Why is migraine the leading cause of disability in women under 50?

Why do medications often stop working over time?

What if inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, sleep disruption, or toxin overload are driving your headaches?

Many women are told migraines are hormonal, genetic, and that medication is the only answer.

But what if the pain is a signal of deeper imbalance?

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett, MD, Stanford-trained neurologist and founder of Migraine Relief Code, who takes a root-cause approach to migraine recovery.

We explore brain inflammation, gut health, mitochondrial function, deep sleep, and how data can help personalize your healing plan.

If you are ready to move beyond symptom management and understand what is truly driving your migraines, this episode will expand your perspective.
