| 5/29/26 | ![]() 118. Why Migraine Disability Nearly Doubled, And What Nobody Is Explaining | Something in the migraine research stopped me cold when I was putting this episode together. The percentage of people who get migraines has been flat for 30 years. Same 18% of women, same 6% of men. But the percentage of those people losing significant days to their condition nearly doubled between 2005 and 2016. Same number of people. Twice the suffering. Researchers are baffled by this combination. I'm not. In this episode I walk through exactly why migraine disability is rising while prevalence stays flat, why the conventional neurological framework cannot explain it, and why that same data confirms everything I've been saying about what migraines actually are and what drives them. I also talk about why Migraine Awareness Month, as well meaning as it is, keeps raising awareness for the wrong problem. This one is for anyone who has been told their migraines are just their neurology, their genetics, their wiring. The data tells a different story.

| 5/26/26 | ![]() 117. What This Neurologist Got Wrong About Your Migraines (Again) | I clicked on one migraine reel a few weeks ago, and now my Facebook feed will not let me forget it. Dr. Painkiller is back, this time telling women that the things you think are helping your migraines are actually making them worse. Sleeping in. Skipping meals. Not taking your meds fast enough. And of course… your “migraine brain” loves routine, not chaos. In this episode, I’m breaking down what he gets wrong and why this kind of advice keeps women stuck. You don’t have a defective brain. You have a body that has lost its resilience, and the standard neurology playbook of “take the medication early, never miss a dose, stay on a perfect schedule” is exactly what turns episodic migraines into chronic ones. I share what’s really going on when sleeping in or waking up too early triggers a migraine, why “rebound” isn’t a personal failure, and what your body is actually asking for instead.

| 5/17/26 | ![]() 116. The Problem With Migraine Awareness Month | June is Migraine Awareness Month, and I want to talk about it, but not in the way you might expect. You won’t see me wearing the purple ribbon, posting Migraine Warrior content, or joining the walks. In this episode, I’m going deeper than I did the first time I talked about this, because I’m seeing a pattern in almost every woman I work with that I don’t want to leave unsaid. So many of us have been taught to white knuckle our way through migraines, show up no matter what, and identify with the fight, and while that survival mode might feel strong, it’s not healing. It’s control. And it keeps your attention locked on the disease instead of on the life you actually want. I share why so much of the awareness culture is shaped by the pharmaceutical industry, why the “warrior” identity quietly keeps you stuck, and what real healing actually looks like when you shift from maximum effort to intelligent, root-cause effort. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend going back and listening to Episode 39 Why I Don’t Wear the Purple Ribbon If you’re ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: 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?

| 5/14/26 | ![]() 115. The Real Reason Foods Trigger Migraines (A Personal Story) | After a family dinner out, I woke up the next morning with a few unexpected symptoms, and instead of being a problem, they were actually my body doing exactly what it’s designed to do. In this episode, I walk you through what was going on under the surface, why your body sometimes reacts to certain meals more strongly than others, and how this connects to the bigger picture of why migraines show up in the first place. If you’ve ever felt confused or frustrated about your body’s reactions, this one will give you a much clearer way to understand them.

| 5/13/26 | ![]() 114. What No One Tells You About Botox and Migraines | In this episode, I’m talking about something I’m not hearing many people in the migraine space discuss openly, Botox as a preventative treatment for chronic migraines. My goal isn’t to scare you or tell you what to do. My goal is to make sure you have the full picture before you make a decision about what goes into your body. I explain what Botox actually is, how it works in your body, why the migraine protocol uses far higher doses than cosmetic Botox, and the long-term concerns I have around muscle atrophy, neck function, CGRP, and your body’s overall toxic load. I also share why I believe neck pain is often a symptom of migraines rather than the cause, and what I recommend focusing on instead if you want real, long-term healing. If you haven’t yet listened to my previous episode on trigger point injections, I highly recommend pairing these two together, they build on each other and give you a fuller understanding of what’s really driving your chronic migraines.Check out the podcast episode about trigger point injections: Trigger Point Injections and Migraines.

