😢 everything you said validates how I feel and what i know.. now I understand better.

The overflowing bucket, that fills easier and easier, is exactly how I describe my experience.

It crippling, I want to cry.
I pushed through for yeas unaware I was making it worse. Working myself to the bone, just trying to survive.

And half the doctors are less informed than most of us the dark dwellers.

I like it all in theory as a migraine sufferer but we didn’t get much info about how to implement your steps. No tips on how to increase Omega 3’s, where to get generic testing, etc. what exactly are detox genes? And on and on with examples of more info needed. This could’ve been a great wealth of info.

Eliminate high histamine foods if you regularly eat them. See if you feel better.

Also I would just stop all high glutamate foods altogether. Just that’s just my opinion

Hi there, this is Dr. Barrett! WOW, I had no idea that I was pushing the boundaries by talking about a functional medicine approach to headaches... Curious if any of you here have tried solutions for headaches other than meds?

Is there a reason we never see or hear an audience? With no real information having been shared, this really feels more like an extended fear-mongering ad than an actual TED talk. I'm disappointed in this talk.
