THE MIGRAINE RELIEF CODE PROGRAM

No, this type of genetic testing isn’t something your doctor can order—it’s a breakthrough approach developed by Dr. Barrett. As a Stanford-trained neurologist with decades of experience, she created this tool to fill a gap in traditional migraine care. It’s available exclusively through her online courses to people all over the world, making it a bold new way to finally get answers your doctor can’t provide.

No—and that’s actually a good thing. Because insurance doesn’t pay for it, they also can’t access your results or use them against you when making decisions about health insurance or long-term care coverage.

Your results are 100% private and belong only to you. You decide if, when, and with whom to share them. This gives you the freedom to explore the genetic drivers of your migraines without worrying about insurance companies looking over your shoulder.

Great question—and the answer is no, not for this program.

While 23andMe offers general ancestry and health information, it doesn’t include the specific genes or SNPs we focus on in this course—the ones that directly influence migraine pathways like serotonin signaling, detoxification, inflammation, and mitochondrial health.

The testing used in this course is more comprehensive and clinically relevant. It was designed specifically to uncover the root causes of migraines at the cellular and biochemical level, so we can create a personalized plan to support your brain.

Don’t worry—ordering the right test is simple, and I walk you through it step-by-step once you enroll.

No. These tests are migraine-specific—they only look at genes that have been shown in research to influence migraine risk and treatment response. You will not learn about unrelated diseases, scary diagnoses, or unexpected family relationships.

The focus is 100% on helping you understand your unique migraine biology—nothing more, nothing less.

Your genes are like a cookbook — the recipes never change, but lifestyle acts like sticky notes that tell your body which ones to use. Through processes like DNA methylation and histone modification, your daily choices decide which genes are “served” more often and which stay on the shelf. This is called "epigenetics," and this is why you need accurate information about what your body needs you to do.

Yes, you can use your HSA or FSA funds to pay for the course. Many participants have used their Health Savings or Flexible Spending Accounts without any issues.

If you need a detailed receipt or documentation for reimbursement, just let us know—we’re happy to provide it.

I guarantee that you will learn exactly which systems in your body need your help in order to reduce migraines. I also guarantee that I will show you the latest science-backed ways to do that. And last but not least, I also guarantee that I will provide a loving community that will support you as you learn how to integrate these new strategies into your life.

However, I cannot guarantee that you will take action... that part is up to you. So let me ask you this: can you guarantee yourself that you are ready to take charge of your migraines and do everything that can be done to reduce them?

If you're committed to learning and applying the material, this will be a powerful step forward in your migraine recovery.

No, she won’t be acting as your neurologist or prescribing medication.

Her role in this program is to educate and guide you on how to access and use advanced testing—like genetic and functional labs—that are available without a doctor’s prescription.

You’ll learn how to interpret your own data and make informed decisions about your health, but your doctor remains your primary medical provider and the one responsible for your prescriptions and clinical care.

No. Your results are completely private and are not shared with your insurance company or anybody else.

This type of testing is based on the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have been done over the past decade that have revealed which systems in the body are linked to migraines, such as brain chemistry, inflammation, energy production, and vascular function.

Your doctors are unlikely to be familiar with this type of testing. All of the information you need is in the Migraine Relief Code Online Course, and Dr. Barrett and her team are happy to answer any questions you may have as well.

Yes, your genetics tell you which medications are likely to be more effective than others, and you can certainly ask your doctor if those medications would be a good choice for you.

You will find out about which neurotransmitter genes might be linked to symptoms like anxiety or depression. You will also find out which nutrients and foods your body does and does not process well. You will learn how your body clears out toxins and what could be causing fatigue or brain fog. You will also find out if you are prone to vascular problems that cause heart attack, stroke, and dementia ~ so you can be proactive and take action now to reduce the chances of those medical problems in the future.

There are nearly 200 of them! Most of the genes regulate neurotransmitters, inflammation, energy production, or vascular function.
