The interview

What transformations have you experienced in the past year working with Dr. Meg?

I have gone from having 4 to 6 migraines a month to having one migraine in the last year. I am no longer taking any medication for allergies and no medications because I no longer have migraine headaches. It totally changed my life and now I can fully engage and not be concerned about whether or not I am going to miss a family celebration or a trip.

What was your life like before working with Dr. Meg?

I am a retired home economics, foods, and nutrition teacher. Before working with Dr. Meg I was really struggling with migraine headaches with allergies. I had been suffering with those for 40 years.

What made you decide to work with Dr. Meg Mill?

I listened to a podcast done by Dr. Meg, 'How to manage headaches and migraines.' She had a totally different approach than I had ever heard before. She shared about her own struggles with migraines and other health issues, and I thought, 'oh, that sounds so much like what I'm dealing with right now.'

What other treatments had you tried in the past that didn't work?

I had seen medical doctors, neurologists, physical therapy, and chiropractic medicine. I tried supplements. Every time a migraine came or the allergy symptoms, I would have to go back to the medication that just treated the symptom. All those things did not get down to the root cause of the migraine headaches, the allergies, or the eczema I was experiencing.

What surprised you most about the process?

How thorough she was from start all the way through. She did a very thorough initial history. It is what has brought me to today with being migraine-free, and allergy-free, and the skin issues have resolved themselves.

How would you describe Dr. Meg's support and communication?

She has a very kind and gentle approach to her. She is very open to answering any and all questions that I have available through Zoom link once a month but also with email. She has a wealth of resources and other support for me.

How was this different from your experience with other medical providers?

In medical clinics, I had a window of time of 10 to 15 minutes. Very few questions were asked regarding dietary intake or lifestyle. The physicians were very focused on treating the symptoms rather than looking at the root cause of the problem.

Frequently asked

How does Dr. Meg Mill's approach to migraines differ from traditional neurology?

Nancy Obritsch noted that while neurologists and medical doctors focused on 10-15 minute windows and treating symptoms with medication, Dr. Meg Mill performed a thorough history to identify root causes. This approach included looking at dietary intake and lifestyle factors that previous providers had ignored.

Can functional medicine help with long-term chronic migraines?

Yes, Nancy reported suffering from migraines for 40 years before working with Dr. Meg. After one year of the program, she went from multiple monthly episodes to being virtually migraine-free and able to attend family events without fear.

Is it possible to stop taking allergy and migraine medications?

According to Nancy, she is no longer taking any medication for allergies or migraines. She credits this to Dr. Meg's thorough process which resolved the underlying issues that caused her symptoms and skin eczema.

Full transcript

Some of the transformations in working with Dr. Meg in this past year it's been just over a year I've worked with her, and I have gone from having 4 to 6 migraines a month. Ive had one migraine in the Last year. I am no longer taking any medication for allergies and no medications because I no longer have migraine headaches. It totally changed my life and now I can fully engage and not be concerned about whether or not I am going to miss a family celebration or a trip or any other daily life events because I'm in bed with a migraine. I am Nancy and I am from Bismarck, North Dakota. I am a retired home economics, foods, and nutrition teacher. Before working with Dr. Meg I was really struggling with migraine headaches with allergies. And I listened to a podcast done by Dr. Meg, which really intrigued me. It was, "How to manage headaches and migraines." And She had a totally different approach than I had ever heard before. What made me say "yes" to Dr. Meg was the way she approached it. First she shared about her own struggles with migraines, with some of the other health issues. And I thought, "oh, that sounds so much like what I'm dealing with right now." And helped me to know that she had been through it herself. The things that I've tried in the past that didn't work for me... I had seen medical doctors, neurologists, physical therapy, chiropractic medicine. I tried supplements. Every time a migraine came or the allergy symptoms, I would have to go back to the medication that just treated the symptom of it. And all those things that I had tried did not get down to the, the root cause of the migraine headaches, of the allergies of the skin, the eczema that I was experiencing as well, What surprised me most about Dr. Meg was how thorough she was from start all the way through - I'm still working with her but she did a very thorough initial history. It is what has brought me to today with being migraine-free, and allergy- free, and the skin issues have resolved themselves. And honestly I am just so overjoyed because of the way it has changed my daily life, my daily routine, my daily outlook on life. I very much am enjoying working with Dr. Mill. She has a very kind and gentle approach to her. Very open to answering any and all questions that I have available through Zoom link once a month but also with email. I can email her questions, she will have answers for me, she will have suggestions for me and just has a wealth of resources and other support for me. And it's - she has just really changed my Life. Working with Dr. Meg was different than working with other providers because I felt in going into medical clinics and seeing a doctor, I had a window of time of 10 to 15 minutes. Very few questions were asked - if any at all - regarding dietary intake, anything having to do with lifestyle. The physicians that I was working with were very focused on treating the symptoms rather than looking at the root cause of the problem. I have recommended Dr. Meg to friends and family, both. Family who have noticed the change in myself. Not hearing, "I'm not able to make it because of a migraine," and wondering what I did after suffering with those for 40 years, what change that I made that I could engage in life fully. And so I was able to share with those, especially others that have been suffering from migraines. I was able to share my own experience with them in hopes of helping them have relief as I've experienced myself.
