We're so grateful to have fellow Registered Dietitian, Kelli Yates, on the podcast today. Kelli specializes in the intricate worlds of migraine and gut health, and we dive deep into why these topics are so closely intertwined with our hormone health.

If you’ve ever struggled with migraine, felt overwhelmed by endless trigger lists, or been told to "just manage your stress," this conversation is a breath of fresh air. Kelli brings a compassionate, resilient-focused approach to a condition that is so much more than just a bad headache.

Episode Highlights:

The critical difference between a migraine and a common headache.
Why focusing on your body's resilience is more important than chasing individual triggers.
How to use blood sugar balance as a powerful tool to prevent attacks.
The undeniable link between your gut health and migraine frequency.
The truth about hormonal migraines and how to navigate your cycle.
How to use medication effectively without compromising your gut.
Practical ways to manage stress and calm your nervous system to raise your migraine threshold.
Why most online food trigger lists are misleading and what to focus on instead.
The two most common nutrient deficiencies that worsen migraines.
The "bucket analogy" that finally explains why your triggers seem to change day-to-day.

And many more!
