itself, this episode explores how your body's stress response can lower your pain threshold, increase muscle tension, and make headaches more likely. Most importantly, you'll learn practical strategies to help your body recover from chronic stress.
You'll learn:
- What stress actually is and why it's a normal part of life
- The difference between healthy stress and chronic stress
- How chronic stress lowers your headache threshold
- Why stress causes neck, jaw, and shoulder tension
- How stress affects your nervous system, hormones, sleep, and overall health
- Practical ways to calm your nervous system and reduce headache triggers
If you've ever said, "My headaches are just caused by stress," this episode will help you understand what's really happening inside your body—and what you can do about it.
