Migraines affect around one in seven people, but women are significantly more likely to experience them, especially during times of hormonal change. That includes puberty, perimenopause, menopause, and even certain points in the menstrual cycle.

This live session will focus on the connection between hormone fluctuations and migraine, why it disproportionately affects women and what can actually help.

We’ll talk through what a migraine really is, beyond just a bad headache. We’ll look at the role hormones play, particularly falling levels of oestrogen, and how those shifts can trigger or worsen migraine patterns. You’ll also learn how other factors like stress, disrupted sleep, diet, weather changes and physical activity may act as additional triggers.

The session will cover both short-term relief and longer-term prevention.

I’ll be sharing clinical insights, research-backed strategies and real-life examples to help you better understand migraines, manage symptoms, and have more informed conversations with your doctor.
