Hi Deborah just watched your video I am really suffering from this and I've tried everything and so many doctor no one seems to care its been a year now of continues headache I was wondering how to get your pills thank you so much Lucy

[@gurgurgur]

Plant based food helps no dairy no sugar. Praise god to keep mind positive daily

[@jellyrcw12]

You are a LIFE SAVER, thank you so much! I randomly get migraines and my doctor was basically like "oh they're hormonal" and then said nothing else lol

[@deesterdee6650]

Thank you! This is the most concise, best answer I have received and it makes total sense. My headaches were so I bad and I would be dizzy and shakey and nauseous. I realize now it was because of estrogen dropping and my blood sugar because I wasn't eating regularly. I started eating healthy fats and fiber that keep me full longer and taking natural supplements and whole foods vs processed foods, and it has helped. I have a little headache at the moment so I may try some dark chocolate...i don't have any Willow bark.

[@babongiledlamini5474]

Where have you been all my life! I'm so glad I can finally find relief- I had no idea!! It makes a lot of sense I had a migraine around ovulation period and now third day on my monthly and and I skipped breakfast this morning too busy with chores! I think it's important to be aware of what your body tells you.Thank you! Very informative.

Thanks for Watching. Please comment below and share which Hormonal Migraine preventative or relief strategies you are most interested in, so I know what to focus on in later videos.

[@wellbeing4497]

Thank you for this video! I am going to try your products! I’ve been wanting some hormonal balancing but didn’t know where to begin without expensive naturopath visits and tests and, like you said, tons of supplements. I’m more of a whole food person than supplements, but if I’m going to supplement, it’s got to be with quality and effective ingredients that are actually supplementing my lifestyle and not just giving me expensive urine! 😂

[@janetpitcher3227]

thankyou very much. i have a condition of epilepsy and do get migraines quite bad. try to take pain meds for them but not working much. sometimes take hormone sups but still have seizures. this has really helped in a big way. again thanks

[@pilanamaria3436]

Without further videos, I must say I can really connect with what you are saying! Not only that I feel migraines in my case had been caused by messy hormone cycle but I can tell it had been triggered by coffee, and also by a different mental state ! As you probbably have in your other videos, alternative ways of changing oneself without any medication are definitely real. I haven't had any migraines for many years and I still drink alot of coffee...but so much about my well-being has changed that I can tell, there's more to it than just female hormones, it has to do with energy, frequency, space and mind barriers that we have to crush. Keep on doing great work! And, to the public with migraines, I believe in you, you can also change and decrease or even eliminate your horrible pains forever! ❤️🍀

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Pilanamaria thank you. I believe the more you understand how your body works, the better your experience can be. Congratulations for living your best pain free life!

Oh my God, this video helped me have my eurika moment, after 20 years of trying to figure out my migraines. Last period I noticed that my migraine nearly went away after eating and kept coming back and going away (briefly) after a meal. And I crave sugar like crazy when I have a migraine! And that is at ovulation and before&during period.

Kirsty, which tip are your going to try to balance your hormones to help avoid migraines? If you drink a sweetened caffeinated beverage when you have your aura (the strange smell that precedes your migraine) you may be able to prevent it.

Maria C I suspect lack of estrogen is causing your migraines. You may be a candidate for bio identical hormone replacement therapy. If you sign up for our Hormone Reboot Training, you’ll learn much about your hormones and practical tips to get back in balance

[@agrotta1650]

I have been getting migraines since i was 6 years old. My sister, cousins, and aunts on my maternal side, and my dad and my paternal aunts also get them. My son also has been getting migraines since he was a toddler. My migraines have only increased from once a month to several times a month. I am in my 40's and going through huge hormonal changes. I definitely do not want to take synthetic hormones. I have been have hot flashes throughout the day and night for the past couple years with several months break in between.

A Grotta your familial migraine pattern can be lessened by supporting your hypothalamus. Plus supporting your hypothalamus through perimenopause will make the transition so much easier - here’s more information genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/#hypothalamus-support

[@valeriedavis3322]

O....Wow! It be one bad smell what triggered my migraine headaches My symptoms I vomit the whole time of my migraine before my period & after my period It be like I’ll Pregnant. 😰Thank you for All the information you sharing.

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

You may want to talk to your health care provider about using sublingual estradiol starting about 12 -24 hours before you usually get your migraines premenstrually.

[@valeriedavis3322]

Thank you 😊🙌🏽

[@leannabedore]

I can 100% relate!! I'm 36 yrs old and about a year ago I started getting migranes. Took a few months to narrow it down to my periods. Just what you said before during and up to days after my cycle I'm just miserable. Have a little girl to take care of and they are so debilitating. Glad I found this video, and your comment to see I'm not alone.

[@peggyrowe4354]

when I was 29 they had to REMOVE EVVERYTHING. vahana uteri's tubes, and YES both overlies. I started taking hormones'. 2 weeks after my 1st son was born, I began having seizures/ you have answered a question for me.

