The Powerful Connection Between Migraines and ADHD

Migraines and ADHD are something I hear about a lot in my ADHD female community. I also relate to this from a personal perspective with one of my ADHD daughters suffering from migraines, as well as quite a few friends. Migraines can be a lifelong debilitating condition alongside the many other symptoms that come with them. Today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode explores the very powerful connection between migraines and neurodivergence in women with my guest, Diane Ducarme, the contemporary master of migraine investigation. Her unique approach combines the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting-edge technology to unearth the intricate root causes of migraines weaving on top of genetics. Diane’s relentless inquisitive mind for highly complex problems is what allows her to deliver life-transforming results, which is the fuel to her energy.What sets Diane apart is her emphasis on the power of functional foods. Unlike conventional approaches focusing on eliminating foods, Diane adds new elements to the equation. Her dedication to unravelling the mysteries of migraines has inspired a podcast, "Migraine Heroes," and her company, Nectar Health, is at the forefront of this remarkable journey towards migraine relief and wellness.On this episode, Kate and Diane speak about:A digestive superfood that could help your migrainesThe vagus nerve and the connection to migrainesWhy migraines could be related to your ADHD How your digestive system can hold the keys to health The connection between your brain function and your food The profound wisdom of Chinese traditional medicineHow Hormonal shifts affect your gut and brainHaving period cycles that can actually feel goodThe effects of endometriosis on the digestive system What chinese traditional medicine can teach you about ADHDFind out more about Diane and her work on her website www.mynectarhealth.comKate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereFind Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine hereMentioned in this episode:20% off Kate's content for Neurodivergent celebration week Use the code NDWEEK20 ND Week 20
