    I read that you eat eggs you maybe surprised to know eggs can cause headaches in those with migraines. I have chronic daily headache and I ate eggs for it low carb count but after reviewing my list of food sensitivity from a test I took eggs are on the list.

      Thanks for the tip! I find that dairy is a trigger for me, but eggs do not seem to be an issue. Cheers!

      Hi, I have really bad migraines and I want to take food sensitivity test, which one worked for you ?

      • michellechandra says:

        Hi Johanna, Sorry to hear you have bad migraines. I have never taken a food sensitivity test. I have found that by going keto (which eliminates a lot of food options from your diet), that I can better tell what foods I react to (for me, I find dairy to be problematic, along with gluten and eating too much sugar.) Best of luck!

    If i understand correctly,you are now working out on an empty stomach ? How does that work with hypoglycemia ?
    I kind of have the same issues and today after running on a fasted state ,had terrible headache

      Hi Aida, Thanks for your comment. I do mostly work out in a fasted state. It took my body 1-2 months to adjust. In the beginning, if I worked out too hard, I would feel shaky and tired. I would recommend saving easy workouts for a fasted state in the beginning while you are adjusting to it. You might also find it easier to workout when you haven’t fasted as long (under 16 hours). I would just listen to your body, start out easy and slowly increase things as your body adjusts. Hope this is helpful!

    Hi Michelle, After experimenting with all of this what do you think had the biggest impact on your migraines? Is there a particular fasting protocol that you thought worked best? Thanks!!

    • michellechandra says:

      Hi Katherine! It is really hard to say, if I find myself in a prolonged migraine state, fasting for 36 hours takes care of things for 1-2 weeks. However, if I am not feeling up for a 36 hour fast, OMAD (one meal a day) over the course of a week can also arrive at the same end result. I think if I was more consistent at daily fasting, and more strict with keto, I perhaps wouldn’t need the monthly 36 hour fast. Before 2020, the combination of exercise, fasting and keto had me largely migraine free. But I am not able to exercise as much and am getting more headaches this year as a result. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss further! My email is michelle.chandra (AT) gmail
