Should also probably log stool weight/color, mineral/vitamin intake across all foods, etc etc - just to make it even more clear that a person has no time to “just log everything” that could possibly play a role. And at the end, it would probably not explain a majority of the headaches - at least in my experience.

This is my experience too. I know a good number of my migraine triggers, but some days I do everything right: I eat good food (regularly), plenty of sleep, no over-exertion, lots of water, breaks from screen time, no eye strain, etc etc...still get a fucking migraine!

Sometimes there's just not a reason for it.

Yep and that list of things you did correct could go on for pages. It’s similar for how I treat my headaches. I don’t just take a triptan. I do the yoga stretch, maybe a cup of tea (full cup of coffee if I’m in 9/10 zone), some Gatorade, ginger powder, tumeric powder, heat on the traps, TENS unit on the traps/neck/temples, ice, etc and nothing. I’ve even fallen asleep while doing half of those in the crocodile position before. It worked that time, too.
