Could be making your migraines worse? 🤔🫠

Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can trigger and worsen all sorts of migraine conditions. And some of these migraines may be misdiagnosed because they don’t always present like a typical migraine does. Here’s what each one can look like…

☑️ Ocular migraines: Temporary vision changes like shimmering spots, blind spots, or a “curtain” over one eye, sometimes with little or no headache.
☑️ Vestibular migraines: Vertigo, dizziness, feeling off balance, and motion sensitivity, with or without head pain.
☑️ Silent migraines: All the symptoms of a migraine, like aura, nausea, fatigue, and sensory sensitivity, but no headache at all.
☑️ Ice pick headaches: Sudden, stabbing jolts of pain lasting a few seconds, usually in the temples or around the eyes.
☑️ Abdominal migraines: Stomach pain, nausea, and sometimes vomiting, with little to no head pain.
☑️ Migraine with aura: Head pain preceded by visual changes like zigzag lines, flashing lights, or blind spots, sometimes with tingling or trouble speaking.
☑️ Migraine without aura: Moderate to severe throbbing pain with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, but no warning signs beforehand.
☑️ Hormonal migraines: Throbbing, often one-sided head pain that tends to show up around ovulation or right before your period, when estrogen dips or swings.

If you’re experiencing new or worsening migraine symptoms of any kind, your hormones may be playing a role. 🫠 But because new neurological symptoms can have other causes, it’s always worth getting evaluated, especially if they come on suddenly or feel severe. 🫶🏻

Here are 5 MORE hacks you can find on Amazon for under $10!! These are all Kaylyn approved, and I use every single one of these on a regular basis. 🙃👏🏼

👉🏻 If you’re anxious or have elevated cortisol, you gotta try L-theanine. ☑️ Why it works: L-theanine promotes calm, focused alpha brain waves and supports GABA, your brain’s main calming neurotransmitter.

👉🏻 If you struggle with nausea, you gotta try a Moxē nausea stick. ☑️ Why it works: It’s an aromatherapy nasal stick, and scent signals travel straight to the part of your brain that influences nausea, which is why it works so fast. Moxē also makes sticks for migraines and anxiety relief.

👉🏻 If you have muscle tension, sleep trouble, or digestive issues, you gotta try magnesium spray. ☑️ Why it works: Magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the nervous system. Spray it on your feet for sleep, your stomach for digestion, or anywhere you feel tight.

👉🏻 If you deal with vertigo or motion sickness, you gotta try MQ motion patches. ☑️ Why it works: These patches are made to help with nausea and dizziness from motion. Sleeping with one on can help with morning vertigo sensations.

👉🏻 If you get migraines, hot flashes, or night sweats, you gotta try BeKool cooling patches. ☑️ Why it works: Cooling the skin helps take the edge off migraine pain and heat surges. They last for hours, so you can even wear one on the back of your neck while you sleep.

These hacks can be incredibly helpful for symptom relief, but if you’re relying on them just to get through the day, it may be time to take a look at your hormones and identify the underlying root cause! 🤌🏻

Here are 5 hacks you can find for under $10 on Amazon!! And don’t let the price fool you, these hacks are Kaylyn approved! 🙃

👉🏻 If you have itchy ears, you gotta try Flonase on a q-tip.
☑️ Why it works: Itchy ears are often a histamine response, and Flonase calms the inflammation. Apply it gently to the outer ear canal only, and don’t go deep.

👉🏻 If you struggle with dry mouth, you gotta try Xylimelts.
☑️ Why it works: Estrogen decline can reduce saliva production. These slow-dissolving discs stick to your gum or cheek and keep your mouth moist for hours.

👉🏻 If you’re dealing with burning mouth or other weird mouth issues, you gotta try David’s Hydroxi toothpaste.

☑️ Why it works: Declining estrogen can make your mouth more acidic, which contributes to burning, sensitivity, and enamel damage. Nano-hydroxyapatite helps remineralize your enamel and is gentler on a sensitive mouth.

