Migraines aren’t just a bad headache. They’re a full body experience that can derail your day and disrupt your life. Join us as we discuss this neurological condition affecting nearly one in five women.

In this episode, Hosts Meredith Cunningham and Brooklyn Elbert welcome back Covenant Health Neurologist Dr. Katie Hendley to discuss migraines, a neurological condition that affects nearly one in five women.

As both a physician and someone who experiences migraines herself, Dr. Hendley offers a personal and professional perspective on what defines a migraine, how it differs from a typical headache, and symptoms like aura. She also shares expert insights on the role hormones in migraine patterns and the connection between migraines and stroke risk.
