Migraine Again

If you spend a lot of time online in wellness spaces like I do, you’ve probably heard of the vagus nerve.

Stimulating the vagus nerve has become a trendy way to “hack” your nervous system, and there’s actually solid evidence behind it. In this week’s featured article, learn how the handheld gammaCore device uses vagus nerve stimulation to prevent and treat migraine attacks, and find out if it’s a treatment worth pursuing. Plus:

•	How to improve your sleep to improve your migraine attacks

•	An acute drug that can stop an attack from developing

Be good to yourself this week,
