66. Light Sensitivity and Migraines: What Your Body Is Really Telling You

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.

Episode Transcript

hi there it's Doctor Leslie
welcome to the Healing Migraines Naturally podcast
and today I'm going to talk about light sensitivity
and migraines so this is something that is very
very common just with migraine flares themselves
and then unfortunately
when we get into that chronic migraine state
or condition it's very
very common for us to become just light sensitive
in general
so we may not be in the middle of a migraine flare
but we're still very sensitive to light
and so I wanna talk about that this week
because this is something that I was
very prone to myself so I used to be very
very sensitive to light
never able to leave the house without my sunglasses
always you know
putting a hat on
not only light but also like particularly sunlight
but artificial light 2
that could have been an issue for me
but particularly sunlight
I would say I was more sensitive to
so leaving the house without my sunglasses
forget about it right
you think
I'm gonna drive in the car without my sunglasses
visor down you know that sun visor down all the time
right that was definitely my life
if I didn't have my sunglasses with me
I'd probably just turn around
and go back in the house and get them
and then being outside
this was something that would generate
some anxiety for me
so if I were meeting a friend for coffee at Starbucks
and if it was a nice day
my mind would immediately start going to oh gosh
is she gonna wanna sit outside
well gosh does that Starbucks
do they have do they have umbrellas
like I can't sit in the sun
I'm gonna need to be in the shade
do I need to bring a hat what if she gets there first
and then she takes the shady side of the table
I better get there like early so I can grab my spot
like it would be this whole like anxiety rundown
just to meet somebody for coffee
worrying that I might be exposed to sunlight
and exposed to that light
I have definitely experienced where the sunlight
like reflecting like off the hood of a car
or like a flash
like the sunlight reflecting like off of a mirror
into my eyes I've gotten auras
and then subsequent full blow migraines after that
so I totally relate to people that have that
light sensitivity a lot of my clients
they may not be as sensitive to sunlight as I was
a lot of my clients are more sensitive
to artificial light so um
the fluorescent lighting
if they're going in like Sam's Club Costco
Walmart
that overhead fluorescent lighting that's a nightmare
right so that artificial lighting
if if they work in an environment with overhead
artificial lighting that's a nightmare
I work with a lot of teachers
and so that classroom environment
you've got the overhead lighting
then you've got the lighting for the presentation
you know the classroom presentation
projecting on the whiteboard
that's that's a real nightmare
some people are very sensitive to the light
coming from a computer screen
or from a device
and so just going into work and you work on a computer
and that computer light
hitting the retina all the time is just excruciating
so with light sensitivity
you know very commonly
there's like particular type of light
that people are more sensitive to
than other types of light
but the overall umbrella here right
is a light sensitivity in some form
so like I say it's it's you know
kind of a classic migraine symptom
that when you're in that full blown migraine right
you wanna be in the dark room
you want the drapes pulled you know
all the lights off right a lot of people
they're not gonna get on their phone
or they're not gonna even watch TV
if they have a migraine
they're just gonna listen to something
perhaps because they're so light sensitive
a lot of people even have to put like an eye mask on
that type of thing
just to make sure that they're completely blocking
any light from hitting their retina
that's a kind of a classic
well documented migraine symptom
and while that's horrible enough
once you come out of the migraine
that remits and you kind of go back to your
you know quote unquote normal life
once you get into that chronic migraine
state like I used to be in
like my clients are in
this is where the light sensitivity amps up
and is there to some degree
even if we're not in a full blown migraine right
so now this light sensitivity symptom
this is impacting our life
even if we're not in the full blown
throes of a migraine and this can get very
very frustrating a lot of people
they have to wear sunglasses even inside of their home
right I have
you know I have many clients who have daily headaches
and migraines and very commonly
when you get to that level of frequency and severity
now you're in your own home with your sunglasses on
you're in your own home with all the curtains drawn
with the lights dimmed I've had clients
where they have not opened the curtains
or the blinds in their home for years
they don't remember the last time
they opened up the blinds
and the curtains in their home
because just that light coming into the room
is too much for them to bear
and you know
this is not pleasant most people
their mood is affected
if they're not receiving adequate sunlight
and so if we have to live even in our own home
with the curtains drawn
without getting that natural light coming in
hitting our retina
many people are going to struggle with a low mood
so you know
again by the time we have those chronic migraines
especially if we're in daily head pain
you know it would be kind of unusual
if your mood was chipper and bright right
