How to Stop Headaches Using Science-Based Approaches

In this episode, I discuss the causes and treatments of different
types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, sinus
and cluster headaches, as well as menstrual and other hormone-based
headaches. I describe how to distinguish between the different
headache types and how to select the right treatment, including
prescription-based and non-prescription-based treatments,
behavioral and nutrition-based approaches. I also explain the
evidence and mechanisms supporting the use of omega-3 fatty acids,
high dose creatine, peppermint oil, turmeric, acupuncture and more.
Additionally, I touch on traumatic brain injury, the causes of
photophobia, aura, and the link between spicy foods and thunderclap
headaches. By the end of this episode, listeners and viewers will
have a comprehensive understanding of headaches, their types and
the best way to prevent and stop them. For the full show notes,
