Got Migraines? I can help!

Evangeline Lindorf

It may be time to rethink everything you've ever learned about how to manage your migraine headaches.

Did you know that 1 out of 5 people will suffer from migraines at some point in their life?  Migraines are one of the most common and most debilitating reasons people miss work, family/social events, and just miss out on life in general.  In fact, chronic migraines are considered a qualified disability under certain circumstances*. If you are tired of suffering in the dark in your room, silently, hoping and praying for the current migraine to go away, please schedule an appointment to see me. 


I have seven years of experience treating people with chronic migraine headaches from my background working in neurology.  I am familiar and comfortable with prescribing medications to treat migraine headaches, and am happy to discuss and educate you on the various options and their pros and cons. I am also well versed in alternative and more natural healing approaches to treating migraines.


Many people take over the counter pain medication (such as ibuprofen, Excedrin, or Tylenol) multiple times a day or week to treat their migraine headaches, but this can often cause rebound headaches, exacerbating the underlying problem.  I can help you get out of the rebound migraine cycle, and if you are on a long wait list to see a specialist, I am happy to get you started on treatments your primary care doctor may not be as familiar with. 


There are several treatment strategies available to best optimize migraine management.  Let me be your guide in helping you have fewer migraine headaches each month.  Aside from medication there are nutrition/dietary protocols, supplements, external nerve stimulation devices, various therapies and other lifestyle management options to try.  Additionally, I recommend using a migraine app to track migraines to help you identify patterns specific to your migraine triggers.  For example, female patients frequently suffer from menstrual migraines.  Some patients have multiple different types of migraines, making things a bit more complicated. This would require an in depth examination and history to properly sort out and treat.


When you schedule a visit with me, you can expect a lot of quality time, so we can get to the root cause of the problem. I look forward to helping you improve so you can get back to living a life full of vitality!

Mold Allergy Versus Mold Illness

By eklindorf • April 11, 2025
Mold Illness vs. Allergies: What’s the Difference? When people think of mold, they often assume it just causes seasonal allergies—sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses. But mold illness goes far beyond typical allergic reactions, affecting multiple systems in the body and often mimicking chronic or autoimmune conditions. Mold Allergies: The Basics Mold allergies are an immune response to mold spores. Symptoms may include: Sneezing Runny or stuffy nose Itchy, watery eyes Cough or post-nasal drip Mild fatigue These symptoms usually flare up in humid environments, basements, or during seasonal changes. They’re often treated with antihistamines or allergy shots. Mold Illness: A Deeper Toxic Load Mold illness, also known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) , is triggered not by an allergic reaction, but by a toxic overload from mycotoxins —dangerous chemicals produced by certain molds . These toxins can accumulate in your body, especially if your detox pathways are compromised. Symptoms may include: Brain fog Chronic fatigue Digestive issues Hormonal imbalances Neurological symptoms like anxiety or depression Joint and muscle pain Key Differences Mold Allergy Mold Illness (CIRS) Involves histamine reaction Involves chronic inflammation Symptoms are seasonal or triggered by exposure Symptoms persist and worsen over time Usually treatable with OTC meds Requires detox, lifestyle changes, and medical treatment What If You Have Both? Some people suffer from both mold allergies and mold illness, making symptoms even more complex. If you’ve been treating allergies with little to no relief, it may be time to explore the possibility of deeper toxicity. If you have both mold allergies and mold illness, you will have to treat both. Remediate all mold out of your environment. Test for the presence of mold in your home and office environments. Remove high mold foods from your diet. What to Do Next If your symptoms go beyond allergy season and don’t improve with standard treatments, it’s time to consider mold testing and a functional approach to healing. At Your Inspired Vitality, we specialize in identifying and treating mold illness holistically. Detoxification strategies (sauna therapy, sweating, supplements, and binders), as well as dietary and environmental changes can help. Testing for the presence of specific mycotoxins is important to do as well and can be done through a simple urine test. Ready to feel better? Book a consultation today and let’s find out what’s really behind your symptoms.
