- Very Informative & Interesting
As a 40 year old woman with high frequency episodic migraine (almost qualifying as chronic) this podcast was recommended to me by a friend and it has taught me so much more about migraine and how to treat them. And I thought I was knowledgable about migraine BEFORE listening! This is a great podcast covering all the topics of relevance - highly recommend for all migraine sufferers.

United States2 years ago - Excellent podcast
Excellent and informative podcast. The episodes delve into pertinent topics and provide evidence-based information. As a woman in my forties whose migraines have worsened during the perimenopause, this podcast has given me a launching pad to do more research and bring relevant questions to my neurologist. I also recommend Dr. Katy Munro’s book on migraine and Dr. Louise Newson’s book on the perimenopause and menopause. Keep up the great work!
