Is Leaky Gut, Magnesium Deficiency, Or Diet Causing Your Migraines?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Thrive Market, and
InsideTracker.   Migraines are very common and, for many
people, they can be debilitating, reducing the quality of life.
Some may be so severe that the only option for getting through them
is to rest in a dark room. The Functional Medicine approach to
treating migraines looks beyond the head to assess the health of
the entire body and find the root cause.   In today’s episode,
I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Todd LePine to explore
various ways we can use this approach to eliminate migraines. We
discuss healing the gut and dietary changes, and I also speak about
how low levels of magnesium have been linked to migraines. Dr.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices
Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA.
Through her practice and lecturing, she has helped thousands of
people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She

School and is board certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in
