There's a real bidirectional link between obesity and migraine. Treating one helps the other.
Why obesity worsens migraines
Higher BMI is associated with more frequent and more severe migraines, likely through inflammatory mechanisms.
What GLP-1 might do
Some early observational data suggest reduced migraine frequency with weight loss on GLP-1, especially in patients with chronic migraine and obesity. Larger studies pending.
Coordinate with your neurologist
Migraine medications generally don't interact with GLP-1, but tell your neurologist before starting. Triptans and CGRP inhibitors are safe with GLP-1.
