"The Root Cause of Migraines: How Deficiency, Excess, and Stagnation Trigger Pain"
Monday, January 26, 2025
6:30 pm MST / 8:30 pm EST
For those battling constant migraines, the pain can feel never-ending — a cycle of exhaustion that leaves many searching for quick fixes instead of lasting relief. But what makes Dr. Susan Fox’s perspective truly unique is how she connects migraine pain to the body’s deeper story — not just in the brain, but across the entire system.
Unlike conventional approaches that focus only on symptom management, Dr. Fox uses Traditional Chinese Medicine to decode each migraine’s message. Some stem from deficiencies like anemia, others from excesses such as poor hormonal clearance, and many from stagnation — the buildup of stress or emotional tension over time. Even the location of the migraine tells a hidden truth: frontal headaches point to digestive issues, side pain signals liver or gallbladder imbalance, and pain at the back of the head may reveal hormonal dominance, especially excess estrogen.
With over 23 years of experience in reproductive health and fertility, Dr. Fox brings a rare fusion of Chinese Medicine and modern science to her work. This holistic lens allows her to see what others often miss — that migraines can be powerful indicators of hormonal and systemic imbalance. Her approach doesn’t just ease pain; it helps patients truly understand their bodies and regain balance from the inside out.
Here's what you'll discover on the Masterclass:
Migraines and headaches have different patterns that, when viewed through the lens of Chinese Medicine, help practitioners provide the right response - not a one-size-fits-all approach.
They can be caused by "deficiencies" such as anemia or "excesses" such as poor hormonal clearance, or "stagnation: such as accumulated stress patterns
The location of migraines can also direct us to which organ system is out of balance. Frontal indicates a digestive component; parietal implicates liver/gallbladder, and occipital suggests hormonal imbalance such as estrogen dominance.

"If you do what you've always done, then you will get what you've always got."
My mom used to tell me that when I was a little girl. And you know what?
She was right.
We have to embrace new ideas and technologies in order to live with the kind of health we were meant to have.
Science is showing us new ways to do that.
