Think you have chronic sinus issues alongside your migraines? You might have been misdiagnosed.

In this episode, I break down why up to 90% of "sinus headaches" are actually migraines, why nasal swab tests often show bacteria even when there's no infection, how the trigeminal nerve creates sinus-like symptoms, and why antibiotics seem to work (spoiler: it's just time passing).

Plus, I share the real solution: addressing the inflammatory network dysfunction driving both your migraines and your "sinus problems."
