Could your migraines be less about pain in your head—and more about hidden imbalances in your hormones, gut, and environment?
In this episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with functional medicine pharmacist Dr. Meg Mill to uncover the surprising root causes of chronic migraines—especially in women navigating hormonal shifts like menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause. Together, they explore how more than 50 potential triggers can fuel migraine symptoms, from dehydration and poor sleep to gut health issues, estrogen dominance, and histamine intolerance.
Dr. Mill shares how functional medicine helps uncover these connections and provides a roadmap for lasting relief.
