4☆ Educational, Lifestyle Changes.
When I see this book I had just gotten over a bad migraine so I was excited to read it.
My Mum, Sister and Myself all suffer with migraines in various strains and forms, triggered by mainly stress or in my case my rheumatoid meds.
Sometimes it effects my throat and makes me feel very sick. Sometimes dizzy, but the severity varies.
My sister's are so bad she can't see at times and takes medication for hers (which makes her very sleepy and foggy head). She's a vet nurse so if she gets an attack at work it's debilitating.
So for me and my family this book was the perfect read.
I was dubious at first as to what to expect. Sometimes with self help books they are very preachy and offer advice or food ideas that are expensive or unattainable.
But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy I found the flow and reading material.
Some of the recipies could become a lil expensive and not all were to my taste but that's because I'm fussy lol
Stephanie Weaver also a fellow migraine sufferer has done extensive research and it really shows.
She doesn't claim to have all the cures, answers or knowledge.
But what she does do is educate and offer small attainable changes that can be achieved with perseverance and time.
Small simple changes are more likely to be impacted and remain in your routine, than big changes that are more likely to be forgotten.
Like with everything including meds, not everything will work for all but it's a trial and error, a process of elimination as to find what will help or work for you.
Stephanie gives plenty of ideas so don't worry.
What i did find particularly useful was the migraine triggers.
I'm not 100% sure what causes mine as i have alot of other health issues but I know stress and lack of sleep is a big root cause.
This book is very much a lifestyle change as much as a self help book.
It really educates, looks at all aspects of life, giving plenty of tips, tricks, suggestions and small achievable goals to change the way you think, feel and live, in order to help alleviate and maintain the debilitating migraines.
Also there are some yummy recipies which is always a bonus as i adore cooking.
I haven't started the plan but I have certainly taken note at maybe implementing change. But as i have other health conditions I will seek advice first.
I definitely recommend reading this brilliant self help, Wellness, cookbook whether you suffer yourself with migraines/ headaches or you know someone who does this would make the perfect gift.
Thank you to Rachel Random Resources for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I have suffered with migraine since I was a small child. I remember missing birthday parties when I was in primary school because of them and I always had a bottle of orange aspirin in my school bag.
The only cure for me was to lay in a darkened room, and I always felt better if I could vomit (too much information?)
Around twenty years ago my GP prescribed a drug called Clonidine as a preventative medication. Every migraine painkiller that I've used in the past has been useless as you have to take them when the migraine starts and once it starts, nothing shifts it.
Clonidine is used by people with angina and works on the blood vessels, I take two per day and - touch wood - my migraines have almost disappeared. I used to have two per week, now it's more like two per year.
However, I do know that certain foods trigger the migraine, or make them worse and I'm always interested to read about how other people have dealt with medical issues that I've experienced.
Stephanie Weaver has produced a concise and well written guide to how to eat better and lessen the pain. Her introduction is interesting and informs the reader of how and why she wrote the plan.
Whilst I'm not following the complete plan, as I'm lucky enough to have found a treatment that works for me, I've studied the food lists and the recipes and my copy of the book is now full of post-it notes, marking the recipes that I intend to try.
This is a sensible, no-fad way to deal with the utter agony that is migraine. I'm sure that it will take some getting used to; as this could be a whole lifestyle change for some people. However, to be pain-free at the end of it surely must be a bonus.

Disclaimer: I did not read this book in it’s entirety front to back, but I did read the majority (I just skipped some details about how to implement the plan).
If it’s news to you that large amounts of sugar and salt are not ideal (and that depending on how or how little you prepare your own food, it’s easy to get way more than necessary), this book may be helpful.
If it’s news to you that not all fats and oils are equal in terms of nutritional value and healthiness, and that vegan or vegetarian diets don’t necessarily suit everyone no matter how healthy they can be for others, there may be something useful for you in this book. If you don’t know much about what’s inside different food groups and how they can impact the body and brain, you might learn something.
And as much as I understand that the author can’t go into detail about every single nutrient and why they can be a migraine trigger, the fact that it is stated that dairy can be a problem and yet the plan, which purportedly eliminates all possible triggers, includes dairy galore undermines the validity of the whole thing in my eyes.
I’m glad this plan has helped some people, and I agree with the author’s argument that dietary impacts are notoriously difficult to study. Just because there still is no consensus on the topic doesn’t mean it isn’t worth testing if diet can have an impact, but I really would have liked more detail about the rationale of this plan.
I finally thought that maybe I’ll find tasty new recipes I can try at the end of the book, but quickly discovered that none of them appeal to me - they cater largely for American eaters. There’s obviously nothing wrong with American style food, but as a European I’m not used to it and prefer to stick to the Mediterranean style diet I tend to largely follow. I point this out in case there are fellow non-Americans interested in this book, so they know what to expect.

