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.

Most people think all stress is bad—but what if avoiding every stressor is actually making your body less resilient?
In Part 2 of this two-part series, Dr. Taves explores the concept of good stress and how the right kinds of short-term challenges can help your body become stronger, healthier, and more resilient to headaches and migraines.
From exercise and cold exposure to learning new skills and building physical capacity, you'll learn why health isn't about eliminating stress—it's about adapting to it.
You'll learn:
- The difference between good stress and chronic stress
- Why resilience matters for headache recovery
- How exercise can increase your headache threshold over time
- The science behind hormesis and positive adaptation
- Why recovery is just as important as the stress itself
- Practical ways to safely build physical and mental resilience
If you've been avoiding movement, exercise, or other challenges because you're afraid they'll trigger a headache, this episode offers a different perspective on how building resilience may be part of your recovery.
