Headaches are often dismissed as stress, dehydration, or “just one of those things.” But in clinic, I rarely see headaches as random.

In this Friday 5 episode, I’m sharing five functional, root-cause ways to stop headaches naturally — not by masking symptoms, but by understanding what your body is actually asking for.

We explore why headaches so often stem from blood sugar crashes, mineral imbalances, nervous system overload, histamine build-up, and restricted circulation, and how simple, targeted interventions can bring real relief.

I also share personal insights from my own experience — including why I used to get headaches while fasting, why eating protein helped almost immediately, and what that tells us about the brain’s need for stable fuel.

We’ll cover:

• Why headaches are a common sign of blood sugar instability (even if you’re eating regularly)
• How low minerals — not dehydration — often drive head pain
• The role of the nervous system and vagus nerve in headache patterns
• When histamine and detox pathways are involved
• Why improving circulation can be more effective than lying still

This episode also touches on the growing evidence behind vagus nerve support, including science-backed tools that help calm the nervous system and restore balance when headaches are stress- or tension-driven.
