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.

If you're experiencing 8+ migraine days per month and ready to address the root cause instead of just managing symptoms, schedule a free consultation below:

Episode Transcript

hi everyone
welcome to the Healing Migraines Naturally podcast
I'm your host Doctor Leslie Caesar
and I help women all over the country
rediscover a migraine free life
so welcome to the podcast today
I am really excited to
talk about Vegas nerve stimulators today
so this is becoming a very trending topic
within the migraine world
and so
I put together a little bit of a deep dive
for you on it today and so
I'm really looking forward to covering this with you
and um if you want to ask me any questions about this
you know after you listen
please join my free Facebook group
Healing Migraines naturally with Leslie Caesar
Andy come into the Facebook group
and you can post your questions to me and um
we can get them answered into the group
or might even generate another podcast episode topic
I get a lot of the topics for this podcast from members
commenting and discussing
and asking questions in that free Facebook group
so let's uh jump into Vegas nerve stimulators
okay so again
this is something that is really trending
within the migraine community
there are some companies now that are producing
sort of like handheld uh
vagus nerve stimulator you can call them
like machines
or equipment that you could use at home to stimulate
the vagus nerve
they're being marketed as um
sort of FDA cleared appliances or equipment
for migraines and so when something has FDA clearance
that is not the same as FDA approved okay
but FDA cleared
devices are things where the
FDA has taken a look at it and said okay
you know this isn't gonna like hurt people okay
and it allows the company
to make some degree of claims around it
if not treating
improving or helping certain health conditions
so these are kind of hitting the market
being marketed towards migraine sufferers
and it's becoming a hotter and hotter topic
Vegas nerve stimulators are different than Cephaly okay
so the Cephaly device
to my understanding
has been around a little bit longer
for migraine sufferers
I've had a lot of clients over the years
that have used Cephaly devices
and Cephaly is a trigeminal nerve stimulator
so we're gonna kind of talk about both of these
because both of these
appliances or pieces of equipment
are stimulating cranial nerves
so the vagus nerve and the trigeminal nerve
are what we call cranial nerves okay
and so we're gonna talk about
kind of what that means and
and why that's important
and why both of these appliances
would be working on cranial nerves OK
so
why don't we go over a little bit of the anatomy first
so like what what is the Vegas nerve right
again everybody's like kind of talking about this now
Vegas nerve Vegas nerve
what exactly is this right
hi there I wanna jump in real quick
and tell you about my client Beth
she was getting 15 to 20
migraines and headaches per month
and as you can imagine
this was impacting her work performance
and her confidence she also has two small children
and she was
starting to feel like she was a horrible mom
because she had nothing left for them
at the end of the day but she reached out
and she booked a free consult call with me
and after I asked her about her migraines
and her health history
I felt confident that I could help her
I help women
uncover the root drivers of their migraines
and follow a step by step plan to dramatically reduce
the frequency by up to 90%
without adding more medication
or taking a bunch of supplements
so we built her personal migraine map
followed the plan
and now she will get one to two migraines per year
which she uses ibuprofen to treat if she needs to
verses up to 15 to 20 per month
when we first started working together
that weren't responding well to any medication
she just reached out to tell me that
she got a promotion at work
she's on top of her career again
and has been able to come off
all of her migraine medication
but most importantly she's a confident mom again
and she's attending birthday parties at Jump Zone
with her kids and saying yes
instead of saying maybe later
I've worked with women like Beth
from all over the United States
who were told this is the best we can do
but they were still willing to dig deeper
so
if you are serious about changing your migraine story
go to Doctor Leslie Caesar dot com slash apply
or tap the link in the show notes
and on our free consult
we'll map out why your migraines keep coming back
and the first three steps you can take
over the next 30 days
I do cap new client spots each month
so if the calendar is full
the doors are closed for now
but if you're done feeling helpless
and ready to do the work to heal
pause this episode for 30 seconds
and book that console call now
so the Vegas nerve is a cranial nerve
so that means it's a nerve
that originates within the brain okay
this is in contrast
to nerves that are originating from the spinal cord
okay so like the nerves that make your arms move around
those are nerves that are exiting your spinal cord
and going through the foramen in your vertebrae
and then going down your arm
and innervating all of the muscles in your skin
and everything in your arm
so that you can use your arm
but those are what are called spinal nerves
the cranial nerves are nerves
which are originating in the brain