In some ways, this book makes me want to cry (no lemons!). That being said, the information is clear and easy to follow. I appreciate the extensive research Weaver has done and her simple, week by week suggestions for making lifestyle changes that have proven for many people to be helpful in reducing migraines. I also appreciate that she doesn't promise to cure headaches and her constant reminders that everybody is different and what works for some people might not be what works for other people. She suggests experimenting with the plan to find what works for you. Anyone with daily headaches and migraines multiple times a week knows that lifestyle changes, however difficult, are well worth it to experience relief.
The idea of waking up without a headache is, frankly, mythical to me, and I look forward to experimenting with Weaver's plan to find my own unicorn.

I decided to review this title because my husband suffers from chronic migraines. He's also spent much time researching how to improve his quality of life as conventional medicines, including the newly released drug haven't worked for him. We've both read this book and the following comments and observations reflect this.
"Looking at this plan makes me feel rebellious and wanting to scream," my husband's initial comment after finishing reading.
The Migraine Relief Plan is thoughtfully set out for the migraine sufferer to ease their way into the eight-week scheme. Controversially, the program recommends cutting gluten, something my husband wouldn't consider undertaking unless it was under medical supervision. Interestingly, his doctor, physiotherapist and neurologist don't believe eliminating foods from your diet is worth the time and effort. However, when all conventional means are exhausted, it's only natural migraine sufferers will consider a plan like this and its holistic approach to a complete lifestyle change ridding themselves of the debilitating symptoms finally.
We both agree this book is informative with plenty of practical advice. There's something to learn even for my husband! "Generally, considerable good wisdom … many good tips." He also notes similarities between himself and the author's symptoms.
The lifestyle sections will appeal to anyone who's wanting to become healthier and more mindful. While some things are familiar, we both appreciated how activities are consciously woven into the dietary program.
Overall, it's a plan which works for the author but we both wonder if this plan is just as easily be transferable to the European market because it may be more difficult to get a hold of some of the ingredients listed within the recipes. After a quick check, it looks like most things are available for a price £££
Even though my husband is the one with migraines, introducing the plan will impact the whole family and we'll have to give further consideration on how we could fully incorporate this plan into our lives to benefit everyone. In the meantime, there are recipes we will try.
We read the review copy via the Kindle app on an iPad and the formatting wasn't good and in areas where we found it difficult to understand where tables/lists are supposed to be. Therefore, the printed version is probably more favourable version to buy.

I really appreciate Stephanie Weaver’s optimistic outlook. She combines Turknett’s The Migraine Miracle ancestral diet, with a low tyramine diet suggested by Buchholz in Heal Your Headache. She provides step by step manageable instructions to get you gradually on the diet instead of going cold turkey. She does it gently so that you can do it even if you are having frequent attacks. This is probably the plan I will follow. Completely changing the way I eat is going to be hard, but living with migraines is harder and, I think, impacts my life more. I’m tired of being in pain all the time and worrying when the next attack will be. I’m ready for change.

This book was really well researched and I am pleased as punch that this plan worked for her, but it totally misleading. It really is a 8 month plan and I believe that it is really unrealistic. I have pretty severe migraine, but I would rather have migraine than deal with her plan. Additionally, it doesn't follow my rules for a good cookbook, which I understand it technically isn't. However, there are no pictures for recipes...bad form.

This cookbook isn't JUST for migraine sufferers. What a gift Stephanie Weaver has given this world! The book is not only aesthetically pleasing, it's got incredible recipes and suggestions.
A Must-have!

As a hereditary sufferer of migraines, I was eager to read this book. My father found that acupuncture worked for him as well as having an allergy test to see what foods were his triggers. I found some of the same foods triggered my migraines, but I also discovered that hormones had a part to play as well. In some respects I am very lucky as I don’t suffer from them often, but when I do…
This book is a lifestyle guide, it has a great introduction about the authors’ experiences. I think that knowing the author had first-hand experiences made me more willing to pay attention. I am a believer that you don’t truly know what someone experiences until you experience it yourself, you can empathise and offer support but it’s never quite the same.
The book is quite intensive and packed full of so many useful advice, tips and ideas. Taking small steps rather than jumping in at the deep end and ditching the stuff in cupboards and fridge seems to me to be a very sensible approach. The focus is on building up a regime that is manageable and more importantly maintainable. Often diets and lifestyle changes fail as there is too much too soon and the novelty wears off.
There are lots of tips throughout this book, and while I did find some that were useful there were some that did not really apply to me. This is not a criticism in any way, as each sufferer is different, therefore there will be things that are more relevant to some.
Now to the recipes, they have an American feel to them as I would expect given the author is herself an American. There is a range of snacks, lunches, desserts, dressings, and sauces, some of these have a budget rating.
The book is a guide, it is about a change to not only your diet but also the lifestyle. It starts as an 8-week plan but encourages a longer period for better results. This is a well laid out book. It is not a cure-all, and it does not report to do that, it is a guide of things that can help people to manage and maintain a lifestyle. It looks at a whole-body approach rather than just pinpointing one specific area, so health, fitness, sleep as well as diet are dealt with.
I think if you are looking for this sort of approach that could help with reducing symptoms and works alongside your already prescribed medications then I think this book will be beneficial. I found it interesting and I did take quite a lot of things from it that I can easily work into my own lifestyle. It is a book I would recommend.

