Could what’s happening in your gut be affecting how vulnerable you are to migraines?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves sits down with functional health practitioner Taylor Knese of Mod Health Co. to explore the connection between gut health, hormones, stress, inflammation, and migraine threshold.
They break down how the gut communicates with the brain, why digestion and bowel movements can offer clues about your overall health, and how imbalances involving estrogen, histamine, stress, and the gut microbiome may contribute to a lower migraine threshold.
You’ll learn:
- How the gut and brain communicate through the vagus nerve
- Why gut health may influence inflammation and migraine threshold
- The connection between estrogen, histamine, and hormonal migraines
- How chronic stress can affect digestion and gut motility
- What your bowel movements may reveal about your digestive health
- Why walking, sleep, chewing your food, and eating a diverse whole-food diet matter
- How gut health fits into a bigger, whole-body approach to migraines
If you’ve focused on your headaches but never considered your digestion, hormones, or gut health, this conversation may help you see another piece of the migraine puzzle.
