Migraine relief

with Jodi Ledley

Jodi Ledley was fighting a life-long battle with migraines and chronic pain to no avail. These were not simple headaches but rather debilitating incidents of excruciating pain that sent her to the ER on many occasions and were simply putting her on the sidelines of life. She spent thousands of dollars with medical professionals but received no resolution until she discovered what was triggering her health concerns: monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG, an excitotoxin, was causing serious neurological disruption for Jodi.

She found relief as she began to remove MSG from her diet, and her family’s health improved, as well. Now, through her book and speaking engagements, Jodi has encouraged thousands to follow in her footsteps. Migraine-sufferers, those with ADD, ADHD, and anxiety can all benefit by eliminating foods from their diet that contain this additive.

In today’s episode, you will learn how to detect MSG in your food–it goes by over 70 different names on food labels–and how to make changes to your diet that will improve your own health and the health of your loved ones.

Notes

In this episode of Wise Traditions, Jodi Ledley joins us to talk about her life-long journey battling migraines and chronic pain, and how she was able to stop them by removing excitotoxins from her diet. Excitotoxins cause nerves to rapid fire and can cause serious neurological disruption. They include monosodium glutamate. MSG, artificial sweeteners, and other food additives and chemicals.

In addition to pain and migraines, people suffering with ADD, ADHD, and anxiety can find relief by eliminating foods that contain excitotoxins. Unfortunately, avoiding MSG isn’t as easy it as it may seem. Almost all processed foods contain it in one form or another, and it can be called by over 70 different names on food labels. The solution? According to Jodi, it’s threefold: prepare your own food, source food from trusted local vendors, and make sure to always read the ingredient labels.