and the vagus nerve actually exits
the cranium and goes down into the body okay
so the vagus nerve innervates
or you might say powers all of the internal organs
when it comes out of your brain
there's a branch on each side
and so it's going down sort of a
around your carotid artery
it's going down here
and then it's going down into your larynx
so you're like your vocal cords and a nervating nose
making nose work it's continuing down
it's innervating the heart and the lungs
and then they the two branches join
around the esophagus and then it kind of has
a big trunk that covers your esophagus
so it's innervating your esophagus
it's innervating your stomach
your spleen your pancreas
your liver your gallbladder
your kidneys your small intestine
your large intestine
it's a huge nerve that's innervating
or powering all of the internal organs in your body
they sometimes call this like a super highway
because it's not only sort of sending
impulses to the organs
they believe that about 80% of the activity
in the Vegas nerve
is actually the organs
sending input back up into our brain right
so the brain
if you kind of think of that as like the command center
constantly monitoring everything
the brain is receiving signals via the nerves
from the organs
the brain is also receiving signals as to
you know from our arms
you know so we can
we know where our arms are in space right
so we kind of think of nerves as like
sending input from the brain to the organ
or to the arm or whatever
but actually it's a two way communication
along the nerve so
they believe that actually
80% of the information that's traveling
on the Vegas nerve is actually input from the organs
back up into the brain which is quite interesting
and then about 20% is
feedback or input from the brain
back down to those internal organs
the vagus nerve is widely
known as part of the parasympathetic nervous system
so there's two parts to the nervous system
the sympathetic nervous system
and the parasympathetic nervous system
the sympathetic nervous system is what we call the
fighter flight
part of our nervous system
so when
the stereotype of this is
when you're running from the saber tooth tiger
you're in fight or flight mode right
you're in survival mode
that's your sympathetic nervous system
the parasympathetic nervous system
commonly is called the rest and digest
part of your nervous system
so when you're not
you know fighting for your life and trying to survive
you're resting and you're digesting your food
and those internal organs are at work
doing what they're supposed to be doing
and we're not in this survival mode
when the fight or flight response gets kicked off right
we're not fleeing sabertooth tigers anymore right
but you know certainly in modern life
we are exposed to very stressful things
like maybe you get in a little fender Bender
I was in like
a really minor little fender Bender a few years ago
and I mean the adrenaline and the cortisol that I could
just feel coursing through my body after this really
really minor little fender Bender
you can feel the power of this
fight or flight response
when something like that happens to you
you know what we say oh
that meeting at work that was really stressful
you know my heart started pounding and you know
my stomach got a little upset and I got a little
you know little jittery
I got a little keyed up
a lower intensity fight or flight response
that gets kicked off in the result of sort of more
what we might think of modern type stress
right
so that's our fighter flight response
our sympathetic nervous system response in contrast
this rest and digest mode if we're relaxed
so one thing that I will say
when we go into that fighter flight mode
the adrenaline and cortisol
the two main hormones that are mediating
or generating that fight or flight response
that sympathetic nervous system response
those two hormones will actually suppress
our digestive function okay
so if we're kind of fighting for our life
our body wants to keep us you know
the the top priority is keeping us alive
for the next 15 minutes
it's not digesting our food okay
so when that stress response gets kicked off
that fighter flight response gets kicked off
it actually suppresses our digestive function
it kind of shuts down the digestive tract
because that's not our top priority
our top priority is making it through this crisis right
versus when that passes
and then the parasympathetic nervous system
becomes more dominant and the vagus
nerve is a big part of that parasympathetic
nervous system
then we move into what they call rest and digest right
so now I'm resting and now I can break my food down
now I can digest and the vagus nerve right
is the nerve
that's innervating our entire digestive tract
as well as those
those other organs like our heart and our lungs
so in order for
you know your internal organs to function properly
they're gonna have to have
you're gonna have to have proper
back and forth communication right
a lot of times when we're thinking about nerve input
we're thinking about you know
how does an organ function
we're thinking oh
the brain is sending a signal down to the organ
and that's it
but there's actually two way communication
the stomach is sending input up to the brain
and then the brain is saying okay
well based on what the stomach is telling me
how am I gonna respond
what signals am I gonna respond back
so that's sort of the anatomy here of the Vegas nerve
