A Book You Missed (because of “bad timing”)

Timing can be everything – when a medication comes out, when a book is published. And with all that’s going on in the world, it’s been easy to miss some of the news you need to know about.

In April I wrote about a medication – Nurtec – whose timing may have led to many people missing it. Today, it’s a book.

There are two reasons why the timing may have been “off” for this book. First, of course, is the fact that it came out in 2020, and it was taking on migraine – not specifically COVID-19. ‘Nuff said.

But there was another timing issue. This book has the necessary but perhaps unfortunate title “Keto for Migraine“. It sounds like someone was looking for a trendy title back in 2019, trying to capitalize on the trendy keto diet. But that wasn’t the case at all.

So if you missed it because of the timing, or were turned off because of the title, it’s time to give this book another look. Especially if you’ve “already tried keto”. Here’s why.

The author of Keto for Migraine argues that the “typical” keto (or so-called keto) diets and recipes can actually make migraine attacks worse.

And how would he know? Well, the author is someone with migraine himself. He’s also a neurologist, who has worked with many, many migraine patients. He’s Dr. Josh Turknett, author of the very highly rated book The Migraine Miracle.

And here’s where the timing comes in. Dr. Turknett was talking about keto long before keto became trendy. And he was working specifically with migraine patients to find out what worked best for them.

So this book is most certainly for people who have “tried keto”, because this is keto for migraine. (It’s like saying,”I tried eating, and it didn’t work for me”. Ok, but did you try eating a migraine-fighting diet?)

And we can’t ignore the fact that many people have turned to keto in hopes of losing weight. Yes, the book also addresses this facet of keto – how can this way of eating fight migraine and help me maintain a healthy weight?

If you are interested in a holistic plan to fight migraine, check out this book. The full title is: Keto for Migraine: Keys to the Ketogenic Diet for Migraine Sufferers (The Physicians Guide to Holistic Migraine Relief).
