The Breakthrough

The only migraine genomics panel of its kind. I built it.

For decades, migraine treatment has been trial and error: try a medication, wait months, try another. Then genetic research changed everything. Scientists have now identified nearly 200 genes linked to migraine, clustering into four systems: brain chemistry, inflammation, energy production, and vascular function.

I designed the Migraine Relief Code® panel to read those genes specifically for migraine. Nobody else in the country is offering anything like it. You can't order it through a lab, your insurance, or another doctor. It's available only through my practice.

Your medications

Which migraine medications fit your biology, so you stop cycling through ones that don't.

Your foods

Which foods your body can and can't process, based on how you're wired.

Your supplements

What your body actually needs, not a generic stack.

Your lifestyle

The lifestyle changes that will actually change your life.

A simple at-home cheek swab. A completely new way to treat migraine.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've tried the medications, the diets, the supplements. You've done your part. What's been missing is the right data about your biology. That's where we start.

Why Private Care

Your genes are the starting point. Private care takes you the rest of the way.

Every Migraine Relief Code® patient gets my genomics panel. As my private patient, I go much further with you: functional medicine testing to see what's happening in your body right now, private telehealth visits with me, and the prescriptions that fit your biology.

Private visits with me

One-on-one telehealth visits from home with me, not a coach or an assistant. I review your results with you, adjust your plan as your body responds, and coordinate with your other doctors.

A neurologist who prescribes

Most functional medicine programs stop at supplements. Most neurology stops at prescriptions. I do both. I prescribe the migraine medications that fit your genetics, from preventives and fast-acting treatments to newer options like CGRP medications, and hormone replacement therapy when it's right for you.

Functional medicine testing

Your genes show how you're wired. These labs show what's driving your migraines today. Based on your history and genetics, I choose the tests that matter for you. They can include:

  • Gut health: digestion, microbiome balance and food sensitivities
  • Nutrients: deficiencies that quietly lower your migraine threshold
  • Toxins: environmental exposures like glyphosate and heavy metals
  • Adrenals: how your stress hormones, like cortisol, rise and fall through the day
  • Hormones: the patterns behind menstrual and perimenopausal migraine

We treat the root cause, not just mask the pain.

Most migraine care stops at the symptom: another pill for the next attack. I start with why. Your genomics panel shows how your brain is wired. Your functional labs show what's driving your migraines today. Together, they point me to the root causes. Then I treat those causes directly, with the medications, nutrients and lifestyle changes that fit your biology, so you're not just chasing the next attack.

Everything you need to finally feel better

The best of both worlds in one plan: the proven tools of mainstream neurology, plus the root-cause insight of functional medicine and genomics. For migraine and other chronic headaches, including NDPH and post-concussive headache.

What it means to be my private patient

Most migraine care gives you 15 minutes and a prescription. As my private patient, you get me. Migraine Relief Code® is my group program; this is private, one-on-one care. You get everything in Migraine Relief Code®, plus six private telehealth visits where I personally walk you through your genomics results, adjust your medications, and refine your plan as your body responds. You also get functional lab testing and a custom supplement formulated for your biology, with your name on the bottle. I know your story, your results, and your goals.

Dr. Barrett is licensed in Colorado, Texas, and Florida. You just need to be located in one of those states for your telehealth visits (you don't need to be a resident).

The four systems my panel reads.

Illustration of brain chemistry pathways linked to migraine — serotonin, glutamate, and GABA neurotransmitter regulation

Brain Chemistry

Discover which brain chemicals are struggling for you, and unlock practical, targeted solutions that help. Focusing on these root causes help insomnia, depression, and anxiety as well as migraines.

Illustration of inflammation and gut-health genes linked to migraine, GI issues, joint pain, and brain fog

Inflammation

We all have differences in how our gut absorbs food... that's why food triggers are so common in migraine. Stop guessing which magic combination of foods best, and you'll improve not only your migraines, but also GI issues and joint pain.

Illustration of mitochondria and energy production genes linked to migraine and chronic fatigue

Energy Production

Your brain needs strong, steady energy and nutrients in order to function. When we improve energy production inside your cells, then you have better energy too — not to mention fewer headache days, and improved mental clarity and resilience.

Illustration of vascular function and blood vessel regulation genes linked to migraine with aura and hormonal migraine

Vascular Function

Genes related to blood flow, blood sugar, and methylation are critical for regulating migraine. When you know how you're wired, then you know exactly what to do to optimize your biology and relieve migraine.

Real patients who got their lives back.

DeeAnn: "...Life is very different now. I no longer have that constant state of feeling like a migraine's coming."

Karen: "...My life is so different now... I'm not missing time from work, I'm able to fully invest and commit to my career."

Debbie: "I am now living instead of just surviving... My life is just 100% different than what I could have ever dreamed it would be."

Lorie: "I went from having 12-20-something migraine days a month, and being in bed a lot, to... having my life back"

Robyne: "I agree with her philosophy that just pushing a pill to cover the symptom is not addressing the root cause."

Kimberly: "I'm now able to spend time with my family more. I'm able to function better."

Questions

How is this different from the Migraine Relief Code® group program?

Both programs include my migraine genomics panel, which isn't available anywhere else. The group program is group support only, with no one-on-one calls. As a private patient, you also get private telehealth visits with me, functional medicine testing, prescriptions, including hormone therapy when appropriate, and a custom supplement made for your biology.

What functional medicine tests are included?

I choose your tests based on your history and genetics. They can include gut health, nutrient levels, toxins such as glyphosate and heavy metals, adrenal function and hormones.

Can you prescribe migraine medications and hormone therapy?

Yes. I'm a board-certified neurologist, so I can prescribe migraine medications, including preventives and CGRP medications, and hormone replacement therapy when it's safe and appropriate for you.

What happens on the free call?

It's a live Zoom call with me, not a sales team. Sometimes it's just one person, sometimes a few. I explain how the testing works, answer your questions, and help you decide which option fits you.

Can my doctor order the genetic testing for me?

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 Dr. Barrett's practice.

Does insurance cover the testing?

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.

I had genetic testing done through 23andME - will that work?

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 program—the ones that directly influence migraine pathways like serotonin signaling, detoxification, inflammation, and mitochondrial health.

The testing used in this program 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.

Can I use FLEX/HSA Funds?

Yes, you can use your HSA or FSA funds to pay for the program. 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.

Will Dr. Barrett be my Neurologist?

Yes. For the six months of your program, Dr. Barrett is personally your consulting neurologist. She prescribes medications, orders labs, and reviews your results with you directly. If you already work with a neurologist or other physician, she will collaborate with them closely to deliver the best quality of care to you.


Please be aware that Dr. Barrett is not a primary care doctor, and you should keep your PCP during the time you work with Dr. Barrett.
