Migraines and ADHD are something I hear about a lot in my ADHD female community. I also relate to this from a personal perspective with one of my ADHD daughters suffering from migraines, as well as quite a few friends. Migraines can be a lifelong debilitating condition alongside the many other symptoms that come with them. Today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode explores the very powerful connection between migraines and neurodivergence in women with my guest, [Diane Ducarme](https://www.instagram.com/mynectarhealth/), the contemporary master of migraine investigation. Her unique approach combines the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting-edge technology to unearth the intricate root causes of migraines weaving on top of genetics. Diane’s relentless inquisitive mind for highly complex problems is what allows her to deliver life-transforming results, which is the fuel to her energy. What sets Diane apart is her emphasis on the power of functional foods. Unlike conventional approaches focusing on eliminating foods, Diane adds new elements to the equation. Her dedication to unravelling the mysteries of migraines has inspired a podcast, "Migraine Heroes," and her company, Nectar Health, is at the forefront of this remarkable journey towards migraine relief and wellness. On this episode, Kate and Diane speak about: - A digestive superfood that could help your migraines - The vagus nerve and the connection to migraines - Why migraines could be related to your ADHD - How your digestive system can hold the keys to health - The connection between your brain function and your food - The profound wisdom of Chinese traditional medicine - How Hormonal shifts affect your gut and brain - Having period cycles that can actually feel good - The effects of endometriosis on the digestive system - What chinese traditional medicine can teach you about ADHD
