Episode Description

Does your phone feel like both your lifeline and your biggest migraine trigger?

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, we dive into the hidden ways screen time overstimulates your brain — and how to reduce migraine risk without quitting your job, ditching your smartphone, or cutting yourself off from the online world.

Blending Western neuroscience with Eastern healing wisdom, host Diane Ducarme unpacks the physical, mental, and emotional costs of our screen-saturated lives — and how to reclaim your brain’s balance in a digital age.

You’ll discover:

🤳 How blue light, notifications, and poor posture trigger the migraine cascade

🤳 Why your nervous system reacts differently to screens when you’re already migraine-prone

🤳 Eastern perspectives on overstimulation, “scattered Qi,” and how to restore harmony

🤳 Practical hacks — from yellow-tinted glasses to “digital walks” — that help you stay connected without sacrificing your health

This isn’t about a total digital detox — it’s about using screens in a way that serves you, not the other way around.

You’ll also hear inspiring real-life examples of migraine heroes who’ve reshaped their screen habits and found more clarity, energy, and pain-free days.