I hope that this short
little lesson gives you the picture
that this is a critical critical nerve
so if someone uses a Vegas nerve stimulator
which the ones for home use are kind of like a little
little box
and then there's two sort of like metal electrodes
that you would apply to your neck
because that vagus nerve is coming right down here
by the carotid artery
so you would apply that to the neck
turn it on and it's going to send some electrical input
to the nerve you're not gonna feel it
but it's gonna send that input into the nerve
so what is this doing
it's adding electricity
it's adding voltage it's adding vitality to the nerve
now if you've been listening to the podcast
this is hopefully going to
set off some light bulbs for you right
so there are
three things that our body needs to function properly
every cell in the body
needs these three things to function properly
and one of them is cellular energy or cellular voltage
or what I call cellular vitality okay
and so a vagus nerve stimulator is adding energy
adding vitality to the nerve
we think of nerves as sending electrical impulses right
that's kind of how we think about what nerves are doing
they're sending these electrical pulses
but every cell in the body
has to have adequate cellular energy
or voltage
every cell in the body has a measurable voltage
and so this is a critical component right
like if you only have 50% of the electricity
traveling down the wire to your lamp
and you turn the lamp on
the bulb is not going to be as bright
as if you had 100%
of the electricity flowing to the lamp right
so our cells if the voltage diminishes
and they have actually measured this
they have been able to measure
the millivolts within our cells
and they have seen that it fluctuates
depending on what you might call
the health of the cell okay
there's a dramatic difference in the voltage
of a healthy cell
versus a cancer cell okay
and cells just don't go from healthy to cancer
overnight there's a period of time where the
if you will the health of the cell starts to decline
and they can see the voltage decline
as the health of the cell declines
so
we have to have enough cellular energy
or voltage or vitality for things to function properly
and so with a adding energy to that particular nerve
when you're using a Cephe device
you're putting that on your forehead
and it's adding energy to the trigeminal nerve
which is another cranial nerve that again
originates in the brain and innervates the face okay
so obviously with migraines
a lot of people have a lot of facial pain
jaw pain etcetera with a migraine
and so
the cephali is adding energy to the trigeminal nerve
when that energy is added to the nerve
they believe this is the the theory behind how it works
they believe
that most of that energy is actually traveling up
into the brain
okay because remember
these nerves are a two way communication highway
and so when they're applying
you know the appliance to the area
and they're adding additional voltage
a lot of that voltage
is actually traveling up through the nerve
into the brain
and they believe that it's helping the brain
sort of keep things better regulated
we have to imagine that some of that additional voltage
that's being added is also going down the nerve
and
improving the nerve signaling to those organs
so
so what we're doing with a vagus nerve stimulator
or with a sepheli device
is we are working within that third
principle that I talk about
so just a recap for you if you're new here
the three things that your body needs
to function properly
and when your body is functioning properly
you don't have symptoms like migraines okay
so there are three things that our body needs
and I call these the three principles
the first principle is
we have to get the nutrients that our cells need
to our cells
the second principle is
we have to clear metabolic waste
material
and other toxins from the cells and from the body
and then No. 3
we have to restore our resilience and vitality
including our cellular vitality
or cellular voltage or cellular energy
as well as the overall vitality of the entire
human body okay
the whole system
so like I say this is a therapy
that's working within that third principle
because we're adding lacking voltage to the nerve
this may help people
if adding voltage to this specific nerve
meets a need within the body
so when I work with my clients
the first thing that we do is
we identify exactly what's deficient
or missing
or blocked within these three principles for them
specifically
but when you go online and you're going
you know you're thinking about purchasing a vagus
nerve stimulator
that type of assessment is not being done right
it's just sort of like well
let me add to cart
and I'll get this and I'll see what happens right
so
this therapy could be helpful for people
if they're lacking that vitality
within that particular nerve
but then how would you know ahead of time
this is the problem
and so because people don't know ahead of time
if it's gonna be helpful for them or not
and this is where sort of that hit or miss
what my conversation partner on the podcast
and Facebook group moderator
Mary calls spaghetti on the wall
uh recommendations right
so you're kind of just well
let me let me see if this works right
because really
there's no way of knowing ahead of time at this point
and even my experience
working with various clients that have used these