already
you're going to be struggling with a low mood and
you know feeling doomed and struggling with despair
and then
you can't even get that sunlight hitting your retina
so it's well documented that exposure to the sun
you know we humans are not nocturnal animals
we are supposed to be awake when the sun is up
and that sunlight hitting our retina
regulates our circadian rhythm
and helps regulate a whole
whole variety of hormones that I won't even go into now
so when we have this light sensitivity symptom
throughout our you know
day
and then we can't receive that input of the sunlight
it really impacts the whole system here
so it's you know
this this light sensitivity symptom
it's really no joke so I wanna discuss what is like
what is that light sensitivity symptom
actually telling us
and how does it relate to the overall
underlying causes of the migraines themselves
so if you've been following the podcast
I talk about the three things that we have to do
to restore our health and also maintain our health
so that our body doesn't generate migraines
and I call these things the three principles
so when we are in a state of health
our body doesn't generate symptoms
we just feel good
we're living our life to our full potential physically
mentally emotionally
and spiritually
but when we fall out of a state of health
it's because there's some deficiencies or some blockers
or some missing pieces
within what I call the three principles
so if we want to restore our health
and maintain our health we have to understand first
what are those blockers or deficiencies
or missing pieces within these three principles
and then what do we need to do to remove blockers
fill up deficiencies
kind of restore ourselves within these three principles
when we give our body what it needs
within all three of these principles
our body is designed to restore itself back to health
back to homeostasis back into balance
and then we don't have symptoms
so so what are the three principles
the three principles are No. 1
we have to get the nutrients that our cells need
our cells run on nutrients
they don't run on Starbucks Frappuccinos
and unicorn dust
everything that our cells are going to do
require nutrients
so we have to be able to get the nutrients to the cells
that's principle No. 1 principle No. 2 is
we have to remove metabolic waste material
and other toxins from the cells
and ultimately from our body
so when our cells
get those nutrients that they need to do their work
they do their work but then they make waste material
they make byproducts metabolic waste materials toxins
our cells are making those all the time
it's not just about the things
in the environment are cleaning supplies
or the pesticides or the air pollution
those things don't help
but our body is making toxins all the time as well
that's normal that's why we have the ability
to get these things out of our body
but if there's a backup if there's a backlog
then we're gonna have a problem
and then the third principle is
we have to restore our resilience and vitality
so that we can withstand the stressors
that are continuously bombarding us
and kind of knocking us out of a state of health
so that's the three principles
so how does this relate to light sensitivity
so
when that photon of light comes in and hits our retina
that is a tiny physical stressor on our body
so when we are in a state of health
it's like we have a needle pointing north
and when the needle is north
it's in the green zone and we feel good
our body is not generating symptoms
now we're never gonna stay in the green zone
because we are continuously being by stressers
and those stressers
are going to push our needle down towards west
so when we think of stressors
we don't think of like little
tiny photons of light hitting our retina
we think of like really big things right
like I ran five miles that's gonna be a stressor
so we have big stressors
and we have little tiny stressors
but we are continuously being bombarded
by stressors big and small
and those are pushing our needle down
hi there it's Doctor Leslie
if you're a woman
having eight or more migraine days a month
let's talk
I'll show you how to drop them to near zero in 90 days
without adding more medication
in fact you can even lower
or maybe even completely
wean off of your medication within 90 days
and without agonizing cold Turkey withdrawals
let me tell you about my client Judy
she was on such strong medications for her migraines
that she was nearly bedridden
and could barely function
she had to close the doors of her small business
and felt like a failure she wondered every day
why am I doomed to suffer from these migraines
but just like you
she started listening to my Healing Migraines
Naturally podcast and a spark ignited
she knew that if she could just figure out
why these migraines started in the first place
she could restore and recover her health again
so she booked her free console call with me
and the rest is history
she now goes months between migraines
and runs her small business full time again
because she's completely off of those preventative
medications she followed the 12 week plan
and got incredible results
I've worked with women just like Judy
from all over the United States
overcome migraines naturally
so if you're serious about healing your migraines
then tap the link in the description
and book a free consult call
with me just like Judy did
we do cap new clients monthly
so if the calendar is full
the doors are closed for now
so don't wait to reclaim the life you deserve to live
no matter how hopeless things seem
now with expert guidance
