In this French‑language episode of the "Vivre jusqu'à 180 ans grâce au biohacking" podcast, naturopath Alie Bragz explains why migraines disproportionately affect women and offers a research‑backed, natural protocol to reduce their frequency and severity. She begins by highlighting the epidemiology (≈15 % of the global population, a woman‑to‑man ratio of 3 : 5) and shares her personal journey of tracking migraines for two years, noting how hormonal fluctuations, especially rapid drops in estrogen around the luteal phase, trigger attacks. Alie then describes the modern pathophysiology: a cortical‑spreading‑depression wave, activation of the trigeminal nerve, and release of CGRP and PACAP, which cause local inflammation and pulsatile pain. She links these mechanisms to hormonal dynamics (estrogen modulates CGRP, contraceptives raise CGRP levels), stress‑induced cortisol competition for pregnenolone, histamine/DAO imbalance, gut‑liver estrogen recycling (estrobolome), weight‑related aromatase activity, and other common triggers (sleep, diet, weather, alcohol, etc.). The core of the episode is a step‑by‑step, evidence‑based natural regimen: magnesium 600 mg/day (glycinate split), riboflavin 400 mg/day, CoQ10 100‑300 mg/day, a NAC + vit C + vit E combo (≈1800 mg NAC, 3000 mg vit C split), melatonin 1‑3 mg at night, omega‑3 fish oil, plus lifestyle measures (track cycle and attacks for 3 months, stabilize blood glucose, manage stress, evaluate hormonal and histamine panels, consider gut‑liver health). She stresses that supplements are adjuncts, not replacements for medical evaluation, and encourages women to personalize protocols through testing and bio‑hacking tools. The episode ends with a call to share, comment, and tune in for the next bio‑hacking topic.
