Instant Genius Podcast: Migraines, with Dr Katy Munro

Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. In this week's episode, we talk to Dr Katy Munro, a GP headache specialist at the National Migraine Centre. She hosts the podcast Heads Up, and is the author of the new book Managing Your Migraine (£9.99, Penguin Life).

Katy tells us all we need to know about migraine headaches, from what’s going on in your body during an attack, to the up-and-coming treatments her patients describe as life-changing.

And if that's not enough, you can hear even more from Katy on Instant Genius Extra.
