Dr. Angela Stanton, herself a migraineur, harnessed her extensive knowledge of biochemistry and physiology to discover a root cause of migraines: electrolyte imbalance. Applying simple dietary interventions, she controlled her migraines, and has shared the benefits of her innovative protocol with numerous migraineurs via her free resources as well as her best-selling book "Fighting the Migraine Epidemic: Complete Guide; How to Treat and Prevent Migraines Without Medications."
