HeadWise Podcast & Videocast
Lindsay is the host of HeadWise,
the podcast and videocast of
the National Headache Foundation.
About Lindsay
Lindsay was only a preschooler when her chronic/daily migraine began, and she had to develop skills to overcome the pain and other symptoms in all phases of life. She has lived through the frustration and loneliness of being stuck in the vortex of constant head pain.
Lindsay uses her background as a clinical scientist and her history of daily chronic pain to help people build their own personalized rock wall against migraine:
· Half your rocks are medical strategies or medications,
· Half are lifestyle strategies,
· and the MORTAR that holds it all together is your mentality.
Through data-driven, progressive, and up to date educational materials like podcasts, videos, and articles Lindsay brings the latest medical information on migraine and chronic head/facial pain to the public.
She has also developed the MigraineNation Patient Navigator Program to help navigate people to migraine-friendly resources.
Migraine sufferers have forged inside of them a strength that the pain and stigma from the world around us leaves unrecognized.
Lindsay’s goal is to help them harness and direct that strength, giving them the power to decrease their pain and suffering and to thrive.
You can get to a more positive, happy, and productive place.

Super Zoe the Migraine Hero
For kids and adventurous adults!
Zoe is a spunky, awesome kid who happens to have migraine.
When Zoe gets a migraine, she doesn’t know if it will be a SO-SO day or a BUMMER day. When a BUMMER day happens, she has learned that if she does at least one thing that will put her in a better place tomorrow than she is today, it will turn into a SUPER day… a day that she knows she can create.
