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?”