| 5/7/26 | ![]() 113. Is Your Brain Really Wired Differently? Why I Disagree With This Neurologist’s Viral Reel | In this episode, I’m reacting to another Facebook reel making the rounds, this time from a neurologist who claims that migraine brains are simply “wired differently” and groups migraine sufferers in with neurodivergence like ADHD and autism. I push back hard on this idea, because I think it sets women up to give up on healing before they even start. My core point is that what you believe about your migraines shapes how you handle them. If you believe your brain is permanently defective, you’ll spend your life suppressing symptoms instead of looking at root causes. I explain why things like hypersensitivity to light, sound, and smells, plus brain fog, are actually textbook signs of metabolic waste and toxin overload, not a permanent brain wiring problem. You weren’t simply born this way, and there is a real path forward when you start addressing the actual drivers behind your migraines.

| 5/6/26 | ![]() 112. Trigger Point Injections and Migraines. What Nobody Tells You | If you've been considering trigger point injections for your neck and shoulder pain,or you've already tried them and wondered why the relief didn't last, this episode is for you. A lot of women with chronic migraines assume the neck is where the problem starts. It makes sense. The tension is real, the pain is real, and it feels like if you could just release that tightness the migraines would stop. But what if the neck isn't actually where your migraines begin? In this episode I break down what trigger point injections actually do, when they can offer some relief, and why for most chronic migraine sufferers they hit a real ceiling. I also explain what's actually causing that persistent neck and shoulder tightness, and why addressing the root of it changes everything.

| 5/3/26 | ![]() 111. Are Morning & Night Routines Really Healing Your Migraines? | Are morning and night time rituals really enough to stop chronic migraines? In this episode I’m reacting to a popular Life With Migraine article about nervous system rituals. I’ll share why I think these routines often fall short, how I interpret migraine symptoms, and the approach I use with my clients to help their bodies stop generating migraines in the first place.

| 4/28/26 | ![]() 110. Why Migraine Social Media Can Be So Harmful | In this episode, I’m taking a soapbox moment to talk about the two kinds of migraine content flooding social media. On one side are the compassionate, sympathetic reels that validate how hard migraine life is, but quietly reinforce the belief that this is just your permanent reality.On the other side are the quick-fix reels promising miracle supplements, hacks, and easy answers. I explain why both types of content can keep women stuck, one in victimhood, the other in false hope.Real healing is not about waiting to be rescued. It’s about actively changing the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual environment your body is trying to survive in.

| 4/23/26 | ![]() 109. Why Allergy Season Feels So Hard for Migraine Sufferers | In this episode, I’m talking about seasonal allergies and why so many women with migraines dread springtime. If you deal with nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and allergy flare-ups every year, I want you to understand that this is not random, and it’s not separate from your migraines. I explain why I see allergies as part of the same underlying pattern, not just a reaction to pollen or bad luck with genetics. In this conversation, I break down what’s happening physiologically when your body is overloaded, why the immune system starts generating more inflammation and mucus, and how that same internal imbalance can also contribute to chronic migraines. I also share part of my own history and why I no longer see allergies as something you’re doomed to just manage forever. If allergy season always feels like the beginning of migraine season for you, this episode will help you see the connection in a completely different way If you’re ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: 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?

| 4/22/26 | ![]() 108. Why Nighttime Urination is a Warning Sign for Migraine Sufferers | Do you wake up once, twice, or even three times a night to urinate and assume it’s just part of getting older? In this episode, I explain why nighttime urination is not something to brush off, especially if you struggle with chronic migraines. I break down why this symptom can point to deeper issues with kidney regulation, mineral deficiency, and nutrient delivery, and how those same imbalances can affect the brain and contribute to migraines.I also talk about how nighttime wake-ups can disrupt sleep, trigger stress hormones, and make healing harder, plus why long-term use of acid blockers like Prilosec may be part of the problem. If you’ve never thought of nighttime urination as an important clue, this episode will change the way you look at your symptoms.Related episode on hydration: Why I Disagree With the Medical Medium on Migraine Triggers If you’re ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: 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?