you know devices
I can't tell you ahead of time either
I don't have that level of assessment ability yet
I'm always working on honing things
but I can't tell you ahead of time either right now
if this is going to be kind of
that missing piece for you or not okay
the therapies that I recommend
within that third principle
don't include these things
if people wanna use them if they wanna give them a try
that's great it's not gonna interfere with anything
that I recommend with my clients
but it's not something that I'm recommending
specifically for my clients
because I'm adding energy and voltage
and using different types of therapeutics
and different types of techniques
but again if this is something that people wanna try
that's great this is why it works for some people okay
it's working within that third principle
of adding voltage or vitality to this specific nerve
okay
now
let's
let's talk about some of the larger connections here
okay so um
the first principle
the first thing that our body needs
in order to function well
are nutrients okay
every cell in the body requires nutrients
in order to do its work its cellular processes okay
we don't run on Starbucks Frappuccinos and unicorn dust
okay we run on nutrients
so
some nutrients we make ourselves
other nutrients we have to consume from our food okay
we should be getting our nutrients from our food
and not from nutrient capsules and things like that
so we should be eating food with nutrients in it
and then we have to digest our food adequately
and extract the nutrients from the food
and then
we have to absorb the nutrients into the bloodstream
and we have to circulate the nutrients to the cells now
let's think again about the Vegas nerve
powering our digestive track
powering our heart
which is pumping the blood that the nutrients are in
are you starting to see some really
interesting connections here
so if there is lowered vitality
within our digestive track
if our digestive track starts to falter
if our stomach can't make enough hydrochloric acid
if our pancreas is struggling to make digestive enzymes
if the motility within the digestive tract right
our digestive tract is lined by muscle
which moves the food
and smashes the food and everything
if that motility is lacking
we're not going to break our food down properly
and we're not going to get the nutrients
out of the food very well
when your stomach makes hydrochloric acid
it's also gonna make waste materials
metabolic byproducts
those have to be removed from the cell
it takes cellular energy to make the hydrochloric acid
right these three principles are at play
in every cell of your body
including all of the cells of your Vegas nerve hahaha
hi there
I wanna jump in real quick and tell you about my client
Beth she was getting 15 to 20 migraines
and headaches per month and as you can imagine
this was impacting her work performance
and her confidence she also has two small children
and she was
starting to feel like she was a horrible mom

I help women uncover
the root drivers of their migraines
and follow a step by step plan to dramatically reduce
the frequency by up to 90%
without adding more medication
or taking a bunch of supplements
so we built her personal migraine map
followed the plan
and now she will get one to two migraines per year
which she uses ibuprofen to treat if she needs to
verses up to 15 to 20 per month
when we first started working together
that weren't responding well to any medication
she just reached out to tell me that
she got a promotion at work

and has been able to come off all of her migraine

she's a confident mom again
and she's attending birthday parties at Jump Zone

I've worked with women like Beth
from all over the United States
who were told this is the best we can do
but they were still willing to dig deeper
so if you're serious about changing your migraine story
go to Doctor Leslie Caesar dot com slash apply
or tap the link in the show notes
and on our free consult
we'll map out why your migraines keep coming back
and the first three
steps you can take over the next 30 days
I do cap new client spots each month
so if the calendar is full
the doors are closed for now
but if you're done feeling helpless
and ready to do the work to heal
pause this episode for 30 seconds
and book that console call now
so your Vegas
nerve has to have the nutrients that it needs
to make the neurotransmitters
for it to fire it has to clear out waste material
once it makes neurotransmitters
there has to be
enough cellular energy for it to function
if your digestive tract starts to struggle right
so if your stomach
is struggling to make hydrochloric acid properly
there's going to be signals traveling back up
via the Vegas nerve to your brain
your brain is gonna say well jeez
if she can't make enough hydrochloric acid
what adjustments should I make
and it's gonna send those signals down this is a very
very complex interplay okay
our brain is a lot smarter than we are okay
all of this is functioning without
our ability to be aware of it consciously
we have a tremendous amount of medical knowledge
but we have a
let's say you were to go on
like the Mayo Clinic website
I'm sure many of you have used Doctor
Google and found yourself on the Mayo Clinic website
looking at different health conditions
they talk about vagal nerve stimulation
how do you know if you have a vagal
nerve problem
so certainly people might be in an accident
