Dr. Baker on "Take Charge of Your Health" interview (audio and summary)
Frequently Asked Questions about Natural Migraine Relief
This last week I was pleased to be featured on New York’s WBAI radio show, Taking Charge of Your Health, co-hosted by two thought leaders in integrative care: Corinne Furnari and Carol Peterson.
We discussed a range of topics about getting at the root of your migraines and the use of non-drug therapy options which will ring familiar to regular readers of this blog.
A review of this interview is posted at Ms. Furnari’s site: Furnari Health under “Natural Migraine Relief with Dr. Jeff Baker: Effective Strategies for Lasting Relief.”
This post also gives me the opportunity to introduce Ms. Furnari and Petersons’ work to you.
Carol Peterson is one of the pharmacists who pioneered the practical introduction of bio-identical hormone therapy in America. Her blog is a wealth of baseline knowledge on natural hormone and related care issues. You can find her blog at:
She has many great articles, you may want to start with one of my favorite concepts in her “Defending All Forms of Bioidentical Progesterone” webinar or the post on “Symptoms of Progesterone Deficiency.” Carol also offers personal consults through her website.
Her site also reviews some of the books that are foundational to understanding hormones and health, including Katharina Dalton’s seminal work: “Depression After Childbirth: How to Recognize, Treat, and Prevent Postnatal Depression.”
Carol Furnari has an integrative medical practice in New York, specializing in individualizing advanced holistic therapy for prevention and wellness. I particularly like a comment she made about her work that mirrors my own philosophy: “I work with patients to treat the root cause and reduce their need for prescription drugs.” Find her at:
Her recent blog article on “Vitamin K2 and its Role in Preventing Artery Blockage“ is a great review of why K2 is a vital companion to Vitamin D, especially for vascular disease. Remember that cerebral circulatory factors are very much a key to migraine management! I’ll be back here next with a FAQ posting on the intersection of inflammation, vascular disease and migraines…and some practical “what you can do” ideas. See you then!