| 4/17/26 | ![]() 107. Why I Disagree With the Medical Medium on Migraine Triggers | In this episode, I’m responding to a Medical Medium reel about migraine triggers and breaking down where I think the conversation goes off track. I talk about dehydration, electrolytes, B12, stress hormones, caffeine, allergies, and sinus issues, but more importantly, I explain why these things are often stressors, not true root causes. My main point is that migraines don’t happen just because of one food, one supplement deficiency, or one bad day. They happen when the body has lost resilience and vitality and can no longer adapt well to stress. I also share why I’m skeptical of quick-fix migraine advice and why real healing means looking at physiology, digestion, nutrient delivery, and the deeper blockers keeping your body stuck in the migraine zone. If you’re tired of trying to avoid every possible trigger and want a more grounded, root-cause way to understand your migraines, this episode is for you.Related episodes: Here's Why Drinking Too Much Water Is Making Your Migraines Worse Low Appetite: The Migraine Connection No One Is Talking About If you’re ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: 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?

| 4/15/26 | ![]() 106. Intermittent Fasting and Migraines: What Women Need to Know | In I break down one of the most common questions I hear from women with migraines: should you try intermittent fasting? I explain why fasting can seem helpful at first, how it may support digestive rest in some cases, and why it can also be a problem for migraine sufferers who are sensitive to missed meals and blood sugar dips. We also unpack the difference between simply reducing food intake and actually restoring health. We talk through through inflammation, digestion, nutrient depletion, and why many women with chronic migraines are already in a state where more restriction can make things worse, not better. The core message is that true healing comes from rebuilding resilience, improving digestive function, and getting your body what it needs, now swinging from one extreme to the other.

| 4/10/26 | ![]() 105. Are Your Migraines Really From Mold? | In this episode, I’m talking about mold exposure and migraines, and why I think this topic is creating a lot more fear than clarity. I explain why mold has become such a hot diagnosis in the natural medicine world, how newer specialty lab testing has influenced that conversation, and why I don’t think mold is the root cause in as many cases as people are being told. I also break down what mold actually is, what mycotoxins are, why so-called “mold symptoms” often overlap with general toxin-overload symptoms, and how headaches and migraines can show up when the body is already under strain. If you’ve been wondering whether mold is really behind your symptoms, or whether it may just be the final straw in an already overloaded system.I expand on this topic here:https://www.drlesliecisar.com/podcasts/healing-migraines-naturally If you’re ready to address the root drivers of your migraines, you can book a free consultation at the link below: 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?

| 4/6/26 | ![]() 104. Chronic Migraines and the Grief No One Talks About | In this episode, I walk through an article about grief and migraine disease, and I share why grief is such a real part of living with chronic migraines. When migraines keep taking you out of your life, from work, relationships, travel, and everyday moments, of course grief shows up. I also talk about denial, anger, anxiety, and depression, and why so many women feel stuck between being told their migraines are just genetic and sensing there has to be a deeper reason. I explain how I see the difference between the allopathic model and the naturopathic model, why symptom suppression often leads to more frustration over time, and why taking a deeper look at what your body needs can completely change the way you think about healing.

| 4/1/26 | ![]() 103. What Self-Care Really Means for Migraine Sufferers | In this episode, I talk about what self-care actually means for women with chronic migraines. So often, self-care gets reduced to things like massages, facials, or a spa day — but for many women with migraines, that framing can feel frustrating and completely out of touch. I explain why real self-care is often much deeper, and why it has more to do with self-compassion than pampering. I also walk through a pattern I see in many women with migraines: being much harder on ourselves than we would ever be on someone else. I talk about self-reproach, overpushing, unconscious beliefs, and why learning to treat yourself in a more caring way can become an important part of migraine recovery.

| 3/27/26 | ![]() 102. Chiropractic for Migraines: Help or Hype? | A lot of migraine sufferers are told their spine is out of alignment and that chiropractic care could be the missing piece. In this episode, I break down when chiropractic treatment can actually be helpful, when it may miss the real issue, and why alignment is sometimes only part of the picture. I also explain why some women feel better after an adjustment, while others end up triggered into a migraine afterward. If you’ve ever wondered whether chiropractic care is worth trying for your migraines, this episode will help you think about it more clearly. I talk about the role of physical stress, why recurring misalignments may point to a deeper problem, and how to tell when chiropractic support makes sense versus when it’s probably not addressing the true root cause.

