Episode 12: “When the Pain Won’t Stop: Migraines, Trauma & What Your Body Is Really Saying”**

*Live with Sweet Tee NP & LaToya D. Buchanan, The Blood Work NP – my blood work bestie*

In this deeply insightful episode of *Chanell Love 22*, we explore the hidden connection between chronic migraines, unresolved trauma, and the subtle ways the body speaks when the mind tries to stay silent.

Together, Sweet Tee NP and LaToya D. Buchanan take a functional medicine approach to understanding:

* Why migraines are more than just headaches—they’re messages

* The role of trauma and a dysregulated nervous system in chronic pain

* Common numbing behaviors (like alcohol, caffeine, and overworking) and how they perpetuate the pain cycle

* The emotional roots of physical symptoms—and how functional medicine helps uncover them

* Natural relief tips, including lab tests, supplements, and holistic practices that can support healing

Whether you or someone you love lives with migraines, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and the reminder that your pain has a purpose—and healing is within reach.

Tap in and take notes. Your body is trying to tell you something.
