The Keto Diet and Migraine: 5 Things You Need to Know

• A Ketogenic Diet Causes the Body to Produce Ketones: Ketones are [acids that are released into the bloodstream] when we start burning fat for fuel, when there is no readily available sugar or glucose from carbohydrates.

• The Keto Diet Has Been Shown to Stop Seizures in Those With Epilepsy: In the early 1900s, researchers found that starvation was an effective way to stop seizures in people with some types of epilepsy, with seizures typically improving after two to three days, according to a history of the ketogenic diet published in Epilepsia.

• Ketones Nourish Cells Differently From Glucose: The causes of migraine are multifactorial, with one potential factor relating to metabolism. If there’s ever a deficit of energy that’s being delivered to the central nervous system, one theory is that it can cause irritation in the nerves and then trigger migraine.

• Studies Link the Keto Diet to Fewer Migraine Attacks: Several small studies or case reports on people who suffer from migraines have described positive results when the subjects followed a ketogenic diet, but the cumulative number of participants has been very low.

• Just Reducing Carbohydrate in the Diet May Be Beneficial: There’s evidence that the metabolic breakdown of carbohydrate is pro-inflammatory, and inflammation is associated with migraine. The standard American diet can cause a lot of metabolic harm to our bodies. Some people need to be on a lower-carb or ketogenic diet to heal from eating an unhealthy diet.