Do Massages Help Migraines, Or Make Them Worse? | A lot of migraine sufferers feel their attacks start in the neck and shoulders, so it makes sense to wonder if massage could help stop a migraine before it fully kicks in. In this episode, I break down when massage can actually be helpful, when it can make things worse, and why that neck and shoulder pain is often a migraine symptom itself — not the root cause. I also explain why some women walk out of a massage feeling better, while others end up with a full-blown migraine soon after.

| 3/18/26 | ![]() 100. Are Migraines Genetic? What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You | One of the most common questions I get is: are my migraines genetic? And I completely understand why: Most people are told by their doctor that migraines run in the family, which is really just a polite way of saying you're unlucky and there's nothing to be done about it. In this episode I explain why that answer is incomplete, and why it's keeping so many women stuck. Here's the truth: there is no migraine gene. Yes, there is a genetic predisposition, but whether those genes actually express themselves and generate migraines depends entirely on the environment your body is in. This is the science of epigenetics, and it changes everything. We have roughly the same number of genes as an earthworm. What makes us complex isn't the genes themselves,it's which ones get switched on and which ones get switched off based on your environment. Your symptoms are not a malfunction. They are your body's way of adapting to conditions that are less than optimal. And if you change those conditions, by giving your cells the nutrients they need, clearing metabolic waste, and restoring your resilience and vitality, your body no longer has a reason to generate migraines, regardless of your family history.

| 3/13/26 | ![]() 99. The Real Reason You Keep Getting Migraines (It's Not What You Think) | Have you ever noticed that a migraine feels almost exactly like a hangover? That's not a coincidence — and in this episode, I explain exactly why. Migraines are a major toxicity symptom. When the body accumulates more metabolic waste and environmental toxins than the liver can process, the bucket overflows — and that overflow is what we call a migraine. Just like we know a hangover means the liver is working overtime to process alcohol, a migraine means the liver is struggling to drain what I call the toxin bucket. I walk you through the Three Principles your body needs to function optimally: nutrients at the cellular level, metabolic waste clearance, and resilience and vitality. When those three things break down, your liver slows, the drain clogs, and any little stressor — sunlight, stress, a skipped meal — tips the bucket over. I also share why aggressive detox cleanses and milk thistle protocols actually make migraines worse for chronic sufferers, and why most natural practitioners aren't trained to see this. The answer isn't to push harder — it's to give the liver what it needs first, then gently open the drain.

| 3/11/26 | ![]() 98. The Real Reason Time Changes Hit Migraine Sufferers So Much Harder | Every spring and fall, I hear from so many of you that daylight saving time triggered a migraine—and it makes complete sense. That one-hour shift isn't just lost sleep. It disrupts your melatonin and cortisol rhythms, throws off your meal timing, and essentially puts your body through self-induced jet lag overnight. In this episode, I explain why migraine sufferers feel time changes so much harder than everyone else. Your body relies on routine to conserve energy—sleep, meals, light exposure all follow a predictable cycle that keeps your hormones balanced and your nervous system stable. When that cycle breaks abruptly, the stress pushes your needle straight into the migraine zone. The real question isn't how to survive time changes—it's why your resilience is low enough that a one-hour shift can trigger a full attack. I walk you through how to protect your cortisol and melatonin cycles before and after the clock change, and what it means if you're still suffering days later. If daylight saving time reliably knocks you down, your vitality bucket has holes that need patching—and that's exactly what I help women do.

