Charmaine welcomes Dr. Dawn Marcus to the show today.

Dawn Marcus is a neurologist and professor at the University of Pittsburgh, where she has focused her career on migraines and holistic chronic pain management. Dr. Marcus has written 14 books, including 10 Simple Solutions to Migraine, for which she won the 2007 Excellence in Media Award from the National Headache Foundation. She has recently coauthored The Woman's Migraine Toolkit: Managing Your Headaches From Puberty to Menopause and The Woman's Fibromyalgia Toolkit. Dr. Marcus enjoys visiting patients under the watchful eye of two furry helpers, her therapy dog wheaten terriers.
