Fitness guru Dave Sinclair, medical expert Dr. Dennis Holmes and nutritionist and Chef Janet Zappala will offer their in-depth knowledge and insights into the topic of migraines from each of their expert perspectives.

Viewers will also hear the personal story of Meghan, who began suffering from migraines when she was in high school, and after years of searching, found a way to mange her attacks.

“I hope today by sharing my story with all of you I can help a fellow migraine sufferer”.
