At EASTSIDE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER in Kirkland, WA, we treat migraines not just as painful episodes—but as complex neurological events with underlying root causes. Dr. Frank Marinkovich, M.D., uses a functional and integrative approach to help patients understand their triggers, find relief, and reduce recurrence over time.
Migraines involve changes in brain activity, blood flow, and nerve signaling
Often influenced by genetics, hormonal shifts, and neurotransmitter imbalances
Inflammation, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies can all contribute
Why it matters: Identifying the underlying cause is key to long-term relief—not just short-term symptom management.
Food Sensitivities – Aged cheese, alcohol, MSG, chocolate, caffeine
Sleep Disruptions – Too little or too much sleep
Hormonal Fluctuations – Especially in women (menstrual cycle, perimenopause)
Stress & Tension – Physical or emotional stressors
Environmental Factors – Bright lights, noise, strong smells, weather changes
Why it matters: Tracking and avoiding personal triggers can drastically reduce attack frequency.
Functional Labs – To assess inflammation, hormones, and nutrient status
Targeted Supplements – Magnesium, B-complex, CoQ10, and more
Lifestyle Medicine – Sleep optimization, hydration, food tracking, stress reduction
Neurofeedback – Helps retrain brainwave patterns to reduce migraine frequency and intensity
Peptide Therapy – For nervous system repair and inflammation control
Why it matters: Our multi-layered approach targets both symptom relief and root-cause healing.
