What's Causing Your Migranes? With Erin Knight

Erin Knight is a migraine & headache specialist. She helps people suffering from migraines determine what is holding them back and plan concrete steps to break through to feeling great.

From the time she was a little kid, Erin had a desire to help people. At one time during a family vacation is Spain, her mum was stuck in the hotel room for 3 days because of migraines and Erin felt frustrated because she couldn't do anything to help her. In high school she had migraines 4-5 times per week. She was inspired by her grandfather and was fascinated on how we could impact our bodies with chemistry. After high school she went into pharmaceutical engineering.

At 27 Erin’s body started to break down! Other than the migraines, she started having auto-immune issues, chronic fatigue, chronic pain and digestive issues. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life feeling like that! Soon she discovered functional medicine which aligned so well with her as an engineer because it addresses the root causes of body issues. She dived into it and soon her migraines went away, her energy was back, she was no-longer sensitive to things like bright lights, thunderstorms and just loved this new sense of freedom she felt.

Wanting to help others, Erin went ahead and put together a 4 step plan called “The Migraine Freedom Plan”.

“About 1 to 7 people globally suffer from migraines, and 3/4 of those are women.”

— Erin Knight

Migraines: How to Get Rid of Them! with Dr. Alexis Shields

Migraines headaches have to be one of the worst experiences many women endure.  They can make you cancel important meetings, load up on potent pharmaceuticals, and miss out on life.

Luckily we have today as a guest Dr. Alexis Shields, who throws it down about where migraines come from, how to treat them, and also what we still don't know about them.

She explains that there is a dys-regulation of the electrical system of the brain that precipitates a migraine.  (Did you know that the vascular theory has been disproven??)

Dr. Shields talks about certain foods and food additives that are triggers. (Did you know that left-overs are more apt to cause a migraine??)

She also talks about the underlying factors, such as hormone imbalance, misalignment and more.  (Did you know oversleeping can be a problem??)

She gives specific apps, book and sites she likes, and I'll share a few of those below:

App:  Headspace

Site: Yoga Glo

Book:  It Starts with Food
