Whoops, Wrong Way: Turning Life's Wrong Turns into Your Best Journey Yet

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are going."

A simple observation, but the more you think about it, the more it hits home when you deal with chronic migraines.

Every week, I chat with so many incredible women who are in this constant battle with migraine headaches, and I've noticed something.

It's like there's this path everyone thinks they're switching to in hopes of finding relief, but it turns out they’ve stayed on the same road all along.

Here’s What I Mean

Women frequently tell me, 'I've tried everything there is , but unfortunately, nothing works.”'

They start with the basic stuff you can grab off a pharmacy shelf, like that infamous migraine medication with caffeine in it.

But when that stops cutting it, they move on to hefty prescriptions with dangerous side effects that your heart and liver do NOT like…solely because they're desperate.

Med for med… They’ve switched lanes but remain on the same highway.

The Lane-Shifting Spiral

The lane shifting doesn't stop there.

The search for relief continues by adding more meds into the mix. They take one med, then need another for all of the new symptoms that are popping up.

Before they know it, they’re relying on the Famous Medication Cocktail to manage sleep, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, and so much more.

Then, they add Botox to the mix, consider surgery, and even check into a famous clinic that specializes in chronic pain.

However, despite doing all of that, they are still going on the same highway, going in the same direction.

Is this finally the new direction?

There’s a lightbulb moment when they realize that they’re still going in the same direction.

They’re taking different pills, different modalities, and different approaches that all wind up being quick-fix bandaids.

After a while, they switch to what feels like a new direction of alternative therapies that include:

Chiropractic
Massage therapy
Accupuncture
Physical therapy

But even then, it still feels like the same direction.

They are stuck in a cycle of managing the pain bit by bit, rather than looking at the big picture and getting to the root cause to end it.

The truth is. . . when we do this, we think we’re mixing things up, but we’re actually just jogging in place.

The Real Eye-Opener

When I had daily migraines, I often wondered if throwing the conventional medicine rulebook out the window was the solution.

But what would replace all of those medications, alternative therapies, and injections?

A fresh, functional approach.

Thank goodness I switched the roach I was on. This is why I now use and teach the Migraine Freedom Protocol.

When I learned how to identify the root causes and treat my whole body, I stopped putting bandaids on my symptoms.

It took courage to change directions, but I am so thankful that I did.

Now, thousands of women, including myself, have been able to change direction and end up in a much better, pain-free place.

It’s Your Turn To Change Direction

If you continue going in the same direction, unfortunately, you will end up with the possibility of autoimmune disorders, severe gut issues, heart disease, cancer, and mental illness that stem from ongoing inflammation associated with unmanaged migraines.

However, if you chose to change direction, you could find yourself leading a life:

Free from pain.
Fully enjoying time with friends and family.
Confidently overseeing your health and future.

What would that look like for you?

How would it feel to stop canceling plans, get back to work, pick up that hobby, and catch up on everyday living without pain?

Medications commonly prescribed include:

The Alumni and current members of the Freedom From Migraines Method switched direction and have so many amazing successes to show for it.

They can’t wait to share them with you and see you switch, too!

Debbie will uncover what is holding them back from migraine freedom so they can live their life pain and symptom free, work productively, spend the time they want with family and friends, and stop missing out on the things they enjoy.

A message from Debbie:
"I was once right where you are now. 100% believing there was NO WAY to end migraines and my only option was to learn how to live with them or find that magic pill that maybe would work for a while. If anyone told me back then that I could end my pain once and for all, I would have called BS and popped another pill!

Skeptical times 10 was my middle name for sure because when you try it all and everyone tells you they can help you and they don’t. You stop believing… you lose HOPE!

I now realize I was approaching my migraines all backward.

I was trying to cover up symptoms versus trying to end my pain."
