let’s talk about the seven triggers of a headache  now what’s the difference between a headache  

and a migraine headache a migraine headache is  more severe it often has other associated symptoms  

like nausea blurred vision seeing spots sensitive  to bright lights source sounds vomiting or having  

some type of aura about 30 minutes before the  headache some type of sensation giving you a clue  

that there is a migraine coming on but a general  headache is a more mild version of a migraine  

so number one stress can trigger your headache and  that can be from any type of stress but it is the  

number one cause of headaches and it tightens  up the muscles in the back part of your neck  

number two your diet you could have a food allergy  and believe it or not that’s very very common  

especially for headaches that are delayed  because let’s say for example the food  

allergy reaction is occurring lower  in your gastrointestinal tract which  

takes a few hours to get there and as soon as it  hits it it creates a reaction and there are all  

sorts of nerves in your gut that send signals  right up to the brain through the vagus nerve  

so it could be delayed now the typical allergies  would be like peanut allergies gluten allergies  

the protein in milk called casein and there’s  thousands of other ones too much caffeine can  

trigger a headache uh artificial sweeteners  alcohol in the form of something called a hangover  

i don’t know if you’ve ever experienced that  before maybe you might know of a friend or a  

family member a red wine and white wine has  sulfates which can then trigger a headache  

chocolate has certain compounds that can trigger a  headache msg usually in the form of modified food  

starch can trigger a headache i know for myself if  i notice a headache let’s say i’m going to bed and  

i’m like why do i have a headache or i’m waking up  with a headache i will reflect back on what i ate  

and it could be like i went out to a restaurant  and they had some hidden chemicals or msg and  

i will get a headache cured meats have nitrates  which can trigger headaches aged cheeses pickled  

foods fermented foods have a certain protein that  occurs with aging it’s called tyramine and that  

can trigger a headache it’s in blue cheese  it’s in feta cheese it’s in parmesan cheese  

all right number three your environment let’s  say you have a seasonal allergy which affects  

the sinuses that can give you a headache or even a  change in weather can give you a headache because  

the body is having a hard time adapting and some  people even get headaches right before it rains  

because the barometric pressure changes number  four hormones that time of the month all of a  

sudden you get a headache too much estrogen for  this you want to take something called dim or  

a concentrated cruciferous type product to help  lower estrogen you can also take some seek help  

as well a lot of the solutions for the things that  i talk about i’ll put links down below for more  

information number five lack of sleep that will  definitely create a headache usually tightness  

in the spine in your upper back you’ll feel like a  throbbing sensation if you don’t get enough sleep  

number six and this is really common a problem  with your gallbladder or the liver or the ducts  

that drain from the liver to the gallbladder  if those ducts become blocked with some sludge  

because you don’t have enough bile salts that  pressure will back up and that will usually cause  

headaches on the right side of your head if the  headaches are on the left side it could be sludge  

blocking some of the ducts in the pancreatic area  which is related i’ll put two videos down below  

for more information on what to do about that but  this is very very common now if you have a gut  

issue let’s say you have some inflammation  in the last part of your small intestine  

from years of antibiotics or whatever and you  eat a certain food what can happen especially  

if you have a leaky gut is that by the time that  food hits that point in your digestive tract  

that can trigger a spasm in your gut which  can then make you feel kind of nauseous and  

even give you a headache that relates to what i  talked about here and so this is why if someone  

gets a headache it’s very important to ask them  what did you eat not necessarily just before you  

got the headache but maybe several hours before  and you can track it down there’s something that  

you’re eating that’s irritating the gut all right  and number seven certain medications can give you  

headaches now there’s something called rebound  headaches normally when people take aspirin they  

get rid of a headache but sometimes they can  actually trigger a headache after it goes away  

especially when we’re dealing with aspirin  acetyl menophane sleeping pills ibuprofen  

and so if you’re taking some of these for a  headache why not find out the root cause of the  

headache get that corrected so the need for that  becomes a lot less all right thanks for watching
