Healing Migraines Naturally

Have you seen this TikTok hack? It goes something like this: "Instant migraine relief! Put your feet in hot water and an ice pack on your neck!" Does it work? Maybe. For 15 minutes. Here's the physiology: Hot water dilates blood vessels in your feet, pulling blood down. Ice on your neck constricts vessels, pushing blood away from your head. You temporarily reduce blood flow to your brain, which might ease throbbing. But your body won't let this last. Within 15 minutes, it pushes blood back up to restore balance. You might even get a rebound effect with more blood rushing to your head. And the practicality? You're in the middle of a migraine, when moving makes the pain worse, and you're supposed to fill a bathtub, find an ice pack, and perch on the edge of the tub? When I was getting chronic migraines, they'd hit while I was driving home on I-90. I wasn't near a bathtub. I was trying not to vomit at a toll booth. I don't focus on migraine hacks because I'm not interested in 15 minutes of relief before the pain comes back. I'm focused on getting you from four migraines a week to one a week in 4-6 weeks. From chronic migraines to canceling Botox, weaning off preventatives, and forgetting where you put your Imitrex. You can go from four migraines a week to being off medication in six months. But you'll never get there by just putting your feet in a bathtub. You'll get there by addressing root causes.

You've been taking Prilosec for years. Your doctor prescribed it for heartburn, or you bought it over-the-counter. It helped at first. But now you're also taking Tums multiple times a week. You feel bloated after eating. You can't finish a sandwich without discomfort. And your migraines? Still there. Here's what nobody tells you: Your heartburn medication is making your migraines worse. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prilosec and Nexium suppress your stomach acid. Your stomach is supposed to be pH 1. Strong enough to take paint off a car. That's how you absorb minerals from food. When your stomach acid is suppressed, a sphincter at the top of your stomach doesn't get the signal to close. It stays open and weakens over time. Meanwhile, you can't absorb the minerals every cell in your body needs. The box says: "Do not take longer than 14 days." I've had clients on Prilosec for 20 years. I just worked with two clients, both with daily head pain, both on PPIs for decades, both still experiencing heartburn even on the medication. We restored their digestive function, reduced their migraines significantly, and weaned them off Prilosec without rebound. Your heartburn and migraines are connected because both signal blockers in your body's ability to get nutrients to cells, clear waste, and restore vitality. If you're on a PPI and struggling with migraines, let's talk.

"Just take 400mg of vitamin B2 every day, it might be the missing piece for your migraines!" If you've been on social media lately, you've probably heard this advice. Maybe from a doctor. Maybe multiple times. Vitamin B2, CoQ10, magnesium, the miracle nutrient parade never ends. In this episode, I'm explaining about why this drives me crazy. Here's the thing: People have been getting the B2 recommendation for decades. Even conventional neurologists are recommending it now. And yet, chronic migraines keep getting worse. If you have an occasional headache and happen to have a tiny B2 deficiency, and your digestion is working perfectly, and you don't have metabolic waste buildup, sure, B2 might help. But if you have chronic migraines? It's not a B2 issue. By the time you're experiencing chronic migraines, you have blockers and deficiencies across all three principles your body needs to maintain health. You're not just missing one vitamin. It goes deeper than that. I also address the anxiety around "genetic migraines." Yes, there's a hereditary component, the ancient Greeks wrote about this. But you're not genetically doomed. You have to fall out of health first before you express those hereditary tendencies. Chasing silver bullet supplements will only frustrate you. Start addressing the root causes.

Your migraines disappeared for 10 years... now they're back. Did you get worse, or are you actually getting better? This might sound crazy, but when migraines return after remission, it doesn't always mean you're declining. You might be moving through your migraine zone on your way to better health. In this episode, I teach the compass needle analogy. This is the framework I use to evaluate every client's true health status. Your health is like a compass needle. North is optimal health. As the needle moves west and south, it passes through symptom zones you're prone to: allergies, heartburn, migraines, autoimmune disease, and beyond. Here's what almost no one understands: You can be too sick to get migraines. Your needle can drop below your migraine zone into more severe illness. When I developed Graves' disease in 2012, I stopped getting migraines, not because I was healthier, but because I was too sick to generate them. The crucial question: When symptoms disappear, did your needle move toward north (health) or south (decline)? Medication can mask symptoms without moving your needle at all. Side effects often indicate your needle is dropping even further. I also share the story of a client whose migraines improved during a bad cold, her body didn't have enough vitality to do both. Plus, you'll hear about lessons from my work in addiction medicine where patients would suddenly get terrible colds around week three of recovery as their vitality returned.

