Are you experiencing a headache or a migraine? Many women experience migraines throughout their lives, but certain factors that can increase the likelihood of migraines. So what can you do to prevent them?

Today, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Rani Banik back on the show. She joined me on episode 204 to discuss the biggest eye issues in women.  In this episode though, we are diving into the world of migraines and why people, especially perimenopausal and menopausal women, may be experiencing them!

You will hear:

  • What a migraine is, how it differs from a headache, and if this matters
  • The phases of a migraine
  • Risk factors of migraines, both genetic and lifestyle
  • Minimizing your risk of migraines

  • And more!