you can heal and recover from migraines
so I look forward to chatting with you
click the link now to schedule your call
we have physical stressors
we have mental and emotional stressors
kind of the things that we call stress right
like oh
that was really stressful
that's a mental and emotional stressor
and then we have all of these physical stressors
that are pushing the needle down
like little photons of light
it's our own resiliency and vitality
that keeps the needle up
in the face of all of these stressors
and this is what I mean within this third principle
so we have to have enough resiliency and vitality
to weather this constant constant
constant pushing down of our needle
we have to counter that with our own resilience and
vitality
so when these photons of light are hitting our retina
as I'm taping this
I'm sitting in front of two really big lights
and there would have been a time where I would have
thought
I would never make it through a 45 minute podcast
with all of these lights hitting me
but I can do that now I have to have
enough resilience and vitality to weather
the stressor of these intense
LED video lights hitting my retina
bombarding my retina as I'm taping this
so my needle is continuously getting pushed down here
and I've got to keep it up in the face of that
so I have and if you're listening to this podcast
and you're prone to migraines
you too we have a little zone on this dial
that's called migraine zone
and so if our needle goes into that zone
we are going to get a migraine
and everyone on this dial has little symptom zones
right
could be because people are prone to different symptoms
different symptom patterns or different symptom
like clusters we call those diseases or diagnoses right
so everyone along this dial
they have sort of
their little symptoms that they're prone to
it might be irritability
it might be hypertension or high blood pressure
might be migraines might be autoimmune disease
totally south is death we want to avoid that right
so but
you know as the needle falls
then our body is going to generate the symptoms
that correspond to what's on our dial
so we have a little dial
a little zone on our dial called migraine zone
and if our needle gets pushed into that zone
we're going to start to develop the first
the very first symptoms of a migraine
I call that the uh oh moment right
the needle goes right to the top of the zone and we go
uh oh I feel something right
uh oh I feel that way in my head
when I might start getting a migraine or
uh oh I feel that weird feeling in my stomach
when I start to get a migraine right
that's the uh oh moment so we are exposed to that light
we're being bombarded by photons of light
the stress of that is pushing our needle down
and if we don't have the resiliency
and vitality to push the needle back up
we're gonna tip right into the top of our migraine zone
and that's when we're gonna go
uh oh it's really bright
uh oh things are looking a little weird
right at the beginning for a lot of people
when they first get into that migraine zone
the light starts looking a little strange right
it's like things seem just a little different
things might seem a little bit brighter
or they seem a little less clear
a little fuzzy there's just like
a little shift in how we perceive the light
if we're prone to auras
then we start to notice the very
very first little inclined that we're getting an aura
right and a lot of auras
will be set off by this inability
to weather the stress of these photons of light
I've definitely experienced that
where I've gotten kind of blasted by a lot of light
photons by like a reflection off of a car hood
or something like that
and that's been enough to tip me into an aura
and then a full blown migraine
so from a third principle standpoint
we have to have enough resilience
and vitality to weather the stress
of those photons hitting our retina
so the it's not just the same every day
it ebbs and flows and we can feel this right
because there's some days where
we can be outside for a couple hours
and we never have that uh oh moment
we never have that full blow migraine
and then there's other days where we're like
in the car for five minutes
and we're going uh oh
this is too much right
because our resilience and vitality
varies on a day to day basis
so some days we can weather these triggers
right better than other days
so we can restore our resilience and vitality
there are natural therapies
that will add vitality to us
there are vitality enhancing habits
or vitality draining habits
so those are things that we might need to look at
like for example
if we stay up until 2:00 in the morning
playing video games
that's not gonna be a vitality enhancing habit right
so sometimes we need to tidy up some habits
to increase our vitality
but what is the problem for most of us
is that we actually have
some holes in our vitality bucket
so I like to think of our vitality as sort of like
we've got this vitality bucket
and we wanna fill up our vitality bucket
so that we have
enough vitality to weather all of these stressors
but we have
like a hole in the bottom of our vitality bucket
and so we're draining our vitality
so we're constantly like
I'm gonna go to bed on time and I'm gonna eat right
and I'm gonna work on you know
relaxing more we're gonna work on all of these habits
but it's like we can never get that bucket filled up
well that's
cause we've got a hole in the bottom of the bucket
we need to patch that up and these holes
are coming from the mental and emotional side of us
so I've done other podcasts
on how the mental and emotional component
