In this episode, I discuss the causes and treatments of different types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, sinus and cluster headaches, as well as menstrual and other hormone-based headaches. I describe how to distinguish between the different headache types and how to select the right treatment, including prescription-based and non-prescription-based treatments, behavioral and nutrition-based approaches. I also explain the evidence and mechanisms supporting the use of omega-3 fatty acids, high dose creatine, peppermint oil, turmeric, acupuncture and more. Additionally, I touch on traumatic brain injury, the causes of photophobia, aura, and the link between spicy foods and thunderclap headaches. By the end of this episode, listeners and viewers will have a comprehensive understanding of headaches, their types and the best way to prevent and stop them.\nFor the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.\nThank you to our sponsors\nAG1: https://athleticgreens.com/huberman\nLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman\nSupplements from Momentous\nhttps://www.livemomentous.com/huberman\nHuberman Lab Premium\nhttps://hubermanlab.com/premium\nTimestamps\n(00:00:00) Headache\n(00:03:51) Sponsor: LMNT\n(00:07:47) Headache Sources: Muscle Tension; Blood Flow & Meninges\n(00:14:06) Headache Sources: Neurons; Inflammation & Sinus Headache\xa0\n(00:23:21) 3 Neuron Types, Pain, Tension Headaches\n(00:29:29) Sponsor: AG1\n(00:31:05) Tension Headaches\n(00:34:29) Migraine Headaches, Aura, Photophobia\xa0\n(00:43:10) Cluster Headaches\n(00:47:47) Hormone-Based Headaches, Menstrual Cycle & Menopause\n(00:53:38) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Headache, Baseline Health\n(01:02:08) Tool: Headache Treatment, Creatine Monohydrate & TBI\n(01:12:22) InsideTracker\n(01:13:55) Headache Treatment, Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fatty Acids (Linolic Acid)\n(01:22:14) Tool: Omega-3 Supplementation, Omega-6 Fatty Acids & Inflammation\n(01:28:11) Hormone Headache Treatment & Omega-3s\n(01:31:24) Tool: Aura, Photophobia & Offsetting with Red Light\xa0\n(01:44:15) Tool: Tension Headache & Botox Treatment\n(01:49:43) Tool: Alternative Headache Treatments, Peppermint Oil, Menthol\n(02:01:35) Tool: Tension Headaches Treatment & Acupuncture\n(02:05:41) Tool: Migraine & Herbal Treatment, Caffeine Timing\n(02:13:26) Tool: Migraine Treatments & Curcumin (Turmeric)\n(02:18:00) Carolina Reaper Pepper & Thunderclap Headache\n(02:24:21) Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Sponsors, Social Media, Momentous, Neural Network Newsletter\nTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac\nDisclaimer
