Are All Migraines the Same Why That Assumption Can Keep You Stuck

If you’ve been told you have “migraines,” you’re not alone.

But here’s the problem:

That label doesn’t tell us why you’re having them.

In reality, there are very different types of migraines—and they require different approaches.

Neurological (Classic) Migraines

  • Visual aura
  • Nausea
  • Light sensitivity
  • Central nervous system involvement

Metabolic / Systemic Migraines

  • No aura
  • Triggered by food, stress, or hormones
  • Often linked to liver, digestion, or blood sugar

Treating both the same way is one of the biggest reasons patients don’t improve.


The question isn’t “Do you have migraines?”
It’s:

“What type of migraine do you have—and what’s driving it?”
