  • 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!

  • Sensible, balanced and supremely useful

    I’ve just stumbled across this after feeling pretty desperate with yet another vestibular migraine. I’ve never heard of the charity or the podcast before, but I listened to three hours straight and I’ve already got some truly vital tips - from quite fundamental advice around medication and how to use it (which is game changing as nobody has ever told me before) to patterns of eating, how to use supplements to best advantage etc. It’s just brilliant.
