Why Your Migraines Aren’t Getting Better - and What Your Body May Be Trying to Tell You
If you've tried medications but still don't feel like you're getting better, you're not alone. When medications aren’t working well enough, it’s a sign to look deeper. Migraine isn’t the same for everyone - each person has a unique biology driving their symptoms.
Dr. Barrett's TedX Talk about precision medicine for migraines in 2023
For some, it’s brain chemistry. For others, it’s inflammation or other underlying imbalances. These require very different solutions, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach often falls short.
If you’re ready to take a more precise, personalized approach, Dr. Barrett is offering a small masterclass where you’ll learn how advanced testing and DNA insights can reveal the biological drivers behind your migraines - and how to begin choosing solutions aligned with your body.
The Masterclass is limited to five people so you can get personalized guidance on what will help you the most

Dr Barrett: "Top 3 Migraine Myths"
Most people with migraine are dealing with one or more of these underlying patterns - often without realizing it. The key is knowing which of these applies to you:
Brain Chemistry
People with the Brain Chemistry Type are wired to respond more intensely to stress than other people do, and they are also more sensitive to sleep deprivation. These are the people who respond better to things like melatonin and sleep tracking.
Inflammation
If you notice a lot of food triggers, then your body could be wired to react to certain foods. And it's actually a simple "yes or no" answer from your DNA testing that tells you if you can digest things like gluten, dairy, histamine, or tyramine ~ so much easier than endless elimination diets!
Energy Production
If you have severe fatigue with your pain, then the "batteries" (mitochondria) inside your cells may not be wired in the greatest way. You're not lazy - your batteries just need very specific kinds of support, as well as detox, in order to work at their best.
Vascular Function
Hormonal fluctuations cause changes in the blood vessels that trigger migraine for certain people, especially if you have aura.
Once you know how you're wired, you can choose the solutions that will work the best for your biology.
What Happens When You Target the Right Biology (Real Patient Outcomes)
DeeAnn: "...Life is very different now. I no longer have that constant state of feeling like a migraine's coming."
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."
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."
Robyne : "I agree with her philosophy that just pushing a pill to cover the symptom is not addressing the root cause."
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t migraine treatments work for everyone? Isn't it true that "One size fits all?"
Nope, not when it comes to migraine. It's "One size fails all." Migraine treatments don’t work the same for everyone because migraines are driven by different biological pathways in different people. The key is to know which systems are involved for you, so that you can focus on optimizing those systems and stop wasting your time on things that are never going to work for you.
Is there a personalized approach to migraine relief?
Absolutely. Every choice you make needs to be in alignment with how you're wired, whether that's a prescription medication, a supplement, a food, or a lifestyle choice. Once you get your Recovery Plan dialed in, with everything your biology needs... that's when the magic happens and you start to see lasting relief.
What if I’ve already tried everything for migraines?
Most people haven’t been offered this approach yet, because I am the first person to develop migraine-specific DNA testing plus powered AI- Recovery protocols. These tools simply did not exist a few years ago.
Do I need genetic testing to personalize migraine treatment?
You can absolutely start the Foundational Work without the DNA testing, but obviously people get the best results from doing the actual testing. The Foundational Work includes the choices you're familiar with - what labs to check, what to eat, how to improve sleep, which supplements to take - but it is based on what the DNA research has told us. because of that, it is far more effective than random trial and error, and many people get results right away.
