Episode 2 - LGBTQ Folks & Migraine featuring Joe Coe

In celebration of Pride Month, we're excited to share a special episode of the More Good Days podcast featuring Joe Coe, host of Talking Head Pain and representative of the Global Healthy Living Foundation. Join hosts Izac and Nada as they delve into the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to migraine.

Studies have shown that individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual are 83% more likely to experience migraine compared to their heterosexual counterparts. This episode explores potential factors contributing to this disparity, including the impact of childhood trauma and the stressors associated with being part of a marginalized group.

Joe shares his personal journey with migraine and offers valuable advice for LGBTQ+ individuals dealing with this neurological condition. He emphasizes the importance of being proactive in seeking medical care, finding supportive communities, and advocating for oneself in healthcare settings.

The conversation also covers recent research updates, including a meta-analysis highlighting the increased disability reported by migraine sufferers in recent years, and policy news related to LGBTQ+ health, such as the successful implementation of DoxyPep in San Francisco to reduce STI rates.

Don't miss this insightful and empowering episode of More Good Days. Tune in now and join the discussion on migraine in the LGBTQ+ community.