At age 50, I finally pursued my lifelong dream of playing tennis, but it took me six months just to walk through the club doors. I was terrified. I'd never seen myself as athletic. Three years later, I just won all three sets in a women's doubles match for the first time. Here's what makes this so meaningful: At age 40, I was so sick I couldn't climb stairs without nearly collapsing. I had an autoimmune reaction that destroyed my thyroid. It took me years to just feel normal again. To go from that at 40 to this at 53? It's proof that the identities we carry aren't always true. " I'm not athletic." "I'm a chronic disease sufferer." "I'm too old." "It's too late." Those stories we tell ourselves? They're not always accurate. And they definitely don't have to be permanent. In this episode, I share my tennis journey and the lessons it's taught me about fear, identity, and doing hard things scared. Because most of the really important things in life? You're probably going to have to do them terrified. That's normal. That's okay. If you're lying awake wondering if this is all you have left, I've been there. I know those 3 AM tears. But your body's potential is so much greater than you think.

You're on multiple preventatives. Brain fog, hair loss, exhausted all the time. You feel "stable" but not good. You tell your neurologist you want to come off one. They say: "Cut it in half for a week, quarter it for another week, stop in two weeks." You follow their advice. Two weeks later? Massive migraine flare that lasts five days. You're back in their office. They shrug: "Well, what did you expect? I guess you need the medication." So you think: I guess I'm stuck on this forever. Here's the truth: Nobody has a Topamax deficiency. You weren't born needing it. Dr. Leslie has walked hundreds of clients through weaning off Topamax, propranolol, gabapentin, nortriptyline, even antipsychotics and anti-seizure meds. If you try to come off preventatives while still getting 10 migraines a month, it won't go well, even with a slow wean. Dr. Leslie breaks down the two critical factors for successfully coming off preventatives: timing (your health must be restored first so migraine frequency drops significantly) and the correct wean-off approach (not your neurologist's rushed 2-week plan).

Are you waiting for a supplement to "fix" your migraines? Hoping the next practitioner will finally be the one who heals you? Dr. Leslie tackles a pet peeve topic: natural medicine practitioners calling themselves "healers." Here's the truth: No one can heal you except your own body. Not a doctor, not a supplement, not a "healer." Your body was designed with an inherent healing mechanism, just like a tree that regrows bark over an injury. The question isn't whether you can heal, it's whether you're giving your body what it needs to activate that process. Most migraine sufferers are stuck in a passive cycle: take a pill (prescription or supplement), wait for it to work, repeat. But healing doesn't happen when you're passively swallowing capsules and waiting. It happens when you're actively engaged in making changes across your entire environment, physical, mental, emotional, even spiritual. Dr. Leslie explains why handouts about "healthy sleep habits" and long supplement lists aren't enough. Real healing requires deeper work: understanding why you started staying up until midnight in the first place, working through the mental-emotional patterns sabotaging your recovery, and identifying where your life fell out of alignment. This work is hard. There will be aspects of getting through the jungle that challenge you deeply, habits that are tough to change, mental-emotional patterns that require honest (and sometimes painful) examination. But when you give your body what it needs within Dr. Leslie's three principles, it will do what it was designed to do: restore itself to health. If you're ready to stop being a passive recipient of pills and start actively engaging in your own healing process, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

Have you been avoiding aged cheese, leftovers, and fermented foods because someone told you histamine triggers your migraines? Eating only fresh-cooked meals and still getting migraines anyway? Dr. Leslie breaks down the histamine myth that's keeping migraine sufferers trapped in restrictive diets, and reveals what's actually happening in your body. Histamine isn't the villain. It's a necessary chemical messenger your body uses for immune response, stomach acid production, neurotransmitter balance, and healing. Without histamine, you couldn't digest your food or fight off infections. So why do some people get migraines from histamine-containing foods while others don't? Why can you eat leftovers one day and feel fine, but eat the same food three days later and end up bedridden? It's about your toxin bucket. Dr. Leslie explains how your body continuously generates metabolic waste that goes into an internal "trash can." When that bucket overflows, when your liver, lungs, and kidneys can't drain it fast enough, even a small amount of dietary histamine tips you over the edge into a migraine. But when your bucket has room? You can eat restaurant food, leftovers, aged cheese, and fermented foods, without consequence. The solution isn't avoiding histamine forever. It's draining the bucket by giving your organs of detoxification what they need: adequate nutrients and cellular voltage. When those organs function optimally, they process histamine efficiently, from food and from your own body's production.. If you've been avoiding histamine foods and want guidance on how to heal your digestion, drain your bucket, and reintroduce foods safely, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations. Schedule your free consultation with Dr. Leslie and stop living on a restrictive diet. https://www.drlesliecisar.com/apply   Free Training: 5 Proven Steps to Being Migraine Free (Even if you think you've already tried everything.) https://www.drlesliecisar.com/5SHMN   Connect with us: Website: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/ Free Facebook Group:  Healing Migraines Naturally, with Leslie Cisar, ND Ready to try something radically different that actually works?

The holidays are supposed to be joyful. But when you have chronic migraines, this time of the year brings dread. Can you host family dinner without ending up in bed? Should you risk that glass of wine? How do you make plans when you can't trust your body? Here's what Dr. Leslie wants you to know:  Most of her clients start feeling noticeably better within 4 weeks. If you started now, imagine where you'd be by Thanksgiving. What would it mean to host family with confidence? To enjoy pumpkin pie without panic? By Christmas, you could feel even better! Dr. Leslie's approach doesn't involve extreme restriction. She often increases the variety of foods her clients can eat, because most migraine sufferers are already avoiding half the menu. The question isn't whether you should wait until after the holidays. It's whether you want to spend another holiday season sitting on the sidelines. If you're ready to feel better by Thanksgiving and transform your 2026, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations to walk through your symptoms and create a plan.

Do you hear a constant high-pitched ringing in your ear? Wake up at 3 AM unable to fall back asleep because that sound won't stop? Been told there's nothing you can do and you'll just have to "learn to live with it"? Dr. Leslie reveals the surprising connection between tinnitus and migraines, and why that ringing in your ears isn't necessarily permanent damage. For some migraine sufferers, tinnitus only appears during a migraine, acting as an early warning symptom before the pain hits. For others, it's there all the time, blamed on concert exposure or loud work environments from years ago. Here's what most doctors won't tell you: If your tinnitus flares and remits, it's probably not anatomical damage. It's a sign that the cells in your inner ear don't have what they need to function properly. Dr. Leslie breaks down her three principles: getting nutrients to cells, clearing metabolic waste, and restoring cellular voltage. When these cells don't have adequate nutrients, when trash is piling up inside them, and when their voltage is low, they can't pick up and transmit sound signals properly. That's when the ringing starts. If you'd like to understand what's actually driving your tinnitus and whether it can heal, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations. https://www.drlesliecisar.com/apply   Free Training: 5 Proven Steps to Being Migraine Free (Even if you think you've already tried everything.) https://www.drlesliecisar.com/5SHMN   Connect with us: Website: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/ Free Facebook Group:  Healing Migraines Naturally, with Leslie Cisar, ND Ready to try something radically different that actually works?

Are you paranoid about drinking enough water? Constantly carrying that gallon jug with timestamps telling you how much to drink by 9 AM, by noon, by 3 PM? Dr. Leslie breaks down the myth that migraine sufferers need to drink excessive amounts of water to avoid dehydration triggers. The truth? That "drink 64 ounces a day" recommendation from the 90s came from nowhere. There's zero research behind it. And now people are being told to drink even more. Here's what's actually happening: When you flood your body with water, you create a relative mineral deficiency. Your kidneys struggle to filter all that excess fluid while trying to hold onto essential minerals like sodium and potassium. If you're already mineral deficient (especially if you take acid blockers like Prilosec or Tums), you're literally flushing minerals out through your urine. Dr. Leslie reveals what she's found working with hundreds of clients: When your body is in a state of health, you only need about 40 ounces of water per day, around four cups. Your natural thirst will guide you to drink what you need. Excessive thirst is actually a symptom. It usually means your body is trying to dilute an overload of metabolic waste and toxins. As her clients restore their health, their thirst normalizes, and they stop waking up to urinate multiple times per night. If you'd like to understand what your symptoms are actually telling you and address the root cause instead of force-feeding yourself water out of fear, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

If you can't leave the house without sunglasses, keep the curtains closed in your own home, or need to hide in a dark conference room at work just to get through the day, this episode is for you. Dr. Leslie breaks down what light sensitivity is actually telling you about your migraines, and why it's not something you have to live with forever. She explains how those tiny photons of light hitting your retina are physical stressors that push your "needle" down toward the migraine zone. When you don't have enough resilience and vitality to push back, even normal lighting becomes unbearable. Some days you can handle sunshine for hours. Other days, five minutes in the cart triggers a severe migraine. But there's a second piece: the hypersensitivity. When your body is overloaded with metabolic waste material and toxins, you become hypersensitive to everything. Light, sound, weather changes, smells, even minor social interactions, everything can become a trigger. If you'd like to understand where you stand within Dr. Leslie's three principles and why your body is generating light sensitivity and migraines, she offers free consultations.

Dr. Leslie breaks down a $100+ "miracle migraine supplement" that appeared in her Facebook feed, and reveals why it probably won't solve your migraines. This new product contains ketones and ribose sugar, claiming these are breakthrough ingredients your brain needs. But Dr. Leslie explains why the science behind these claims is misleading, and sometimes flat-out wrong. First, the website claims your brain prefers ketones as fuel. That's false. Your brain prefers glucose. Ketones are an emergency backup when you're fasting or starving. The ketogenic diet (rebranded from the 1980s Atkins diet) forces your body into a famine state, which can burn out your adrenals and disrupt hormones, especially for women. Second, the product includes ribose sugar as a "shortcut" for cellular energy production. But your body already converts glucose to ribose naturally. This is kindergarten-level biochemistry for your cells. Supplementing what your body should make on its own creates "lazy organs" that stop doing their job. Dr. Leslie asks the critical question: If you're so nutrient-deficient that you need a $4-per-day powder, why can't you break down and absorb nutrients from actual food? The answer reveals the real problem, and it's not a missing supplement. If you're ready to stop chasing miracle supplements and address why your body can't function the way it's designed to, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations to help you identify what's actually blocking your healing.

Dr. Leslie answers a question from her Facebook group: "Why do I get a horrible migraine every time I try to eat healthier?" If you've ever felt trapped between knowing you should change your diet and your body punishing you when you try, this episode is for you. Dr. Leslie explains why abrupt dietary changes, - yes, even healthy ones - can trigger debilitating migraines. She breaks down how your digestive system becomes acclimated to your current routine, even if that routine is fast food and survival mode. When you suddenly switch from a Big Mac to chicken and broccoli, your body goes into shock. Your gallbladder prepared for fat that isn't coming. Your pancreas expected glucose that never arrived. Your stomach doesn't have enough acid for all that protein. The result? A three-day migraine that makes you give up on healing entirely. Dr. Leslie reveals why this isn't a detox reaction or a sign that healthy food doesn't work for you, it's simply your hypersensitive system responding to change. She explains how to make gradual shifts that support your digestive function instead of overwhelming it. If you've been stuck in the cycle of wanting to heal but feeling worse every time you try, and you'd like guidance on making changes your body can actually handle, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

Dr. Leslie introduces you to "Jessica," a client with daily head pain who wakes up feeling relatively okay, creates a massive to-do list, then races against time before inevitably ending up bedridden by 3 PM. Jessica's husband keeps telling her: "Honey, let me do that. You're doing too much. Just relax." But she just can't stop. Sound familiar? In this episode, Dr. Leslie explores the hidden connection between your never-ending task list, anxiety, and your migraines.  She explains why the daily race to accomplish everything before the pain hits is actually draining your vitality, the very thing you need to keep migraines at bay. Dr. Leslie reveals her compass dial analogy: your resilience and vitality are constantly pushing your needle away from the migraine zone, while stressors push it down. When you add anxiety-driven task racing to physical stress, you create the perfect storm. If you've ever felt guilty about resting, been told you need to "just relax," or wondered why you can't follow simple stress-reduction advice even though you desperately want to, this episode reveals the unconscious beliefs sabotaging your healing.

In this episode, Dr. Leslie introduces you to "Peggy," a new client whose story will sound incredibly familiar if you're struggling with chronic migraines. Peggy can barely eat until lunchtime, survives on crackers and cheese sticks, but then can't stop snacking on chips and pretzels after dinner, all while dealing with constant head pain. Sounds like you? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Leslie reveals the hidden epidemic affecting most migraine sufferers: severely compromised digestive function that creates a protective low appetite. Your body isn't being stubborn when you don't want breakfast, it's actually trying to protect you. You'll discover: - Why your digestive tract "sleeps in" when you have migraines - The real reason you crave easily digestible foods like crackers, chips, and toast - How your evening food cravings are your body desperately trying to make up for missed nutrition - Why forcing yourself to eat "healthy" foods can trigger migraines  If you've ever felt guilty about your eating patterns, been told you need more willpower, or wondered why you can't seem to follow "healthy" eating advice without feeling worse, this episode will change everything.

Dr. Leslie answers a popular question from her Facebook community of nearly 12,000 women: "Why do I get dark circles under my eyes after migraines?" This episode explores the connection between migraines and the wide range of eye symptoms that sufferers experience, including dark circles, light sensitivity, watery or puffy eyes, eye pain, blurry vision, and migraine auras. Here's the key insight most people don't know: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, any symptom affecting the eyes reveals the health of your liver, your body's primary detoxification organ. Since migraines are a major symptom of toxin overload in the body, it makes perfect sense that you'd experience eye symptoms during episodes. Dr. Leslie explains how the strain on your liver from trying to clear metabolic waste and toxins literally shows up in your eyes. This is why so many migraine sufferers deal with multiple eye-related symptoms that seem unrelated but are actually all connected to the same root cause. For more insights on this topic, check out Dr. Leslie's detailed blog post here. Ready to understand what's really causing your migraines and those frustrating eye symptoms?

Dr. Leslie addresses one of the most common questions she gets: "How do I stop getting migraines?" The answer might surprise you. It's not about finding the perfect diet, supplement, or exercise routine. It's about restoring your health. But here's where most people get confused. Dr. Leslie clears up the biggest misconception she encounters: thinking that restoring your health means improving your physical fitness level. If you've ever thought, "How can I restore my health if I can't even exercise without getting a migraine?" this episode is exactly what you need to hear. She breaks down the crucial difference between physical fitness and state of health. You'll also discover why most migraine sufferers are actually very sensitive to the physical stress that exercise puts on the body, and why that's completely normal when you're not in a state of health. Dr. Leslie explains how physical activity works as a stressor, requiring resilience and vitality to handle properly.

Dr. Leslie dives into one of the most talked-about diets in the migraine community: the carnivore diet. As someone who loves testing out different ways of eating (even before becoming a naturopathic doctor), she's given the carnivore diet multiple tries and is here to share her honest, firsthand experience. If you've been curious about whether eating only meat and eggs could be the key to stopping your migraines, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Dr. Leslie dives deep into stress-related migraines, explaining why why standard stress management techniques often fall short for migraine sufferers. Y You may recognize yourself in this episode if you: - Have difficulty sitting still or truly resting - Feel anxious when you try to relax because your to-do list starts racing - Have tried yoga, meditation, and mindfulness but still struggle with stress-related migraines Dr. Leslie reveals why approximately 90% of her migraine clients need to address the often-overlooked mental and emotional components of their condition. She explores how unconscious beliefs formed in childhood, like equating rest with "laziness" can create a cycle of chronic stress that directly contributes to migraines. This episode goes beyond surface-level stress management to explore: - Why women prone to migraines tend to be Type A personalities - How false beliefs about productivity and worth can drain your vitality - Why addressing these deeper patterns is crucial for true migraine healing If you've been told your migraines are "just stress-related" but haven't found lasting relief through conventional techniques, this episode will help you understand why, and what you can do about it. When we understand the deeper psychological patterns driving chronic stress, we can address the root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