Allergies, Sinus Pain, and Migraines: Why They're All the Same Problem | If you've ever had sinus pain and congestion during a migraine and wondered whether you also had a sinus infection, you're not alone. This is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—migraine symptoms there is, and it sends thousands of women through rounds of antibiotics, ENT visits, and nasal scopes every year with no real answers. In this episode, Dr. Leslie breaks down why nasal congestion, sinus pain, seasonal allergies, and that maddening dripping nose when you sit down to eat are all connected to your migraines—and why they're all pointing to the same underlying issue in your body. You'll learn why chronic nasal discharge is actually a toxicity symptom, why your body generates it on purpose and what happens when you suppress it, why migraine sufferers are disproportionately prone to allergies and sinus issues, and why that "trash can knocked over" feeling at the peak of a migraine is your body doing exactly what it's designed to do. Your body is not broken, confused, or running a defective immune system. It's doing the best it can with what it has. But if you're ready to give it what it actually needs so it stops having to work this hard, that's where the real work begins.

| 2/26/26 | ![]() 96. Why You Don't Feel Like Eating Meat Anymore (And What It Means for Your Migraines) | Have you noticed that meat, chicken, beef, fish, just doesn't sound appealing anymore? That you'd rather have Greek yogurt, cheese, or pasta than a piece of steak? That you used to eat a full hamburger and now a couple of bites feels like enough? Most people chalk this up to personal preference or "just how they're wired." But this is actually a symptom, and it has everything to do with your migraines. When digestive function starts to decline, your body does something smart but costly: it changes your appetite to steer you away from foods that are hard to break down and toward foods that are easy to digest, grains, dairy, soft starches. The dry chicken, the unappetizing steak, the cravings for chips and pretzels? That's not your personality. That's your digestive tract protecting you from the stress of breaking down food it can no longer handle. The problem is that animal foods are your most concentrated source of protein and amino acids, nutrients your body desperately needs to handle the relentless physical and mental stressors of modern life, make neurotransmitters, regulate hormones, and keep your cells functioning. When protein intake drops and stays low for years, your health declines quietly, and migraines follow. This episode explains why this is happening, why you can't simply force yourself to eat more, and how gently restoring digestive function naturally restores your appetite, without pushing your body into a migraine.

| 2/24/26 | ![]() 95. Should You Buy a Vagus Nerve Stimulator for Your Migraines? | Vagus nerve stimulators are the trending new device for migraines. FDA-cleared, handheld, marketed as a breakthrough. Sounds promising, right? But if you're wondering whether adding one more device to your migraine toolkit will finally be the answer, or if it's just another expensive band-aid, this episode breaks down what you need to know. You'll learn what the vagus nerve actually does (it powers your entire digestive tract, heart, lungs, and all your internal organs), how these devices work by adding electrical voltage to the nerve, and why they help some people but not others. The truth is this: Stimulating the nerve without addressing the root cause is like putting a band-aid on a cut that keeps reopening. If you're looking for the one thing that will finally crack the case, these devices won't be it. But if you're ready to address all three principles and understand why your body lost its resilience in the first place, this episode will show you the bigger picture.

| 2/20/26 | ![]() 94. 5 Things Your Neurologist Tells You to Do. And Why They Backfire | A neurologist shares her top 5 migraine tips: track your headaches, treat early, know your triggers, limit overuse, and consider preventative medications. Sounds helpful, right? But if you've followed this exact advice and ended up with more frequent migraines, worse medication dependency, and a longer list of triggers you can't avoid, you're not alone. This episode breaks down why standard neurologist recommendations, though well-intentioned, often lead to a cycle of worsening symptoms, increased medication use, and ultimately preventative drugs. You'll learn why tracking without a real plan demoralizes you, why taking meds at the first "uh-oh moment" robs you of your body's natural resilience, why chasing triggers is a fool's errand that leaves you bubble-wrapped and anxious, and how suppressing symptoms without addressing root causes guarantees your body will fight back harder. The real answer isn't more medication or stricter trigger avoidance, it's restoring the resilience and vitality that keeps your internal needle out of the migraine zone, even in the face of stressors like sunlight, food, dehydration, or a delayed meal. If you're trapped between a rock and a hard place, white-knuckling through medication reduction, or sitting in your neurologist's office in tears because nothing is working, this episode will help you understand why the standard path fails and what you can do instead.