[@msh5597]

My headaches are brutal. It was right before my period now it’s during my period. I start getting these headaches after my tubal ligations

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Ms Holcomb tubal ligation affects your Hormone balance which can be the root of your migraines

[@msh5597]

Deborah Maragopoulos FNP what can I do this is brutal

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Ms Holcomb talk to your health care provider about prescribing 0.5 mg estradiol take 1/2 tablet sublingually (underneath your tongue) at the first sign of migraine hopefully in the aura stage and better yet starting one day before you usually get your migraine - this will prevent the estrogen withdrawal that triggers migraine

[@badajoma]

I'll try willow bark next month. I'm using ice compress on temples & base of skull along with peppermint essential oil to same areas

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

badajoma willow bark is where aspirin comes from. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory. I recommend for my patients to prevent hormonal migraines to keep their hormones in balance by supporting their hypothalamus.

I never had headache but it started 2days before periods

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Hormonal headaches are usually vascular - migraines - a headache just before your period can indicate hormonal trigger

[@leannabedore]

I am very interested in the estrogen, would this still help if I have chronic migranes? My migranes are 100% hormonal but I have them 3 weeks out of the month. Usually have one good week after my cycle. Only a few days. It's very discouraging living in a constant migrane state😥

[@faithfreedom4084]

I don't know where to start. Headaches seem to be before and after my cycle but I haven't been tracking my cycles so im not positive. I do have a very clean whole food healthy diet with many things that detox my body daily. No coffee or caffeine minimal sugar. Should I start tracking to see if I need the estradiol? Some days I can tell it might turn into a headache when im awake before I have even had food something just feels off and my stomach is off. Ive always thought I wonder if its an estrogen dumb or like you say withdrawal. It usually gets worse by the afternoon esp after I eat lunch or take a nap. Ill wake up with it worse. I have gone years without taking Tylenol or ibuprofen but lately Ive just lost my patience in laying in bed for hours in pain and nausea. My older tween girls are also experiencing headaches and they have not started their cycles yet.

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

If your migraines are induced by estrogen withdrawal there will be a cyclic nature to them as I describe in the video Low blood sugar can trigger migraines and increase intensity.

Migraines in pregnancy are not uncommon but you should contact your OBGYN

[@hikutti]

wish you were my doctor, I have been having exact symptoms on the first 3 days of periods, the migraine disappears after 3rd day, here, physicians asked me to have cool pack and said there are no remedies other than birth control pill. I am afraid to take birth control pill as in future I might have another child. Please help if I need to talk to my physician on any other way to handle the monthly migraines. Thank you god bless you for the service.

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Ask your health care provider for a trial of estradiol low dose 0.5mg and take half tablet sublingually under your tongue 12 hours before you expect a migraine and every 12 hours through day 3 of your cycle.

Not as much - yet continuous hormone use without a break can cause hypothalamus dysfunction

Great video. Do you recommend perimenopause women w/ hysterectomy with 1 ovary to take progesterone everyday or just luteal phase? I see different opinions on this. I get menstrual migraines throughout my whole cycle. At every point of fluctuation and have been trying estrogen like this.

Thank you, I was looking for a way to avoid those terribles migraines which take 4 to 5 days off my life every cycle. I am going to try the willow bark combine with cafeine to see if I can manage to gain some time for other things. May I replace willow bark by "tylenol" ?

Willow bark is more like aspirin. Tylenol works differently and can be used with willow bark. Be careful not to take too much Tylenol as it can damage the liver.

Ok, so as a 52 year old male if I miss a meal I get a migraine. I follow a strict schedule. Breakfast between 7 and 8, lunch 11-12 and dinner 4-5. Outside that, migraine! I didn't used to be this way. Also I have to eat lots of protein. 3-4 eggs. double burger. If not, migraine. I liked your video, it resonated with me, but being male, it doesn't fit me exactly. Do I need testosterone? I have most of my hair, decent libido etc. How do I get back to the way I once was, when I missed a meal I was simply hungry, not a 3 day headache with nausea. (Maxalt and Zofran help, and Topomax etc) But it'd be nice if all that went away. Any thoughts?

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

Sounds like you may be hypoglycemic. Hormones can be involved,- but most likely cortisol not testosterone. My migraine patients have had quite a bit of success by supporting their hypothalamus- which controls your hormones and blood sugar. genesisgold.com/balance-your-hormones/#hypothalamus-support

5 days before my period I had an aura migraine.. however I think these migraines are from high estrogen not low because I was getting it at 15 on birth control. (This period ended up not coming either)

[@DeborahMaragopoulosFNP]

zjunegirl if you’re period didn’t come then your estrogen is probably insufficient or you’re anovulatory. And women on BCP can get migraines especially on the placebo week

[@zjunegirl1862]

Deborah Maragopoulos FNP But when I do have my period I have big clots and it’s heavy So isn’t that high estrogen?

[@zjunegirl1862]

I haven’t been on birth control since I was 15! I also thought that if you do not have your period that means it’s low progesterone because doesn’t progesterone get rid of the uterine lining?
