75. Stop Looking for Miracle Supplements (Here's What You Actually Need)

"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.

Episode Transcript

I wanna comment on this if you get migraine headaches
there's a really simple remedy
it's a vitamin
especially if you have a genetic type of migraine
that a lot of people have
and so if this is you
you need to know about what nutrient can help this
and it all has to do with a problem
in your mitochondria
if the mitochondria doesn't have the certain nutrient
it's going to produce a lot of inflammation
free radical damage and um
it's not going to work that well
and so vitamin B2 is the vitamin that you need
but you need it in higher amounts
I would recommend taking 400 mg every single day
and this might be the missing piece
of the puzzle that you needed okay
there's several
things that are gonna get me on my soapbox on this and
um like I say
love me love my soapbox first of all
we have the statement you know
this is gonna help you
especially if you have a special kind of migraines
that are genetic
right away that amps up people's anxiety right
oh my goodness I mean
I know I have migraines but what if they're genetic
oh oh my goodness
I mean let's face it
the ancient Greeks in their medical texts wrote about
there's obviously a hereditary component
to the health conditions that people are prone to
now the ancient Greeks they didn't know about genes
right
nobody knew about genes until less than 100 years ago
right so but so now we use this term genetics
but for thousands of years
people have realized
that there's a hereditary component
to the health conditions that people are prone to okay
so but now it's like oh
you might have a special kind of migraine
that's genetic it really like
kind of gives this like
scientific veneer over the top of it
or this like kind of
scientific credibility claim over the top of it
which is a little bit silly
I think most of us who are prone to migraines
we have family members that are also prone to migraines
I mean I have it on both sides of my family right
I mean
it's pretty rare that I have a client that's like
I'm the only one
only one that has headaches and migraines
it's like
pretty obvious that there's a hereditary component
to not just migraines
but like most of the health conditions we're prone to
I've talked about this in other podcast
it's not that we are genetically doomed
to have a certain health condition
first we have to fall out of a state of health
and then the health conditions that we are prone to
when we are not in a state of health
that's what we're going to experience okay
so we'll link to that podcast in the show notes here
but I kind of get a little irritated
especially like somebody coming on to social media
that's a doctor
and like amping up the anxiety for people
I that that kind of irritates me okay
now you need this particular nutrient
oh boy
what miracle nutrient has been discovered for migraines
I can't wait to hear what this special
new revolutionary nutrient is going to be
to help with migraines
that could really just be the total migraine answer
oh my goodness what nutrient could it be
okay suspense
what what is it
oh B2
I mean are you kidding me
oh my goodness for how many decades now
have people been told to take vitamin B2
are you kidding me like this is groundbreaking news
I mean even
conventional neurologists
now are telling people to take B2 right
that used to be like the neurologists
if like their patient said oh
my chiropractor told me to take B2 like 30 years ago
the neurologist would practically like
throw them out of the office
are you crazy B2
but now even neurologists are recommending B2
like that's how mainstream and how like
overblown this B2 supplementation is right
if you have a like a little tiny right
you're just like
just a little tiny nutrient deficiency
and it's definitely B2 and you take a little bit
and your digestion is working well
and it can extract that B2 from the capsule
and it can get it into your bloodstream
and it can circulate it throughout your body
and you don't have any other factors
you don't have anything else going on
like an overload of metabolic waste material and toxins
and you have really
really great resilience and vitality
perfect B2 miracle cure right
because you happen to hit on the specific little
tiny little piece that was required for you
but if you have chronic migraines
I'm telling you it's not a B2 issue
if you have chronic migraines
you have blockers and deficiencies
within all three of the things that your body needs
to maintain its state of health
and return itself to a state of health
and by the time you get to that point
you don't just need B2
by the time you get to that point
you might be struggling just to eat regular food
there's vitamin B2 in the food that you eat
so if you're eating food why aren't you getting the B2
from the food that you're eating okay
do you have enough of an appetite
where you feel like eating enough food
once you eat the food
is your digestion working properly
so that you're actually getting the nutrients
out of the food
are you able to get those nutrients into your blood
and circulate it throughout your body
that's just relative to nutrients
right now we've got two other principles
you have blockers or deficiencies or missing pieces in
so this B2 this is like a drop in the bucket
I'm so tired of hearing about B2
and I mean he didn't mention Co Q10
I can't believe he didn't mention Co Q10
where's the Co Q10 where's the magnesium right
everybody has been doing these things for decades
and chronic migraines has only gotten worse and worse
so let's stop looking for these like
Little Silver bullets and let's start looking at
what is the actual root cause of your migraines
