Meghan Markle needed to be hospitalized for her migraines

In a 2015 interview with The Chalkboard, Meghan Markle discussed illness and her favorite healthy living tips. She revealed she suffered from migraines, cited by WebMD as an invisible illness. Meghan says her headaches caused “debilitating” symptoms so bad she needed to be hospitalized.

She revealed, “I have been a longtime believer in acupuncture and cupping. I used to have debilitating migraines (hospitalized for them), and acupuncture and Eastern medicine absolutely changed my life. Migraine-free living is a game changer.”

In the same interview about her illness, Meghan Markle discussed other wellness methods to keep her mind and body healthy. The former actor shared her favorite supplements, breakfast, and mantra.

“Magnesium, B-12 drops, multivitamin, and Cortisol Manager before bed. Sometimes Ashwagandha makes it into the mix, too!” Meghan said of her favorite supplements.

As for breakfast, she says her favorite is “a Clean Cleanse vanilla shake with blueberries or an acai bowl with fresh berries, manuka honey, and bee pollen (that’s my absolute favorite).”

Finally, she admitted her mantra was “I am enough.” She believed “thoughts become things, so it’s important to stay as positive as possible. It’s crazy how it trickles into everything in your life.”
