In this episode of the Migraine Heroes Podcast, we dig into a surprising question: Could avocado be making your migraines worse? Diane Ducarme takes you through the journey from traditional Eastern medicine to cutting-edge Western research, revealing how one popular “health food” might be quietly stirring up inflammation and neurological chaos.
