Celebrating the holidays with migraine is not all fun and games. Triggers, also known as party poopers, can be extra grinchy from overeating at Thanksgiving to staying up too late on New Year’s Eve.

Marsha Scarbrough worked in Hollywood for 20 years as an Assistant Director on major feature films and prime-time television shows.

🎄 All We Need for Christmas is… HEALTH 🎄Without health, we have nothing. But with it? We can work on our happiness, finances, relationships, and growth. Health is the cornerstone of self-empowerment.
