Manage episode 520091267 series 3545898
Your headaches are regular enough you carry Advil with you. And you’ve started to think why do I get them so frequently. From dehydration and caffeine to sleep issues, stress, and even high blood pressure, headaches can have many hidden causes.
In this episode of Wonder Why, Dietitian Brandy Winfree Root explains how to pinpoint what’s really behind your headaches, why high blood pressure can make them worse, and the role nutrition can play in finding lasting relief. Brandy is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition. After working in dialysis for several years, she began her private practice and blog to help people with kidney disease to prevent and postpone dialysis with nutrition. She also runs a youtube channel where she discusses general nutrition topics and debunks nutrition misinformation.