they might have you know have been injured
and there's been some damage to the nerve
that's obviously going to cause some problems
if you have a nerve that's damaged
people can get infections
that cause some damage with nerves
generally speaking
these things are gonna be pretty rare but over time
right as the
deficiencies within these three principles start to
stack up
they're going to affect your Vegas nerve
and they're going to affect every cell in your body
but when you go on say
the Mayo Clinic website and they say
well what
what are the symptoms that you have a Vegas nerve
problem
your Vegas nerve isn't functioning optimally
what are the symptoms of that
well
digestive problems are a symptom
how many Americans have digestive symptoms
okay uh
throw a stone and you're gonna hit an American
that's experiencing digestive symptoms
I mean
over the counter medications
to alleviate various digestive symptoms are
some of the biggest
most widely consumed widely sold biggest money makers
uh for drugs out there
so it's a little bit of a chicken in the egg right
so what started the Vegas nerve problem
was it something in the Vegas nerve
or did my digestion start to decline
which limited
my ability to get the nutrients out of my food
which further limited the nutrients status within
you know the so you know my Vegas nerve right
I mean
is your digestive tract not functioning well
cause of your Vegas nerve
or is your Vegas nerve not functioning well
because of your poor digestive function
this is something that is not talked about at
on the Mayo Clinic website
this is a two way communication
okay it's not just a
you know top down
it's a back and forth communication
the organs of your digestive tract start sending
you know
9 1 1 signals right
we're struggling here we're having a hard time
that is going to be communicated via the Vegas nerve
I think that if you were
looking at a Vegas nerve stimulator
and you're a migraine sufferer
and you go on that you know
Mayo Clinic website and it says oh
how do you know if you have a problem
well you got digestive symptoms
well
most people the overwhelming majority
you know 99 out of 100 migraine suffers
are going to have digestive symptoms
and some impairment in their digestive function
because when that happens
we start to develop
the inability to get the nutrients that our cells need
to our cells and that is what starts to
kick off problems that ultimately lead to migraines
so if you're adding energy
adding voltage to the Vegas nerve
you're only hitting one of these three principles
and so what about the nutrients that your Vegas nerve
all the other cells in your body
need to function properly
what about the accumulated waste materials
metabolic byproducts
and other toxins that are now in the cell
because the cell tried to do its work
that we've got to get out of the cell
and out of the body right
so it's not just one of these three principles
when we're not feeling well
especially with something that's as severe as migraines
we have blockers and deficiencies
or missing pieces within all three of these principles
I guarantee you
I haven't had a client
that has not had deficiencies
or missing pieces within all three of these principles
migraines are a very complicated
neurological phenomenon
and they don't just come out of the blue
I know that it feels that way to us
when I started getting migraines
I thought they came out of the blue too
where did these come from
how did this happen
I was so healthy until this happened
but now that I know what I know
my health had started to decline in my teenage years
but no one was able to identify that
because we don't
think about symptoms as early warning signs
we think of them as just well
you know
your father has allergies
so you have allergies right
of course you do it's genetic right
nobody's really understanding
how to put these early warning symptoms together
that are occurring before the migraines hit
so if you're experiencing an early warning symptom
this is where that symptom
you know
we might just need to do a little tidy up in one
or maybe two of these principles
we don't need to go whole all
you know full bore
if you have one of these more
less severe sort of early warning symptoms
but by the time you get migraines
unfortunately
you've already had all of these early warning symptoms
piling up
probably for five to 10 years
before the migraine started
you weren't aware of it unfortunately
none of your doctors were aware of it
but then one day boom right
where did these headaches and migraines come from
it seems to us like they came from out of the blue
so you know
our mind is always looking for
what's the one thing I need to do
to solve this problem right
and I've done a podcast on this phenomenon
our mind is sort of wired
or designed to look for
things that it can take action on right
our mind is constantly trying to keep us out of pain
and
get us doing something
where we're gonna be feeling better
and we're not gonna be experiencing pain
so the mind is designed to look for okay
what's the solution to this problem
what's the solution for this pain
but our mind is not going to figure out a real complex
thing it's looking for like one thing it can do
what's the one thing I need to do
there's gotta be one thing that I'm missing
there's gotta be one thing that's gonna crack this case
and that is gonna solve this problem
and so these types of interventions