👉🏻 If you get migraines, you gotta try a migraine cap.
☑️ Why it works: It’s a wearable cold compress for your whole head. Cold helps constrict blood vessels and numb pain, which can take the edge off a migraine.

👉🏻 If you’re dealing with facial swelling, puffiness, congestion, migraines, or hot flashes, you gotta try an ice roller for your face.
☑️ Why it works: Cold constricts blood vessels, which helps reduce swelling and puffiness and cools you down fast.

These hacks can be incredibly helpful for symptom relief, but if you’re relying on them just to get through the day, it may be time to explore solutions to help address the root cause! 🤌🏻

Why are so many women with low T told that their levels are totally normal even though they feel 💩?

Let’s break it down!

The “normal” range for free T in women technically starts at zero. Which means your levels could be almost 0 and your doctor would still tell you that this is perfectly normal. 😑

This is extremely frustrating because we know that test.osterone is one of the very first hormones to decline during perimenopause, yet it’s consistently the most overlooked.

When your levels start dropping, you may notice…
☑️ Chronic fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix
☑️ Brain fog & poor concentration
☑️ Low motivation or “flatness”
☑️ Difficulty building muscle despite training
☑️ Joint pain & increased inflammation
☑️ Low libido / difficulty climaxing
☑️ Mood swings & low stress resilience
☑️ Weight gain, especially around the belly
☑️ Loss of confidence or feeling “disconnected” from yourself

In our experience, most women start feeling like themselves again once free T is at least 3 pg/mL… although the optimal number is different for everyone. But this is why working with a hormone specialist is so important. 🤌🏻

If you feel comfortable sharing, drop your free T level in the comments 👀 I’d love to know where everyone’s at.

If you’ve ever been told “your labs look normal” while feeling anything but normal… this one is for you. 🫶🏻 (Swipe to the end for the spoiler. 🥹)

My situation is rare, but my experience is not. I was dismissed, brushed off, and handed one solution/medication after another while my labs kept coming back “normal.” But I knew deep down that something wasn’t right, so I kept pushing for more testing.

Proper testing finally revealed that a brain tumor had thrown my body into menopause at 25, and the stress of going through perimenopause and menopause without any kind of hormone support ultimately led to me developing MCAS.

I hear this story from women every single day. They’re told it’s anxiety, that they need to exercise more, or that there’s nothing else to be done, when the real problem is that no one ran the right labs or knew how to interpret them in the context of their symptoms.

Working with a provider who knows which labs to run and how to read those labs alongside what you’re actually feeling can literally change your life. It can give you the answers you’ve been searching for. 🙏🏼

You know your body better than anyone else, so trust what it’s telling you and don’t stop advocating for yourself until you get the answers you deserve. Normal on paper doesn’t necessarily mean normal for YOU!!! ❤️

Have you ever felt like you just can’t take a deep enough breath? No matter how hard you try, every breath feels unsatisfying, like you aren’t taking in enough air? 🫠

It’s called oxygen hunger, and it’s incredibly common during and menopause. It’s also one of the most unsettling symptoms, because it so often gets brushed off as “just anxiety.”

What it can feel like…
☑️ Unsatisfying breaths, no matter how deep ☑️ Frequent sighing or yawning ☑️ Chest tightness or pressure ☑️ Breathlessness while sitting still

So why does this happen? 🤔

Estrogen and progesterone help keep your autonomic nervous system balanced. This is the system that controls your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. When these hormones fluctuate and decline, your nervous system can swing into fight or flight, and your brain becomes hypersensitive to breathing signals. That’s why it feels like you aren’t getting enough air even when your oxygen levels are normal.

Histamine can play a role too. Estrogen stimulates histamine release, and as progesterone (your natural anti-histamine buffer) declines, histamine can spike and add to airway tightness and chest pressure.

If it’s brand new or comes with chest pain or fainting, get it checked to rule out heart, lung, or thyroid causes. If everything looks normal and you’re still struggling, your hormones may be the missing piece. ❤️

Love it or leave it histamine intolerance edition, specifically nasal sprays! 🤧👇🏻

❌ Afrin: I would avoid this at all costs. Afrin can cause horrible rebound rhinitis, and there are other nasal spray options that work just as well, if not better.

✅ Azelastine: This is an antihistamine nasal spray. Think of it like Zyrtec but in nasal spray form. This is great for the tingling/burning, runny nose, and sneezing.

✅ Flonase: This one is great for quick sinus relief, especially sinus pressure, congestion, and post nasal drip. This can be used daily!

❌ Nozin: This is an antibacterial nasal spray, so it’s great for preventing infections. I would use this before getting on an airplane, but not for histamine relief.

❌ Xlear: This is a xylitol nasal rinse that can be used to clear out irritants and reduce nasal irritation, but it wouldn’t be my top choice for histamine relief.

✅ NasalCrom: This is a mast cell stabilizer and this is FANTASTIC for hormone induced histamine issues. This one needs to be used daily, and it works better the longer you use it!

✅ Saline Spray: LOVEEEE!!! I use saline spray every single day to help clear out mucus, reduce irritation, and relieve sinus pressure. You can use unlimited amounts of saline spray! 😂🤌🏻

P.s. You can use Azelastine, Flonase, NasalCrom, and Saline spray together. I personally use Saline spray and NasalCrom daily, and I use Flonase and Azelastine as needed!

Can hormone therapy help your histamine symptoms? 🤔

The short answer is… yes, but there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about it! Let’s break this down. 😅👇🏻

During , your hormones become very chaotic, and progesterone and testostēronē are typically the first to decline. Both play an important role in immune response (specifically mast cells), so when they drop, we commonly see a spike in asthma and allergy-like symptoms. 🤧

At the same time, estrogen begins to fluctuate very unpredictably which can be a recipe for disaster since estrogen actually stimulates histamine production. This is why some women notice their histamine symptoms get worse after starting estrogen therapy. 🫠

HOWEVER, this doesn’t mean you can’t use estrogen if you have histamine issues. It just means your protocol may need a little extra finessing. One of the main ways we do this is by making sure your progesterone and testōsterōne levels are stable before introducing estrogen into your protocol. (This step is VERYYY important!)

Histamine can be very finicky, and everybody responds differently to hormone therapy. So I can’t promise that hormone therapy will cure all of your histamine symptoms, but i can say that it is an incredibly useful tool when it is done correctly. 🤌🏻

Here are some of the BEST OTC histamine hacks, because gatekeeping is lame and this info should be free. 🙃

👉🏻 If you need fast, daily relief, you gotta try combining H1 + H2 blockers (Zyrtec + Pepcid). ☑️ Why it works: Histamine acts on different receptors throughout your body. H1 blockers calm the ones behind hives, itching, flushing, and congestion. H2 blockers target the receptors in your gut and cardiovascular system, which is why they can help with GI symptoms, palpitations, and that random anxiety.

👉🏻 If your flares are triggered by food, you gotta try DAO enzymes!
☑️ Why it works: DAO (diamine oxidase) is the enzyme your body uses to break down histamine in your gut. Some women don’t make enough of it, and histamine from food can build up and spill over into your bloodstream. Taking one about 15 minutes before meals helps your body clear it faster, especially if you get bloated, itchy, or flushed after eating.

👉🏻 If you want long-term support, you gotta try quercetin.
☑️ Why it works: Quercetin is a natural mast cell stabilizer. It’s very effective, but it works best when taken daily, so think of it as a slow and steady fix rather than a quick one.

These hacks can be incredibly helpful for symptom relief, but if you’re relying on them just to get through the day, it may be time to explore the root cause… especially for my perimenopause girlies (spoiler alert: your hormones are probably the culprit 🫠)
