Why Migraines Get Worse in Your 40s-The Real Explanation

You did everything right. You slept. You avoided the triggers. You were not even stressed. And you still woke up with a migraine. This week in part two of our Migraine Awareness Month series, we are talking about why that keeps happening, and why for so many women it gets significantly worse in their 40s. The answer is not bad luck. It is biology. And it has never been explained to you. In this episode you will learn  how the Inflammation Overload Loop works and why your nervous system stops waiting for a big trigger,  why estrogen is neuroprotective and what happens to your amygdala's reactivity when it starts to fluctuate in perimenopause  why the gap between the life you are living and the life you want keeps widening the longer this goes unaddressed what happened when Jenny finally got someone to look at the root drivers instead of the trigger list. If last week's episode made you think that makes sense, this week is going to make you think that is exactly what is happening to me. If you have not listened to episode one yet, go back and start there. This series builds on itself and it will land harder if you hear it in order. Before next week's episode, take the free Migraine Sensitivity Scorecard in the show notes. It will show you where your own loop is breaking down and it will make everything in episode three click into place.
