Misc
: "Almost finished with the second edition of Unraveling Migraine. It's over 300 pages, but still concise and informative. Everything is updated and current. Included is a significant section specific to women's health. Thank you for your patience as I know this subreddit has been lacking recently."

Science/Study analysis on blog

Instagram
: "For decades, migraine gold-standard treatments were studied without analyzing response by sex. This shows up everywhere....triptans behave differently in women, CGRP antibodies need months of washout before pregnancy, hormones change drug responses, etc. More sex-aware prescribing is necessary."
