Powders and Migraines: Why “Natural” Supplements May Be Triggering Your Migraine

That daily scoop of protein, adaptogen blend, or mushroom powder might look like a simple health habit. But "natural" doesn't always mean right for a migraine-sensitive brain.

In this episode, Diane Ducarme looks at what's actually in popular powders, and why some people notice migraines after adding them.

You'll discover:

• Common ingredients that can be an issue for some people, such as added sweeteners, caffeine-like stimulants, high doses of certain amino acids, and herbal blends with limited safety data
• How traditional systems like Chinese medicine and Ayurveda describe some people feeling heavy or sluggish after these products, and what that might mean in plain terms
• How to test a powder safely: one product at a time, tracked over a few weeks, and checked with your doctor or pharmacist if you take medication

Powders aren't good or bad by default. The point is to find out what works for your body.
