The Starting Gate Episode 46: Headaches Explained: From Tension to Migraine with Dr. Jaclyn Duvall
Migraines aren’t “just bad headaches” — they’re a disease that can be life-altering. In this episode, we sit down with headache neurologist Dr. Jaclyn Duvall to explore the world of tension headaches and migraines. We discuss what causes them, common triggers like food, sleep, and posture, and how to know when over-the-counter medications are enough — and when it’s time to see a doctor. We also cover social media myths, supplements that may help, and the importance of getting proper treatment. We also clear up common misconceptions — like why so-called “sinus headaches” often turn out to be migraines.
Don’t miss this episode — understanding your headaches is the first step to taking back control.
