Approximately 15% of the population suffers from migraines, many of which are debilitating and impact daily life, work, and relationships. For years, migraines were seen as something people had to endure or blamed on genetics. Today’s guest, a chronic migraine sufferer, shares her journey to uncover the root causes of migraines and how to prevent them from taking over her life.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elena Gross to discuss migraines, their top root causes, and her Four-Pillar plan to address them. Dr. Gross highlights modern lifestyle practices that can increase the prevalence of migraines and the toxins that can trigger their onset. She also shares insights from epilepsy research that shifted her perspective on how to address migraines effectively. If you’re seeking answers on how to prevent and manage migraines, this episode is a must-listen!

Dr. Elena Gross is a neuroscientist with a PhD in clinical research and a former chronic migraineur. Her personal struggle with migraines and the lack of effective treatments inspired her to pursue an MSc in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and a PhD at the University of Basel, aiming to better understand this debilitating condition and improve clinical care. Passionate about the therapeutic potential of ketosis and nutritional interventions, Dr. Gross focuses on mitochondrial functioning, energy metabolism in brain health, and disease prevention to enhance health span. As the founder and CEO of KetoSwiss and MigraKet, and the inventor of four patents, her groundbreaking migraine research has been published in prestigious journals like Nature Neurology.
