Insight: 3 Food Chemicals That Trigger Migraines

You eat clean. You hydrate. You do everything “right.”

So why do your migraines keep coming back?

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, we dig into a hidden piece of the puzzle: common food chemicals that may be silently triggering your attacks—even from foods you thought were healthy.

Hosted by Diane Ducarme, founder of Migraine Heroes and passionate advocate for functional healing, this podcast blends neuroscience, Eastern wisdom, and lived experience to give you relief that actually lasts.

This week, we’ll uncover:

● The top 3 food chemicals linked to migraine flare-ups: nitrates, MSG, and tyramine

● How they affect your blood vessels, nervous system, and inflammation levels

● The surprising Eastern medicine interpretation of these compounds—how they disturb your body’s energetic balance

● Practical ways to track, test, and tailor your diet without going into restriction mode

💡 Plus: Why your body might be overreacting not because it’s broken, but because it’s incredibly sensitive—and how to use that sensitivity as a superpower.

Whether you’re navigating mystery migraines or fine-tuning your diet for fewer flare-ups, this episode will help you reconnect the dots between what’s on your plate and what’s happening in your brain.
