The physician describes food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, magnesium deficiency, bowl and gut imbalances as some of the major causes contributing to this problem.

Food sensitivities: It is one of the major trigger factors of migraines. Gluten, a protein found in barley, oats, rye and wheat causes food allergy. For the gluten-sensitive people, Mark advises a complete elimination diet. Stop consuming gluten, dairy, eggs and yeast for at least 3 weeks. Then take a break and look for any symptoms.

Hormonal Imbalances: “Many women get premenstrual migraines, which are often caused by imbalances in estrogen and progesterone — too much estrogen, not enough progesterone,” remarks the author. A lot of stress, alcohol, sugar and starches and not enough sleep can cause hormonal imbalances in women.

Magnesium Deficiency: Sharing his knowledge on magnesium, the author says that it is a relaxation mineral. Take doses of magnesium glycinate, citrate, oxide, or aspartate to get relief from the symptoms. If you have kidney disease of any kind, do this only with a doctor’s supervision.⁣⁣

Bowel and Gut Imbalances: Emphasizing on the importance of bowel and gut imbalances, physician has to say that bacterial imbalances in the gut should be identified and treated. Enzymes, probiotics and omega 3 fats are very important in treating bowel imbalances.
