Are you ready to stop missing out on your kids’ birthday parties, sports activities, family time, social events, work opportunities, and education due to debilitating migraines?
Ready to end the interference of migraines in your relationships, job, function, and overall quality of life?
It’s time to reclaim control so your plans no longer revolve around the fear of the next migraine attack.
End the guilt – migraine is NOT “just a headache” and NOT your fault. It’s a real neuro-biological disease.
Stop living in a dark, quiet bedroom, fearing attacks. Emerge into better migraine control today.
I’m Dr. Eric P. Baron, a board-certified neurologist and UCNS-certified headache specialist with years of experience treating complex migraine cases. I’m also the creator of the popular Virtual Headache Specialist website and blog.
I’ve distilled my expertise into this proven 5-Pillar System – an easy-to-follow online masterclass with short, power-packed video lessons totaling nearly 3.5 hours. You can go at your own pace, and all information is recorded and discussed in layman’s terms, making complex discussions easy to understand.
Migraine Mastery: The 5 Pillars of Migraine Control guides you (and empowers discussions with your doctor) toward effective, personalized strategies used by headache specialists. It will put you in control of your migraine management (and will likely give you a deeper understanding of migraine management than many doctors have).
What You’ll Learn in This Migraine Masterclass
Gain crucial knowledge to personalize your migraine management:
✅ Understanding Migraine: What happens in the brain during an attack? Specific symptoms that distinguish migraine from other headaches. How common it is, who it affects, and why it’s a neuro-biological disease (not your fault).
✅ Misdiagnosed Pains: How migraine can refer pain mimicking “sinus headache,” TMJ, neck/spine issues – and how to identify the true source.
✅ Diagnostic Testing: Which brain scans, labs, and tests to discuss with your doctor.
✅ Migraine Stages: The 4 distinct phases of an attack, optimal timing for treatment, and stage-specific strategies for maximum effectiveness.
✅ Rebound Headache (Medication Overuse): Causes, risky medications/frequencies, detox process, and expected improvement timeline.
✅ Triggers & Tracking: Common triggers (foods/additives, barometric pressure, hormonal changes, and many overlooked ones). Effective tracking methods.
✅ Lifestyle Optimization (Headache Hygiene): Sleep, diet, hydration, exercise, stress management, workplace accommodations, migraine glasses, meal timing, environmental factors, and more to reduce frequency.
✅ Preventive Treatments: When to consider them. Overview of traditional options, newer CGRP monoclonal antibodies, gepants, pills, non-pills, neuromodulation devices, Botox, natural supplements/vitamins, and multi-benefit choices that treat comorbidities while limiting medications.
✅ Personalizing Preventives: How to select options best suited to your personal patterns, symptoms, and history. Expectations: onset time, duration of use.
✅ Special Considerations: Migraine in pregnancy/breastfeeding, menstrual migraine, birth control/estrogen risks (including stroke risk with estrogen and migraine aura).
✅ Acute (Abortive) Treatments: Older and newer options (triptans, DHE, gepants, ditans, devices, natural strategies). Personalization based on personal attack characteristics, safe use with comorbidities (e.g., vascular/cardiac risks).
✅ Episodic vs. Chronic Migraine: Implications, prevention of progression, reversal strategies.
✅ Realistic Expectations: With and without treatment.
✅ Plus Many More Topics from years of complex migraine case experience!
Unfortunately, most doctors aren’t experienced in migraine management – there are only ~700 certified headache specialists in the US. Access often involves long waits (6+ months) or travel. This masterclass bridges that gap with direct guidance from an experienced headache specialist.
Reclaim Your Life Now – Unmatched Value
✅ Nearly 3.5 hours of concise, specialist-led videos organized into the proven 5-Pillar System.
✅ Everything boiled down: what to know, do, and discuss with your doctor.
✅ Personalized approaches – migraine isn’t one-size-fits-all.
✅ Access to the private Migraine Mastery Community chat group – ask migraine-related questions (general education, not medical advice) answered by myself and other members.
From my many years of experience, patients using these 5 pillars report regaining control, making plans without fear, and reclaiming presence in family/work life.
Many have told me things such as:
“I wish I’d learned this years ago”.
“I’ve learned more than I ever did with seeing many doctors combined over the years”.
Real stories:
A 70-year-old man transformed his life with one simple change discussed in the 5 Pillars.
Mothers tearfully thank me for being able to return to attending their children’s school activities.
These successes drove me to make this expertise widely accessible online.

Dr. Eric Baron Reviews
I use these same 5 pillars of migraine management strategy for all patients that I see in regular clinic. Here are a few of those reviews from the care I provide in my regular migraine practice. These reviews below are not direct reviews from this 5 Pillars of Migraine Management masterclass. However, all management strategies that I use in clinic have been infused into this migraine management masterclass to teach you the same strategies and education to reclaim control over your migraines!
-Dr. Baron is obviously intelligent, but able to present medical information in layman terms so it was easy to understand WITHOUT feeling like I was being patronized! His patience and willingness to answer all of my questions without my feeling like I was being rushed was a rare experience! Dr. Baron talked with my son and I, not TO or AT us! It felt more as though he were a family member taking the best care of me possible rather than a complete stranger that I was only familiar with via the internet. He demonstrated not only empathy but also compassion and understanding for the severe pain I suffer with cluster headaches rather than the usual, “Um-hum.” I must say I walked away feeling a new sense of hope for myself and my condition…it was well worth the 1200 mile trek! I think I’m gonna get my life back!!!
-Outstanding experience. Dr. Baron spent a lot of time with me to understand my long, complicated history, and was sure to come up with a very detailed plan (he has a backup too). He was prepared before coming in the room and listened to everything I had to say/ my responses to his questions. I have seen MANY doctors for my headache problems, Dr. Baron was most impressive. Thank you!
-Dr. Baron is an amazing doctor. He was kind and respectful and truly cared about my current and existing concerns. He was confident in the diagnosis and set up a very clear action plan to take away my pain. He is a doctor to model after when having very poignant, detailed conversations. I have already recommended him to multiple people. And wish all docs show the concern and compassion that he does.
-I love Dr. Baron so much he is a true gem. Tell him thank you for saving me.
-Dr. Baron is one of the best doctors I have had in years. I never feel rushed. He listens and explains things so that I can understand.

-The visit was excellent. The time spent with me was overwhelming. Plus, the complete attention and caring of the Physician made me feel at ease. I felt that it was a total success for me. It gave me hope that my medical issues were completely met and fully understood. It was amazing that so much could be accomplished over Telemedicine! Thank you for help during a time when a personal visit was not possible.
-Very, very good. I’m so satisfied. Pleased and how lucky am I to have Dr Baron. I really am because I suffer migraines my entire life so I need him. There isn’t a Dr. in my area that specializes in this. Thank you Dr. Baron for what you do.
