How I Finally ‘Cured’ My Migraines

migraine-free

My journey to my health and fitness goals has certainly been a roller-coaster ride. I have struggled with migraines and anxiety for the majority of my adult life. I know I was confused and there is so much conflicting information out there. I used to live by my “rules,” which would change whenever I heard another expert’s point of view.  A few months ago, I finally found my solution!My solution is Shakeology®  and the FOCUS T25 fitness program!!

I have been fueling my T25 workouts with Shakeology®. It really is my healthiest meal of the day!! It is a super nutrient-dense, protein-rich shake that can be used as a meal replacement (it’s my breakfast every morning). Check out my favorite recipe here.

Shakeology’s proprietary blend of digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics helps your body eliminate toxins that have built up over the years due to eating bad food. And its 100% whole-food ingredients fuel your body with essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and nutrients that the average diet lacks.

Here’s the bottom line: If you want to live healthy, you’ve got to eat healthy—and Shakeology is the easiest and most affordable way. That’s because Shakeology is NUTRITION SIMPLIFIED.

A product as complex and amazing as Shakeology is really hard to sum up in just a few words, but I will try…Shakeology is:

  • A daily dose of dense nutrition
  • A world of superfoods in every glass
  • Nature in a bag
  • Nutrition simplified

It’s like nutrition of over 70 super healthy foods (including a world of amazing super foods) in one meal and that it tastes just like a dessert!

I will have completed all 10 weeks of FOCUS T25 tomorrow! What is FOCUS T25? Glad you asked…

FOCUS T25 is a 10-week program split into 2 cycles—ALPHA and BETA—which each last 5 weeks. Shaun T’s pulled out all the rest, so you get everything you need, nothing  you don’t. The result is FOCUS T25—and the name implies the intent: If you focus your intensity for 25 minutes, and you do it 5 days a week, you WILL get results.

Was it tough? Yes!! Did it challenge me? Yes!! Did I want to punch the TV screen sometimes? Absolutely! But I pushed play and followed the plan! Have I seen results? Hell ya! I have lost inches and pounds off my body (I will do a final stats tomorrow)! I do know that I am in smaller size in clothing, I have muscle definition and I am sooo much stronger :) The best part though is the elimination of my migraines and the reduction in my anxiety.

I was hesitant until now to share this here on the blog. I needed to see that it was working and I was seeing results. AND I AM! I really didn’t notice it at first…then all of the sudden it dawned on me!  After being on Shakeology® and completing my FOCUS T25 workouts, I have stopped taking my migraine medication (without any migraines), my anxiety is calming down a bit more every day as well as my weight! I didn’t consciously say, “I’m going to stop my migraine medication.” It just happened. I got to thinking one day that I couldn’t remember taking the medication. Then I thought, “when is the last time I had a migraine?” I couldn’t remember!!! I hated having to take medication every day but the migraines were just too bad and happened too often, so I gave in to daily medication.  I am overjoyed to not have to take that chemical concoction everyday and to be able to live a life that is migraine free! I know I owe it all to Shakeology and my T25 workouts. The combination has become my daily prescription!! I am still a work-in-progress but believe that the little steps over time will compound for AMAZING results!

  • Hi Becky Karen ask me to look at your site I have had migraines and anxiety for 17 years from an assault with head and neck problems. I’m really interested in what you are doing . I want to start up with Karen the march. Any information would be so helpful this medication has taken it toll.

    Thank you so much Michele Quinn 949-922-0332

    • Hi Michele! Glad you stopped by! This post is really my story :) I didn’t go into this thinking that I was going to be able to get off of my medication. It just sorta happened. With the exercise and drinking Shakeology daily, I just felt so great and my migraines disappeared. One day I looked in my medicine cabinet and realized that I hadn’t take the medication for like a month or so! Then I was like, when is the last time I had a migraine, and I couldn’t remember. I know that moving my body daily and putting the over 70 super foods in Shakeology in my body regulated whatever was causing the migraines. My triggers were never figured out. My migraines were hereditary and possibly hormonal (my mom suffered with them too at my age). I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out to me at becky@beckysbestbites.com. :)