2 migraines is draining our vitality
or creating a hole
in the bottom of our vitality bucket
so
if we're going to improve our resilience and vitality
there's usually two pieces
one is doing sort of a little tidy up
if we have any habits
or something that are draining our vitality
that we didn't realize like I say
there are some natural therapies
that will add vitality to us
but all of this will be for naught
if we don't identify
if there's a hole in our vitality bucket
and do what we need to do to patch that hole up
and when we do that then that's gonna go a long way
to increasing our ability to withstand
all of these photons hitting our retina
all of this exposure to all of this light
and then you too can be able to sit in front of
you know high intensity lights for a long time
you know what would it be like to be in your home
and be able to open up the curtains and the blinds
and be able to get that nice sunlight into your home
again not having to wear sunglasses in your home
feeling comfortable going back to work
and not having to hang out in a conference room
with the lights off during part of the day
because you can't take the overhead lighting anymore
being able to go in a store and shop leisurely
without having to worry about the overhead lighting
making you feel worse right
a big component of that is just our resilience
and vitality in the face of those stressors
there's a second component to light sensitivity
and that is within the second principle
so
when we have an overload of metabolic waste material
and other toxins in the body
then we become hypersensitive to tiny things
so this is another notorious issue
for people with chronic migraines right
we are hypersensitive to the tiniest
tiniest little things right
so it's not just the little
photons of light that we're sensitive to
but we're sensitive to the weather right
there's a barometric pressure change
that no one else can even perceive is happening
and we're getting struck down with a migraine
I've had clients where the wind blows too hard
and they're in bed with a migraine
and everybody else is like it's
you know it's windy or
you know I barely noticed right
we're so sensitive to the tiniest noises
the tiniest like odors then
we get hypersensitive to any changes in our routine
right we wake up too early migraine
we go to bed too late migraine
we normally eat lunch at noon and it gets pushed till 2
migraine right
any tiny tiny little thing we become hypersensitive to
and that's on the physical side
those things that I described are like
physical stressors
but then on the mental and emotional side
we also become hypersensitive
so this is where the irritability comes in right
oh gosh will you stop tapping on the table
you're just annoying me so much right
like it get get to the point where people
like the tiniest little noise
like they hear somebody chewing right
and they're just like oh my goodness
that chewing noise right
and other people are like
I can't I don't hear any chewing right
but we're like oh my goodness right
stop chewing like these tiny
tiny little noises we become really
really irritable right
we become really keyed up right
so we startle easily right
somebody walks in the room and we didn't realize
and then we see him and we're like
jumping out of our skin right
so this hypersensitivity
any little conflict with somebody right
oh my goodness I said that at work
I said that in the meeting
and then we're up in the 2:00 2
3:00 o'clock in the morning
we're up replaying the meeting
oh my goodness
should I have said that
maybe I shouldn't have said that
maybe I should have said it like this right
it's like we're just like hypersensitive
did I say the wrong thing
did I offend someone right
it's this mental and emotional keyed up
irritable hypersensitive state that we get into
so all of these hypersensitivity reactions
are actually symptoms that you have
an overload of metabolic waste material
and toxins that's built up in the body
and what what is the connection to this and toxins
so toxins which is kind of
a big buzzword within the natural medicine industry
that I'm a part of as a naturopathic doctor
I like to call them
I usually call them metabolic waste materials
because our body is making them
and this is a big point that I'm trying to get across
because
people are so paranoid around environmental toxins
which I'm not downplaying
it's not great to be exposed
to all of these environmental toxins
but there's very little we can do about it
we can make you know
conscientious choices around cleaning products
or things we're bringing into our home
whether you know
eating organic is within budget this week
though
there are some choices that we can make to eliminate
environmental toxins
but so much of what we're exposed to is just
steeped in the environment
and there's not
a tremendous amount that we have control over
and also it's not like
we've always been living in a pristine environment
we like to think that you know
500 years ago people were living in sort of this like
crystal clear air
crystal clear water type of environment and that in
you know pre industrial times
people were not exposed to environmental toxins
and this is not accurate so when people you know
we've been lighting fires since the dawn of time
so when you burn things
you are putting a tremendous amount of toxins
into the air and so here in America
we're living in homes
where the interior air quality is actually
like incredibly pristine
compared to the air quality in people's dwellings
in the past in preindustrial times
people would be you know burning wood
animal dung
