The book
HEADSTRONG
Understand Your Brain. Break Your Migraine Patterns.
Barbara Van De Keer wrote HEADSTRONG about the biological building blocks of migraine, from the nervous system and hormones to the gut and inflammation, and how they work together in your body. HEADSTRONG is the English edition of Koppig, and it is on its way.

What HEADSTRONG is about
Migraine is rarely one thing. An attack is the tip of the iceberg. Underneath, several systems in your body work together: your hormones, your gut, your energy metabolism, the way you process stress and how your body breaks down substances like histamine and estrogen. When one of those is not working well, it can lower your threshold and make attacks more frequent or more intense.
HEADSTRONG walks through these building blocks one by one, in plain language and grounded in research, so you can understand what change means for your own body and where to start.
From the forewords
“Migraine is an invitation to bring change into your life. This book holds at least hundreds of invitations to understand what change means for your body.”
“More attention for this complex and disabling condition is sorely needed. That is exactly what this book does, in a valuable way.”