Initially, when I read the section how the book is organised, I wondered why it would take 3 weeks of preparation before the reader was asked to start eating the foods on the plan.
Then it hit me! How many times I have tried to 'diet' but still had easy access to all the things I should not eat? And what happens when the diet change is sudden and all-encompassing? Well, the simple answer is that I give up, and go back to the foods I know and enjoy. The answer, therefore, is to introduce changes slowly, and to remove temptation.
Whilst I do not suffer from migraines, there are other health issues that I need to consider when making family meals, and once I had thought about it, the first three weeks of The Plan provided sensible advice. Each week the reader is asked to clean out a food storage area, check its contents, and get rid of certain foods which might be a trigger for migraines. There is no rush to change your diet in these early weeks. It's more about learning what you should and should not have in your store cupboards.
I found Ms Weaver's personal experience interesting to read. She saw two doctors who gave conflicting advice, and two different diet sheets, because one of them was still using an outdated diet sheet. Only from her own investigations could she work out what she could and could not eat, and as such, her book serves as a useful guide. Although this book is written with migraine sufferers in mind, I think the advice offered could help anyone who needs to rethink their diet for whatever reason.
The recipe section contains lots of interesting meals, but perhaps not all would be something I would want to make for myself or my family. However, I found the food list summary much more useful, as armed with that, I can adjust my own recipes to make meals which are familiar to us as a family, but without the migraine-triggering ingredients.
The plan isn't all about diet. It also considers sleep and exercise as part of the regime to better manage migraines, and in Month 7 there is advice on how to go about testing yourself for foods which might be bring on a migraine.
Ms Weaver's advice is clear and easy to understand. Overall, I thought this book was well-researched and reasoned, and would be a useful tool for anyone trying to better manage their migraines.
My thanks to author Stephanie Weaver for a free copy of this book to review.

Great book! Holistic in its approach and easy to read and understand. Unfortunately impossible to implement fully as a vegetarian... But I'm definitely still taking away a lot from it!

I suffer from migraines myself, so I was incredibly excited to read this book. The author did not disappoint.
For anyone who suffers from migraines, you all know how horrible they can be. For me, they come on rather quickly and fluctuate on how serious they will be. Weaver has given me some fascinating insight to them as well as some great tips. She gives her readers a total body plan, not just a diet to follow. She gives other tips such as proper rest, exercises, and relaxation techniques that not only promises to help alleviate and avoid migraines, but also how to live a healthier life.
I have not begun the plan myself, but all the tips seem fairly straight-forward and pretty easy to follow. I, myself, will beginning the program in the upcoming weeks. I’m looking forward to it.
I liked the ecopy of the book so much that I have ordered the paperback edition so that I can make notes and highlights in the book. For anyone who suffers from these debilitating headaches, I would recommend that you give this book a look. I will have a follow up review a few months after I begin this plan to let others know how this plan is working for me.

Much more than a book of recipes, this lifestyle guide focuses on clean eating and small, gradual changes to prevent pain and optimize healthier choices. Self care, including mindfulness, meditation, massage and bodywork, even ergonomics and sleep patterns are all part of this plan to improve life experience.
Designed as an 8 week transition, followed by six months of further assignments and deeper changes, to change behaviors, taste preferences, habits, etc had me taking copious notes and posting reminders in my kitchen. This is a book I will refer back to frequently. There will also be a follow up cookbook.
Although this author had symptoms her entire life, she was not diagnosed until her fifties. This book has abundant resources and is well researched, supported with scientific data.
I found fascinating and inspiring insights in a section regarding belly fat'
Giving yourself a break, after all we are only hhuman, does not mean to take yourself totally off the hook of responsibility.
I give this book at least 5 stars!

I really enjoyed reading this book and learning more about migraines. I used to suffer with them a lot in my twenties and recently had a flair up.
I really like the fact that Stephanie decided to research migraines to find answers for herself. The result is this book, a source of information and a collection of beautiful recipes.

I didn't know onions can trigger migraine. They are part of my daily meal. Nonetheless, it's good to know.
And this book is a good read! As a migraine sufferer (very very mild), I always want to read & know more about it. Taking care of health is important. :)

I really loved reading this book, I'm starting on week one now that I'm done reading, library book, and typed up all of the recipes and assignments. I really hope this plan works for my headaches, I'm on good medication to where I only get a few a month but its a lot better than what it was. My hope is that this Plan works so I won't have to take medication anymore, but i know it's a long shot. I'll write another review when I've gone through the whole Plan and see if it works for me. A big thanks to Stephanie for writing this book as it has opened my eyes to what other migraine-rs deal with, since all of our triggers, symptoms, etc are different in a lot of ways.

This is a great recipe book even for those who do not have migraines. This one is a keeper to add to my collection of recipe books.
