Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. But, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention.

In case you missed it in stories, we’re MARRIED 💍 03.10.21 💕

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life.

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues.

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles.

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.

Magnesium is an important nutrient to know about! It can be especially helpful for those with migraines, depression, anxiety, and/or certain digestive disorders (due to poor absorption), I have personally found that taking magnesium citrate during the final week of each menstrual cycle helps ease muscle tension, constipation, and the chance of getting a migraine. This article does a great job of explaining everything you'll want to know about this key mineral.

Magnesium is naturally present in a variety of foods, available as a supplement, and an ingredient in antacids and laxatives. The mineral plays an important role in assisting more than 300 enzymes …

While visiting family in Portland this summer, I was assigned (last minute) to bring a yummy salad. I ended up making a creamy avocado lime dressing. It was SIMPLE, FLAVORFUL & AMAZING. It happened to be low FODMAP (at the recommended 2 tablespoon serving size). And even non-FODMAPers loved it. Now you can enjoy it too!