in their dwelling without very much ventilation
adequate ventilation this is
this was not a pristine environment
that people were living in
from an air quality perspective
if you're talking about water quality again
there are some toxins in our water now
because of the purification process
that it's not full of naturally occurring metals
and things like that that maybe
in the water supply that people were drinking
so like I say
I'm not gonna get into a whole ton specifics on this
but basically what I'm trying to say is
we have this kind of mythology around
you know the pristine
environment that humans were living in before
human industry and that's not really accurate
we were living in dwellings that were
you know overgrown with mold and poor ventilation
and in the whole bit so
we've been exposed to environmental toxins
since the dawn of time and also our body makes toxins
so even if we were living in some sort of
pristine environment with
you know mountain air and a spring water
and a fantastic dwelling
without any mold and great ventilation
our body is making waste material all the time
that's normal we have
processes within the body
to remove those toxins from the cell
and we have our organs of detoxification
and elimination to get them out of our body
so if we were you know
living in an environment without any toxins in the past
or if our body wasn't making toxins
we wouldn't have the ability to get rid of these toxins
from our body right
so we have what we need to get the waste material
and the environmental toxins out of our body
our liver and our lungs
and our kidneys are the three organs of detoxification
and then we eliminate processed toxins via the skin
via the stool via the urine
via the breath and for us women
when we menstruate
we are actually eliminating toxins with our period
every month and so
we have the ability detoxify these toxin molecules
and then eliminate them from the body
so if we have that ability
why are they building up so
if our organs of detoxification and elimination
don't have the nutrients that they need
to run the detoxification pathways
to get the toxins and waste material out of the cells
we're going to not be able to keep up with the load
again like
our liver is doing the bulk of the detoxification work
our liver needs nutrients to do that work
and so
if we have a deficiency within that first principle
of getting the nutrients to the cells
our liver is going to slow down
and then we're going to start to develop a backlog
from the other side we have our third principle
our resilience and vitality
this is not only sort of
this phenomenon with what I like to call our needle
or a compass needle
but it's also the literal cellular voltage
or cellular energy so again
if we don't have enough cellular energy
or enough cellular voltage within say
the liver
the liver is not gonna run those detoxification
pathways as fast
and so they're gonna slow down
and the liver is gonna
struggle to keep up with the load
so the first principle and the third principle
directly impact the second principle
and this is what is missing
this understanding is really missing
within the natural medicine industry
that I'm a part of because most people
within the natural medicine industry
they're always talking about detox
detox detox cleanse
cleanse
and they are trying to push the liver to run faster
but they're not addressing the first principle
or the third principle I see this all the time
when I take on new clients
and we do a detailed assessment
most of the people that work with me
they've already gone to a naturopathic doctor
or a chiropractor or a functional medicine doctor
I'm not the first natural practitioner
they've worked with so
I'm reviewing
what they've been told to do by their natural
practitioner
and it's it most of the time it's like detox
detox detox but they're not assessing
are we getting the nutrients that the liver needs
and does the liver have enough cellular energy
to actually run these detox pathways
so they're pushing all of this stuff
to try to make the liver run faster
and it's like you're beating a dead horse right
the horse isn't gonna run any faster if it's crippled
so first we
we have to get the first principle
and the third principle running better
in a better condition in a better state
and then
that's going to feed into the second principle
and we're going to start to actually get
this overload of waste
material and toxins out of the body
so this has to do with light sensitivity
and these other little hypersensitive
reactions that we have
that we're prone to with migraines
because the toxin molecules irritate the body
so you've probably heard of things like free radicals
free radical molecules again
a lot of people who are interested in natural healing
they might read a blog post
or hear a podcast about free radicals
and how they're sort of damaging the body
and you wanna get those out of the body well
toxin molecules
waste material molecules are free radical molecules
they're bumping into your cells
and they're causing little damage
they're causing tiny
tiny injury tiny damage to the cells of our body
so we're these waste material molecules
they're irritants to the body
and so as they build up and build up
we become more and more irritable physically
mentally and emotionally right
so we can kind of feel that physical irritability
with the light sensitivity
with the sensitivity to the wind
the the noise the odors right
all of these little hypersensitivity reactions
are actually symptoms
that your body is overloaded with waste material
and toxins those mental and emotional symptoms
