House Call Highlight: The Functional Medicine Approach To Ending Migraine with Dr. Todd LePine

House Call Highlight: The Functional Medicine Approach To Ending
Migraine | This episode is sponsored by Rupa Health and
InsideTracker Migraines are a big problem for many people. These
severe, nearly disabling headaches can occur anywhere from once a
year to three to four times a week. They can last from hours to
days. They are often associated with an aura, light sensitivity,
nausea, vomiting, and severe throbbing pain on one or both sides of
the head. And migraines can be caused by many different factors.
This is where Functional Medicine comes in. Functional Medicine is
medicine by cause; not by symptom. It helps us discover the
underlying triggers of disease. And the root cause of your migraine
may not be in your head at all. In fact, migraines can be caused by
things ranging from food sensitivities and allergies to hormonal
imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, and more. In this episode, Dr.
Hyman sits down with Dr. Todd LePine to discuss the Functional
Medicine approach to ending migraines. They explore how to identify
and eliminate what might be causing your migraines and share
specific patient migraine cases they have treated. Dr. LePine
graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in
Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine.
He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner.

health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the
