Brandy's Musings
It's like my brain KNOWS. I have two migraines last week, followed by a sinus headache. As if I wanted to be extra prepared for the whole let's talk about head pain... But this book is MUCH MORE. It's about what we do--and don't--know about the brain! I can't wait to share this with you. I reviewed the book for the WSJ and really loved it, plus Tom is a treat! This Thursday at 7:00PM EST
PS: the mocktail for this show has some headache fighting properties!
AND NOW: for a show that will have you rethinking the pain in the head.
Show Deets: The Headache
What if one of the world's most common neurological disorders was also one of its least understood? Migraines. Cluster headaches. Disorders so devastating they can completely derail a life—yet they're often dismissed as 'just a headache.' In The Headache, science journalist Tom Zeller explores why medicine still has so few answers—and what new discoveries are beginning to reveal. Drawing from his own decades-long battle with cluster headaches, Zeller travels from cutting-edge clinics to clinical trials—and even explores experimental treatments—in search of relief. Join Peculiar Book Club for a fascinating conversation about pain, neuroscience, resilience, and why this hidden illness deserves to be taken seriously. LINK BELOW:
