While medications are commonly prescribed by doctors to help manage pain, they usually come with a laundry list of side effects that you may wish to avoid.

I remember struggling with daily migraine symptoms, feeling like I was in a never-ending battle with my head and neck. Each day, I contemplated whether or not I could push through or turn to my medication cabinet for some slight relief. But then came the question of which med and how much?

I know many of you are in a similar situation and have the same struggle navigating medications. In this episode, we’re diving into how to move beyond the pill bottle and find real, sustainable relief that gets to the root cause of your migraines. 
 
In this episode, you’ll hear:

Questioning if medication is right for you and what the long-term side effects are.
How taking too much medicine can make migraines worse.