like the irritability and the
like the worrying or we call it dwelling right
when you're up at 3 in the morning
replaying what you said in the meeting
you're dwelling on the meeting
that's a mental and emotional symptom
those are two of the most prominent
mental and emotional toxicity symptoms
irritability and dwelling
and if you
round up a bunch of chronic migraine suffers
and ask them if they're irritable
and they dwell on stuff in the middle of the night
most of them are gonna say yes
and those are actually toxicity symptoms
so I hope that this gives you a little bit of insight
into this light sensitivity phenomenon
and how that is you know
plays in to some of these other
like hypersensitivity symptoms
a lot of which we call migraine triggers
they're not really migraine triggers
they're symptoms of the state
of where you are at within these three principles
so if I have a client that is sensitive to light
like I used to be I know right out of the bat
that they're struggling within their third principle
their resiliency and vitality is a little bit low
because they can't keep their needle up
when those photons are hitting their retina
and I also know that they have an overload of waste
material and toxins because they have this symptom
that is actually a toxicity symptom
so if you would like to have a better understanding
of where you actually stand
within these three principles
then reach out to me and book a free console call
and let's get you started on this process
this is I think
one of the most interesting parts of the process
every new client I have
we do a full assessment on these three principles
and where they
stand within each of these three principles
and over and over again
my clients tell me that this has been a fascinating
aspect for them to actually understand in detail
what these symptoms mean and how they're all connected
because ultimately it's the interplay between all
three of these principles
that's driving
not only the migraines that your body is generating
but all of the other symptoms
that your body is generating
and I can tell you personally
since I was sensitive to light as well
that this is something that you don't have to live with
so I actually never wear sunglasses anymore
so I don't own a pair of sunglasses
I drive all the I
I drive without sun I mean
I don't own sunglasses
so anything that I'm doing is without sunglasses
it's just with these glasses
so I'm driving without sunglasses
I do play tennis
this is something that I started in the past few years
and I do wear a hat when I'm playing tennis
just so that I don't have
you know when I'm looking up to get the ball
I'm not getting the sun directly in my eye
and I have some visor
but I play tennis outside in the summer
without any sunglasses on
just with like a
like a ball cap on so that I have that visor
so
this is something that you can absolutely recover from
and like I say this is a symptom that
with my clients
I'm actually looking to see some improvement in
and over and over again I mean
it's so wonderful when I hear from a client
you know this week
I actually was able to go into work
and I was able to work eight hours at my desk
with the overhead lighting
without having to go in the conference room
with the lights out for a few hours
just to have a break from the light
or the first time my client say
you know what
I was actually able to take my sunglasses off
in my house this week
I was actually able to open up the curtains in my house
and let some natural light in
for the first time in 10 years into my home
I was able to actually go into target
and leisurely shop and like
check out the holidays you know
display or you know
casually just kind of browse the store
without this constant thing of like
what's on my list how much time have I been in here
I know I can only last like
10 or 15 minutes in the target
with these lights
they can actually enjoy shopping again
you you it
it's just wonderful to have those experiences
and to reclaim your you know
reclaim your life back
because it's something that we really take for granted
right how many people take for granted
just being able to go into a Walmart
a Sam's Club a Costco
and just leisurely shop
and actually enjoy the experience without having to
you know just worry about all those lights
with my clients that are teachers
you know the first time
that they can actually teach in their classroom
with the lights on you know
so many teachers with migraines
their classroom where the lights are off right
and you know
it's it's nice that
you know we can accommodate people that are suffering
but you know
it's even nicer to not be the odd one out
and be the one where you don't have the lights on
in the classroom right
so when I'm working with teachers right oh
today I was actually able
to turn the lights on in my classroom
I mean these are tremendous wins
tremendous wins for people
so
this is something that you can definitely recover from
it's part of the bigger picture
as to why you're getting migraines in the first place
so it's not some something that's sort of like
you know why is this happening or
you know what's this weird thing that only affects me
it actually makes perfect sense
when we experience this type of symptom
because it's a recurring
pattern or signal within these three principles
so let me know in the comments
if
light sensitivity is something that you struggle with
and again
if this resonates and it's something that you're like
it's time let's do this
I don't wanna suffer with this anymore
I don't wanna suffer with migraines
and I wanna be able to leave my house
