The science behind the program
The Good Days Program was developed by applying change management techniques to hours of painstaking research on the science of a migraine.
What causes migraines?
Researchers have not found a definitive cause for migraine. Migraines can be genetic but they can also be a result of environment. Migraine sufferers have been found to have hyper-excitable brains which are sensitive to stimuli.
While there is no cure, there are a number of natural ways you can manage them - namely by understanding your threshold and triggers.
Migraine Threshold
Migraine has a threshold. Imagine your threshold to be the maximum limit towards which your triggers accumulate.
How close you are to that threshold determines the frequency and severity of your attacks.
In order to stay migraine free, you must remain below your migraine threshold.
Watch this video for an example of a threshold at work.
Migraine Risk Factors
The contributing factors to migraine are highly individual which is what makes treating it so complex.
A variety of factors can trigger a migraine. Some of these factors cannot be regulated, such as family history, weather or hormones.
However, a large number of risk factors can be controlled, these include triggers that stem from your daily routines and dietary choices.
Lifestyle Risk Factors
Changes in your sleep pattern, dehydration, exercise, stress - everyday behaviours can all contribute to your attack.
We’ll help you develop a plan to manage risk factors relevant to you, minimising the impact of your attacks.
Dietary Risk Factors
Sensitivity to chemicals found in food and drinks varies from person to person.
Knowing what your triggers are is as important as knowing what you don’t have to avoid.
We’ll help you identify your dietary triggers and work out your specific migraine-dedicated diet.