like a vagus nerve stimulator or a sepheli device
they kind of check that box right
oh
my Vegas nerve needs to be stimulated
let me do
let me this is the one thing that I that I could do
right but by the time we have migraines
it's never going to be just
sort of one box that needs to be checked
it's a complex symptom phenomenon right
that's why we have so many symptoms with a migraine
right many times we don't even
you know the
like the yawning that kicks off before the migraine
it can take people years to realize oh
that yawning that's a that's part of my migraine right
I you know I never knew why I kept yawning oh
that's actually a migraine symptom right
that's how complex and uh
varied the migraine symptom expression is
you're not gonna have just sort of like
this simple solution check the box and you're done
but our mind is always looking for those things
and so this is why we have some of these like
trending topics that occur every few years
and usually they're tied to
um like a specialty lab company
coming up with sort of new laboratory technology
where they can test something
that they couldn't test before
and so then they wanna sell that test
and so it's like a new little kind of fad pops up like
oh now I need this test
cause this is this is the one thing right
if I get this test this is the one thing
that's gonna give me all the answers
or these device companies right
they kind of like a new devices created and cleared
and then it's like oh okay
this is the one thing that I need but again
if there's lowered vitality in your Vegas nerve
there's gonna be lowered vitality
in all of the cells of your body okay
I've talked about this with things like
you know nutrient deficiencies
I mean if I hear one more
you know advertisement for magnesium right
if you're magnesium deficient
you're going to be deficient in other nutrients too
we can't be just looking for these little one off
check the box solutions
even though that's what our mind is always focusing on
so in short just kind of summarizing here
I think the Vegas nerve you know stimulators
they're not gonna hurt you
they are a therapy that's adding energy to the system
I think some people will
find some relief if they do that
because again
it's one of the core components to what our body needs
it needs adequate voltage or energy or vitality
but I think that we have to go a little bit deeper
why did my Vegas nerve need more vitality right
why wasn't my Vegas nerve
functioning properly in the first place
and again there's two other pieces to the puzzle
that these devices are not going to provide right
I hope that this gives you some aha moments
especially if you've been listening to the podcast
for a while
and you've been hearing me talk about these
three principles hopefully
this kind of gives you a little aha moment of how this
you know
these devices fit into the overall picture and again
you know
if you've been listening to the podcast for a while
and you've been hearing me talk about
these three principles
you can start to do this sort of
evaluation on your own as you're
you know cause I know everybody now is you know
researching things and so on you know
Doctor Google
apply these three principles
to the information that you're looking at
on online as you're doing your research
and start to think about hmm okay
well
how would this fit in to these three principles okay
but then you know
the other thing that we don't ask enough is
how did we get here in the first place
so this is where
when we're doing that deeper level of analysis and
you know sort of root cause intervention
we're stepping out of just
applying these little band aids
to the problem right'cause ultimately
the biggest nerve stimulator
is really just sort of like a
a band aid on the problem you know
it's it's great when you have a cut
it's great to have a Band Aid right
but we don't want to have to
be applying Band Aids all the time right
so very good I hope you um

hi there I want to jump in real quick
and tell you about my client Beth
she was getting 15 to 20 migraines and headaches
per month and as you can imagine
this was impacting her work performance
and her confidence she also has two small children
and she was
starting to feel like she was a horrible mom
because she had nothing left for them
at the end of the day but she reached out
and she booked a free consult call with me
and after I asked her about her migraines
and her health history
I felt confident that I could help her
I help women uncover
the root drivers of their migraines
and follow a step by step plan to dramatically reduce
the frequency by up to 90%
without adding more medication
or taking a bunch of supplements
so we built her personal migraine map
followed the plan
and now she will get one to two migraines per year
which she uses ibuprofen to treat if she needs to
verses up to 15 to 20 per month
when we first started working together
that weren't responding well to any medication
she just reached out to tell me that
she got a promotion at work
she's on top of her career again
and has been able to come off all of her migraine
medication but most importantly
she's a confident mom again
and she's attending birthday parties at Jump Zone
with her kids and saying yes
instead of saying maybe later
I've worked with women like Beth
from all over the United States
who were told this is the best we can do
but they were still willing to dig deeper
