Mirgaine

Migraines are thought to effect around 15-23% of the adult population in the UK. Often migraines are misunderstood and have the misconception of being a bad headache, however this neurological condition can cause debilitating and life effecting symptoms such as:

 

  • Pain on one or both sides of head

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Sensitivity to noise

  • Sensitivity to smells

  • Nausea and or vomiting

  • Visual disturbance

  • Fatigue

  • Light-headedness, dizziness, and/or vertigo

  • Movement can often worsens symptoms

​

It is important to understand that each migraine individual has a unique story and presentation and their symptoms and severity can vary hugely. 

Working with Claire

Migraines are a neurological condition that can be triggered by a variety of factors & often very multi factorial. Migraine triggers can vary widely from person to person and may involve a combination of factors, including genetic, environmental, hormonal, dietary, lifestyle, and other individual triggers.

​

Nutritional and naturopathic strategies have been shown to help reduce migraine occurrence and severity and increase the quality of life for many sufferers. As a migraine nutritionist, we will work together, with an aim of understanding your individual triggers and drivers, both within food and lifestyle. 

​

Each migraine sufferer will be unique in presentation, and therefore unique in their treatment plan. I know this only to well with my own life changing experience of migraine associated vertigo. I am only too aware of how migraines can be totally disabling and the struggles you may be facing. For me, diet and lifestyle was an area that was never really discussed in a  medical treatment plan. I have myself discovered how powerful a personalised migraine diet plan, optimal nutrition and lifestyle management can be to any migraine sufferer. 

​

Working with my clients on an individual basis gives me the opportunity to understand not only them as a person but also their medical history and understand their wider picture, such as genetics, lifestyle, hormonal, dietary and whole body snapshot which can be so important and often overlooked when looking to treat migraines. Understanding where the root causes can be coming from is very important to managing migraines.

​

We will work together, providing you with a plan, in which we will continue to build upon, week by week, to support you to understand your migraine triggers and drivers. My aim is to education and empower you to manage and raise your migraine threshold. Your plan will include diet and nutrition advice, including recipe, product and shopping advice, through to areas requiring support such as hormonal, endocrine health, sleep, environmental and stress management advice. Recommendation on supplementation and other tools are provided. Where needed, functional medicine testing such as hormonal, stool, blood and genetic testing can be beneficial to understand your wider migraine picture.

​

You may wish to read further information regarding migraines in my blog posts, as well as read my story, where I talk further into the role of nutrition, gut health, hormonal health and nutrigenomics for example. 

 

I would love to work with you to help you improve your migraines and improve your quality of life using a personalised and individually tailored approach. Please book a free discovery call and I look forward to hearing your story and understanding how we can work together to improve your migraines.
