More Than a Headache: Understanding Migraine with Dr. Franchesca Fiorito

June 11, 2025

This week on Highway to Health, Jimmy Mac is joined by Dr. Franchesca Fiorito from the Association of Migraine Disorders for an eye-opening conversation that goes far beyond the term "bad headache." Together, they unpack the true definition of migraine, how it differs from other headaches, and why misdiagnosis is so common—especially for patients whose symptoms mimic other serious conditions.


Dr. Fiorito dives into triggers, treatments, and the critical role of CGRP inhibitors, a medication class many people—physicians included—still don’t know about. Plus, learn about the Shades for Migraine campaign and how stigma around migraine continues to affect those who suffer in silence. From lifestyle changes to alternative therapies, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who battles migraines or knows someone who does.
