10 Tips to Prevent Headaches Naturally
You may also find that a practitioner who deals with the fascia web may work wonders. Fascial fitness is now a booming business in America, so working with an expert who understands fascia may reap great rewards.
10. Find Support
We all need support in our lives and finding someone to talk to can help release stress. But after helping thousands of women over several decades, the one common link we have found at Women to Women is solid nutritional support. We have seen over the years that even our healthy organic-eating patients can struggle with health challenges because the nutrients in our food supply are quite simply not what they used to be and because the food consumed today is not what it used to be.
One study showed that to get the nutrients of two pieces of food from back in the 1950s, today we would have to eat 53. We know that that is not likely to happen, so it’s essential to supplement with a high quality multivitamin and essential fatty acid (EFA) supplement like the ones we offer at Women to Women. Most of our patients, however, have less than ideal diets, with too much sugar and not enough high quality fats. If you are experiencing headaches or other symptoms, getting back on track nutritionally is a great first step.

It’s important to remember that headaches are symptoms of something deeper going on. They often have a link to hormones. Insulin concerns from high sugar diets, adrenal concerns from our high stress lifestyles, or imbalanced estrogen and progesterone ratios can result in hormonal imbalance symptoms, including headaches. Testing in these areas is usually a great place to begin.
Working with a functionally trained practitioner can help you to identify the root cause of your head pain so you can begin to be proactive, instead of reactive to your headache symptoms.
