Today I took a Continuing Education course on migraines and it really highlighted the benefits of catching migraines early in the prodrome phase. Interoception is what helps you identify the early signs of prodrome so you can use your treatments sooner and minimize the time you spend in pain.

We know that autistic people and those on that spectrum can have difficulty accessing their interoceptive awareness, but it’s important to know that people of *all* brain types can struggle with this. When you’re missing signals from your body, you’re missing opportunities to optimize your health.

“My body hates me when I ___.” We’ve all heard someone say this. For instance, my body hates me when I go cracktastic on sugar. I can always tell I’ve overdone it when my knees hurt going up stairs. Does it mean I never overdo it? Nope! Sometimes it’s worth it. I call it “Informed Consent Eating.”
