I received a DM recently asking if the keto diet is ACTUALLY good for migraine, since our brains need carbs to function right?

Tune in to this week’s episode of Migraine Relief Hotline to hear my unbiased take on this question!

This episode of part of a three part series I’m doing about diets - keto, low carb, and paleo - for migraine.

If there’s another diet you want me to cover on the podcast, let me know in the comments and I’ll do another series like this!

You can listen to Migraine Relief Hotline wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the full video on my YouTube channel (linked in my profile).

I tried SO MANY DIETS that were supposed to “fix” my migraine and GI issues.

Paleo.
Keto.
Modified Keto.
Elimination Diets (so many 😭).
Gluten-free.
Sugar-free.
Whole 30.

Some of them did help my migraine or my gut … temporarily. But the rules and restrictions affected my mental health terribly and triggered some pretty significant disordered eating issues.

I felt so discouraged because everything I saw online said that a DIET was necessary to control migraine attacks (even though there didn’t seem to be a consensus around which diet that should be …).

But you know what actually ended up working for me in the end?

Saying “screw it” to the diets. They weren’t good for me, and I came to find that they weren’t good for a LOT of other people with migraine too.

So instead of following a diet, I:

💜Ate to support my blood sugar
💜Chose foods that contained the vitamins / minerals migraine brains need
💜 Paid attention to when foods CLEARLY, REPEATEDLY made me feel bad, and reduced them instead of eliminating them
💜 Got to the bottom of my GI issues (hi h pylori, dysbiosis, digestive dysfunction)
💜 Accepted that I need more recovery time and breaks to feel my best
💜 Reduced my supplements from 10+ a day to just a few essentials
💜 Learned that migraine is a whole-body condition and started treating it that way

I did what worked for me, instead of trying to force what was SUPPOSED to work for everyone else.

All that to say - if the rigidity makes you miserable, if the tracking feels like too much, if the diets don’t even seem to work that well for you … there are so many other ways to manage migraine!

Skipping meals is a big migraine trigger for most of us, but nausea / low appetite / migraine itself can sometimes make it hard to eat!

Some of my fav tips:

Eat SOMETHING. Whatever sounds good - if that’s a bowl of ice cream, do it!

Use a meal replacement shake like OWYN if chewing something sounds gross - just don’t rely on these for most of your meals.

Suppress nausea with ginger, mint, or something like “Not Now Nausea” spray.

Try stimulating your vagus nerve through humming or singing - this can reduce nausea, especially if it’s partly due to anxiety or migraine

Add a flavorless protein powder like collagen to an electrolyte drink to sneak in some extra calories and nutrition (if it’s sugar-free, add a splash of fruit juice too!)

Also - there may be a reason for that nausea or low appetite other than “it’s just part of migraine”! Things like medication side effects, gastroparesis, thyroid issues, MCAS, and even deficiencies can cause nausea or low appetite, so it’s important to do some digging if this is a long-term problem for you!

Why do migraine attacks make you SO TIRED, even after the attack is over?

I had to remind myself of the answer to this exact question earlier this week, and I wanted to share with you too because I knew you would be able to relate.

The reality is - a migraine attack is an energetically demanding event for your body.

There’s altered neural activity. Pain (or dizziness, or both). Changes in stress hormones and other signaling systems. And once the attack itself is winding down, your brain and body still have to recover and return to homeostasis.

That ALL TAKES ENERGY.

Which is why after a migraine attack, it can be completely normal to:
* feel exhausted
* have basically no energy
* feel emotionally drained
* need actual recovery time

And look, I realize that information doesn’t make it any easier to experience this in real time.

You might still have work to do. Kids to take care of. Dinner to make. Plans you were hoping you could finally get back to.

But I do think understanding what’s happening can make it a little easier to stop treating your exhaustion like a personal failure.

This is actually a big part of the work we do inside Raise Your Threshold - learning what’s happening in your body, how to support it, and how to keep life moving without sacrificing your health.

So. If you’ve ever reached the end of an attack and immediately expected yourself to bounce back to 100% ... remind yourself that there is a very real, very physical reason why that’s hard to do.

You’re not being dramatic, or overly sensitive.

You’re in recovery. And it’s okay to need some rest 💜

If your migraine attacks are getting worse as you approach menopause, it’s not just you!

Here’s what’s happening:

During perimenopause, your hormones fluctuate wildly - and it’s the FLUCTUATION that affects your threshold, not just low estrogen.

Estrogen impacts serotonin, which affects pain processing and migraine susceptibility. When estrogen drops suddenly (which happens frequently in perimenopause), your threshold drops with it.

This is why attacks often cluster around your cycle - or why they might be happening more unpredictably now.

And while those hormone fluctuations are normal in perimenopause, you CAN support your threshold through them:

✅ Stable blood sugar becomes even MORE critical
✅ Nervous system support is essential
✅ Gut health can buffer some of the hormonal impact
✅ Consistent sleep and stress management matter more than ever

Basically: you need to keep the rest of your bucket as empty as possible so the hormone fluctuations don’t constantly tip you over.

Some people also benefit from working with their doctor on HRT.

Perimenopause + migraine is tough. But it’s manageable when you understand what’s happening and address your threshold holistically!!

This is exactly what we work on in Raise Your Threshold - supporting you through hormonal shifts without feeling helpless. Dm me or click the link in bio if you want more info!

Save this for your next doctor’s visit!

If you have an amazing doctor like mine, try asking for a few additional labs at your next annual appointment.

You’d be surprised how often something as simple as a deficiency can make your migraine hell to manage!

Plus some of these labs (like CRP and A1C) can point to more widespread imbalances that, when addressed thoughtfully, can help you see long term improvements with migraine AND your health overall.

Curious about any of these labs and how they connect with migraine? Leave a comment below and I’ll incorporate It into future content!

If this list feels a little too familiar… you’re not alone! 🤪

A low migraine threshold means your brain is extra sensitive to triggers, stress, and basically existing.

The good news? You can actually raise your threshold so you’re not stuck feeling like you’re one wrong move away from an attack!

Ways to start raising your threshold:
✔️ Keep blood sugar steady (protein + carbs at meals/snacks)
✔️ Prioritize sleep & hydration
✔️ Calm your hyperactive nervous system
✔️ Support your gut & hormones

Inside Raise Your Threshold (RYT), we focus on all of this without elimination diets or unnecessary restrictions - just science-backed strategies that help you feel more in control! 💜
