Stop living around your next migraine
You cancel plans, lose days in a dark room, and carry painkillers everywhere just in case. You’ve tried to spot the pattern, but your triggers seem to change all the time.
Migraines often have several drivers working together. Hormones, histamine, blood sugar, dehydration, sleep, stress, gut health and nutrient status can each lower your threshold, until one more trigger tips you over.
I help you find what’s lowering your threshold, so migraines come less often and hit less hard.
Is this you?
- Migraines around your period or ovulation
- Headaches after wine, aged cheese, cured meats or leftovers
- Migraines after skipping meals or eating late
- Attacks after poor sleep or a stressful week
- Sensitivity to light, smells or noise
- Nausea or digestive upset during attacks
- Relying on painkillers more days than you’d like
If your migraines follow your cycle or react to wine and leftovers, hormones and histamine are often part of the story.
What's often behind migraines
- Hormone shifts, especially falling oestrogen before your period
- Histamine build-up from food, gut bacteria or slow clearance
- Blood sugar dips from skipped meals or high-sugar diets
- Nutrient gaps such as magnesium, riboflavin (B2) and CoQ10
- Gut health and the gut-brain connection
- Methylation and homocysteine, linked to migraine in some people
- Stress, sleep and hydration
How I work with you
We map your migraine patterns alongside your whole health history.
- Investigate. A detailed migraine and cycle history, diet, sleep and stress.
- Test where it helps. Functional blood analysis, a histamine DNA test, DNA methylation testing or DUTCH hormone testing.
- Plan. Food, targeted nutrients and lifestyle changes to raise your migraine threshold.
- Support. We track frequency and severity and adjust as you go.

Migraine FAQs
Can nutrition really help migraines?
For many people, yes. Steadier blood sugar, the right nutrients and addressing triggers like histamine or hormone shifts can reduce how often migraines happen and how severe they are.
Should I cut out trigger foods?
Sometimes in the short term. But if your list keeps growing, it usually means your threshold is low. We work on raising it so you can eat more freely.
Can I keep taking my migraine medication?
Yes. I work alongside your doctor and any medication you take. Never stop medication without speaking to them first.
When should I see a doctor urgently?
Seek urgent medical help for a sudden, severe headache, a headache with fever and stiff neck, weakness, confusion, slurred speech or vision loss, or a headache after a head injury.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes. All consultations are online and I work with clients around the world. Most of the tests I use can be shipped internationally.
Will I need functional testing?
Not always. Testing is optional, and I only recommend tests that will change what we do. We decide together on your strategy call.
