It stirs a compelling sense of urgency to uncover not just the "what," but the "why" behind our pain - a quest that every migraine sufferer finds themselves on.
Emphasizing the need for a multifaceted approach, Shifflett's guide transcends the conventional boundaries of medical literature. It touches on diet, lifestyle modifications, and emotional well-being, showcasing how intertwined our body's systems truly are.
