Addressing Migraine for Upgraded Health, featuring Dr. Tom Malterre
02/21/24 • 57 min
In this eye-opening episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we delve into the complexities of migraines and brain health with our special guest Tom Malterre. After suffering from unexplained intestinal issues, joint pain, brain fog, and fatigue, Tom found out that Celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities were behind his troubles by doing an elimination diet. With his newly calm intestinal tract, boundless energy, and sharp focus, Tom felt like he was experiencing life on a whole new level. He is the co-author of three books – The Elimination Diet, The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook and Nourishing Meals.
In this interview, we unpack the interplay between stress, inflammation, and nutritional imbalances. We explore cutting-edge topics from the effects of environmental toxins on our microbiome to the healing power of vagus nerve stimulation, all aimed at helping us understand the triggers of migraines and pathways to relief.
Tom shares his transformation through an elimination diet and emphasizes the remarkable potential of simple interventions like deep breathing and finding a sense of purpose to combat stress and promote health. The episode is a robust blend of scientific insights, personal experiences and actionable advice for anyone seeking to alleviate migraine pain and achieve optimal well-being.
