Is there a migraine-friendly diet? Does sugar trigger migraines? Are there any vitamins that treat migraines? How much water should I be drinking? With at least 39 million Americans living with migraines, your patients are sure to seek your help finding relief. Joining me today is The Migraine Dietitian Kelli Yates, to unpack the complex world of migraine management through the lens of nutrition.
Key Takeaways:

• Hydration Goals: Encourage patients to consume 65-100 ounces of water daily.
• Caffeine and Migraines: Individual tolerance varies; limit caffeine intake to below 200 mg per day.
• Sugar Management: Balance sugar intake with protein and fiber to avoid blood sugar spikes.
• Supplements: Consider magnesium, riboflavin, and CoQ10 for migraine prevention; start with one and evaluate. Ensure vitamin is third-party tested.
• Consider environmental triggers: sleep, stress, smells, and bright lights
