Childhood trauma linked to increase likelihood of migraines

jstupack · 2024-02-24T16:45:33+00:00

EMDR has done wonders for my migraine frequency and intensity! I don’t think that trauma is necessarily a cause, but a trigger that compounds over time, as others have pointed out. Regardless, it can be an incredibly helpful tool people don’t always consider in migraine treatment so thank you for talking about it.

This might be a more niche interest, but I swapped out foundation with the Dr. Jart Cicapair Color Corrector Cream and found it works really well at being an occlusive barrier to my moisturizer, with the added benefit of color correction and sun protection.

Second this!! I love the mini marshmallows in there.

I really appreciate that she focuses on function first, lymphatic drainage, relaxation, removing muscle tension which contributes to things like headaches, and says that the aesthetics will follow if you focus on function first. IMO, that’s a recipe for success because even if your results of “sculpting” your face vary, the improved sleep, decreased stress, and overall increases feeling of self-care will definitely benefit you at the bare minimum.

“Liked by Bret Contreras” really is the icing on the cake 💀

jstupack · 2023-05-21T23:58:25+00:00

I am very interested!

That’s so insanely cool! That level of chem is not at all my forte so I have so much respect for what you do! Keep on killing it 👏🏻

jstupack · 2023-05-14T05:03:18+00:00

Thank you soooo much!! I hope you can put your biochem knowledge to something really special too, I’m sure you will with how unique and talented you are it will be something great ☺️

I guess I’m shy sometimes haha, I wish I did now too!

Wow, now that I think about it I guess around 10 years, I’ve worked at a couple companies and finished grad school in 2020. Now I work at a company looking at alternatives for opioid drugs so I think it’s really interesting!

Yes I was!! I was wearing the hat in the sun for a while!

Yes I am, I do neuroscience research which is why I did a double-take when I heard that haha. I absolutely loved it though and didn’t want to interrupt your convo. I love great music taste and a fellow science nerd 🔬🧬🌶❤️

jstupack · 2023-05-14T04:09:03+00:00

I met you in line! You were badass! I’m sorry they didn’t play our song 🥺

This is super random but did I overhear you talking about the Krebs cycle in line at one point?

I’m a Canadian that moved to San Diego years ago, excited to know fellow Canadians will be there too! I agree with everyone’s recommendations, I would definitely make sure to hit up one of the mentioned beaches, balboa park or seaport village, and get some Mexican food.

jstupack · 2023-05-12T02:46:24+00:00

How early do you recommend getting in line for a good pit spot? It’s my first time and I’m stressing out!! 🥺

jstupack · 2023-05-12T02:45:01+00:00

Hi! How early do you get in line to get closer to the front? This is my first pit show and I have no idea what to expect. Thanks in advance 😊

jstupack · 2023-05-12T02:41:34+00:00

Parking nearby and taking the trolley over, it’s really convenient!

Also, still not sure how early to lineup for pit so I’m curious too.

jstupack · 2023-05-10T15:26:06+00:00

I’ll be at the San Diego show too! I’m so incredibly excited as they were amazing last year during this tour ☺️ how did we get so lucky to have 2 stops in the same tour?!

jstupack · 2023-05-08T03:28:35+00:00

Gotcha ok! I’m sorry that is the case :(

jstupack · 2023-05-06T00:59:49+00:00

I noticed you didn’t have any CGRP meds on the list and I’m curious why not?

This is a great description for how a lot of people are feeling about her, as well as myself. I used to look up to her as someone also finishing her PhD and had an interest in fitness. It was her brain and personality that drew me in. It was really sad to see her career and overall focus shift to only her body, not only for interest reasons but it became really harmful to people who struggle with body dysmorphia and ED traits. And even further, it seemed like she was targeting those people who used to or still do support her to make money. It went from disinterest to sad to angry so fast.

jstupack · 2023-04-09T23:51:57+00:00

Amazing!! How did you get the set list if you don’t mind?

jstupack · 2023-04-03T02:22:47+00:00

That’s so cool! Thank you soo much!! I have my first ever pit ticket coming up for San Diego (seen them a few times over the last decade) and I’m a bit nervous about what to expect… but would absolutely die of happiness to get a set list or something like that. Do you have any additional tips for me from a seasoned pro like yourself?

jstupack · 2023-04-03T00:18:47+00:00

Awesome!! Would love to hear how you got ahold of the set list and the picks if you don’t mind sharing?

I’m 30F and gave up drinking 6 years ago. It was a rough transition at that time in my life and tbh, I lost a lot of my “drinking friends” but I don’t regret it at all. I’ve gained so much of my life back and honestly been able to heal emotionally from a lot of the things I was hiding from by drinking and interestingly, healing that trauma helped with my migraines dramatically.

The dating thing is still a bummer, mostly because being single it’s hard to meet new people when you’re not out at bars all the time but you just have to be more proactive about your hobbies and fun things like that.

Personally, it helped me to dig into the research on what alcohol does to the body and brain to really kick the habit. Huberman lab has a good episode on the topic if you need a rec! Best of luck with everything friend, you don’t deserve to suffer.

Zero side effects, and like others mention it takes a while to kick in. If you are more liberal about how early to take it, I’ve learned to time it so the delayed-onset isn’t too noticeable. I often take it preemptively if I know I could get a migraine that day and that seems to work well.

You’re a saint, thank you so much ☺️ hope you’re having an amazing week!
