Autumn Migraines: 5 Triggers in the Fall Season

Autumn can bring more than cooler weather, it can quietly change several factors that influence your migraine threshold.

In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores five fall-season triggers, from atmospheric pressure and shorter days to indoor heating, allergies, and shifting routines.

You’ll learn:

💡 Why changing weather and barometric pressure may matter more than cold itself

💡 How shorter days, heating, allergies, and routine changes can lower your migraine threshold

💡 How to identify which autumn triggers actually matter for your body

The goal is not to avoid the season, but to understand what your system may need as autumn changes around you.
