Sinus Infections, Migraines, and Myths: What You Really Need to Know with Dr. Jessica Lee (Ep. 43)

Think your “sinus headache” is really from your sinuses? Think again. In this episode of The Med Edit Podcast, we’re joined by board-certified integrative otolaryngologist and lifestyle medicine physician, Dr. Jessica Lee (@entchat), to untangle the truth about sinus headaches, sinus infections, migraines, and allergies.

We cover:

• Why over 80% of sinus infection diagnoses are wrong
• The overlap between allergies, migraines, and infections
• How chronic rhinosinusitis comes in different forms — and why treatment should match the type
• The surprising gut–sinus connection and the role of probiotics
• Why antibiotic overuse is a major problem in ENT care
• Science-backed integrative treatments like acupuncture, red light therapy, and more

If you’ve been battling facial pressure, congestion, or recurring “sinus” pain, this episode could change how you think about your symptoms — and your treatment.
