A Targeted Approach to Resolving Migraines by Finding and Addressing Root Causes

Three stage approach finds and addresses migraine causes

Stage 1. Extensive Testing

Each person has different causes. That’s why we test a wide range of biomarkers identified as having a high probability of causing migraines.

Microbiome

The condition of chronic migraines often stems from the gut. We use advanced DNA technology that identifies the presence of gut microbiota species known to be implicated in chronic migraines.

Blood

By attempting to cope with chronic migraines, your body develops numerous deficiencies and imbalances that can make symptoms worse. Our blood testing uncovers biomarkers known to be implicated in migraines allowing for a targeted protocol that addresses your individual imbalances.

Hormones

Hormones often become imbalanced in the presence of chronic migraines and can make symptoms worse. We use one of the most advanced hormone tests available to understand a wide range of hormone levels known to be implicated in migraines.

Stage 2. Addressing Root Causes

Diet

A specific diet plan is developed for you that targets the food sources of migraine causing bacteria as found by your microbiome test. This involves the temporary elimination of certain food groups known to proliferate the population of harmful gut microbes implicated in migraines.

Microbiota

Specific natural antimicrobials supplements are used to target individual migraine causing bacterial species as identified in from your microbiome test.

Deficiencies

Specific natural supplements used to resolve nutrient imbalances identified in your blood test. This restores the body’s ability to heal itself at the same time as migraine causing bacteria are removed.

Stage 3. Restoring Normal Balance

Diet Diversity

Populations of migraine causing bacteria have now been addressed and we can begin to bring back in diet diversity. This involves adding back in one food group at a time and monitoring symptoms.

Reducing Nutrient Supplements

With the gut microbiome being addressed and deficiencies resolving we can now reduce and remove nutrient supplements used in stage two.

Addressing Hormone Imbalances

Specific natural supplements are used to address hormone imbalances and to restore healthy and protective pathways of hormone production. Once migraine symptoms have abated these supplements can be reduced and removed.

Sample Tests, Results and Outcomes

Below are real test results and outcomes from females with chronic migraines in our clinical trials.

Female 22 yrs
GI 360 Advanced microbiome test
Dutch Advanced hormone

Symptoms: Chronic migraines, allergies and occasional slurred speech.

Significant findings: Microbiome infected with H Pylori, Bacillus and Streptococcus leading to significant gut inflammation and weakening of the gut lining (low secretory IgA). These factors were driving hormonal imbalances and further contributing to chronic migraines. Hormonal imbalances of excessive DHEA production were leading to high androgen production and further inflammation causing lack of estrogen clearance through 2-OH-E1 pathway forcing estrogen clearance through damaging pathways and exacerbating migraines.

Outcome: Specific diet and supplement protocol to address H Pylori, Bacillus and Streptococcus overgrowth. Subsequent rotation into specific supplements to address hormone imbalances of excess androgen production and to support healthy estrogen detox.

Significant reduction in intensity and frequency of migraines.

Female 24 yrs
GI 360 Advanced microbiome test
Dutch Advanced hormone

Symptoms: Chronic migraines, weight gain, anemia, nausea, sinus issues, anxiety and dizziness.

Significant findings: Microbiome overgrowth of Bacillus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus causing weakening of the gut lining (low secretory IgA) and systemic inflammation. Hormonal imbalances influenced by gut condition and showing excessive androsterone production and lack of estrogen clearance through protective pathway 2-OH-E1 collectively causing intense frequent migraines.

Outcome: Specific diet and supplement protocol to address Bacillus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus overgrowth. Subsequent rotation into specific supplements to address hormone imbalances of excess androgen production and to support healthy estrogen detox (towards 2-OH-E1 pathway).

Significant reduction in intensity and frequency of migraines, nausea and dizziness. Reduction in weight. Resolution of anemia.

Female 25 yrs
GI 360 Advanced microbiome test
Dutch Advanced hormone

Symptoms: Chronic migraines, PCOS, weight gain, constipation and anemia.

Significant findings: E coli, a harmful pathogen, presented in her microbiome test along with other harmful microbes Klebsiella, Enterococcus and Bacillus. Hormone test revealed a significant lack of progesterone leading to a state of estrogen dominance as well as excess DHEA production.

Outcome: Protocol designed to address harmful microbes, particularly formulated to target severe Klebsiella and E coli. Second stage involved diet and supplement protocol to raise progesterone, reduce estrogen production, and support healthy estrogen detox.

Significant reduction in intensity and frequency of migraines, PCOS and weight gain. Resolution of anemia and constipation.
