Todd Chrisley has never been one to suffer quietly. Whether he’s dispensing tough-love parenting advice, defending his impeccable fashion sense, or shutting down critics with razor-sharp wit,

the Chrisley Knows Best patriarch has built an entire brand around confidence, control, and unapologetic self-assurance. So when Todd recently teased a “secret cure” for headaches,

fans expected something dramatic, unconventional—and unmistakably Chrisley. What they got was a mix of Southern sarcasm, family folklore, and a mindset so uniquely Todd that it instantly set social media buzzing.

The revelation began, as many Chrisley moments do, on social media. Todd took to Instagram to share what he described as a headache remedy passed down through his family. But those expecting a wellness hack, herbal supplement, or luxury spa secret were quickly reminded that the Chrisleys don’t do anything the ordinary way. Instead, Todd credited his grandmother with the ultimate cure—one delivered with biting humor and zero filter.

According to Todd, he once asked his grandmother what was good for headaches. Her response? “Staying away from the MF who gave it to you.”

It was classic Chrisley humor—sharp, blunt, and undeniably memorable. Fans immediately recognized the source of the sass: Nanny Faye. Long hailed as the queen of sarcasm and a breakout star in her own right, Nanny Faye has built a legacy on saying exactly what everyone else is thinking. Whether she’s gambling on horses, placing bets on crabs during a family trip to Florida, or roasting her own children and grandchildren, her fearless honesty has made her a fan favorite.

Todd’s post didn’t specify whether the quote came from Nanny Faye herself or another grandmother, but viewers hardly needed clarification. The attitude, the delivery, the unapologetic bluntness—it all screamed Nanny Faye energy. And fans loved it.

“A grandma beats Tylenol any day of the week,” Todd captioned the post. “Believe that.”

The comment section quickly filled with laughter, agreement, and personal anecdotes. One fan wrote, “I can totally picture Nanny Faye saying this.” Another shared her own grandmother’s remedy: “If I told my grandma I had a headache, she’d ask if I pooped today.” A third summed it up perfectly: “Grandmas never told lies.”

While the joke landed effortlessly, the post also revealed something deeper about Todd Chrisley—his relationship with stress, control, and discomfort. Those close to the family say Todd’s headaches aren’t the quiet, lie-down-and-rest variety. They’re the kind fueled by tension, frustration, and what Todd himself has often described as “dealing with foolishness.”

In Todd’s world, stress is physical. It manifests when people test his patience, question his integrity, or disrupt the order he works so hard to maintain. And headaches, he insists, are not a sign of weakness—they’re a warning that the universe is pushing its luck.

What surprises fans most is that Todd’s so-called cure has nothing to do with medication. No pills, no quick fixes. Instead, Todd reportedly relies on routine, discipline, and what he unapologetically calls mental dominance over discomfort.

According to Todd, headaches thrive on chaos—and chaos is his sworn enemy.

Rather than retreating into bed and surrendering the day, Todd believes in maintaining control. That doesn’t mean powering through recklessly, but it does mean refusing to let pain dictate his schedule. “If I stopped my life every time my head hurt,” he’s joked in the past, “I’d never get anything done—and that simply won’t do.”

One of the most talked-about elements of Todd’s method is silence. Not sleep. Not darkness. Silence.

But not just any silence.

Todd’s version involves a carefully curated environment: low lighting, no television noise, no background chatter, and absolutely no unnecessary conversation. Family members have learned to recognize the signs—a squint, a sigh, a certain look—and respond accordingly. When Todd’s head starts pounding, the household shifts into what insiders jokingly call “Chrisley lockdown.”

Julie Chrisley, ever the calm organizer, reportedly knows exactly how to set the scene. Lights dimmed. Kitchen quiet. No sudden movements. Savannah has hinted that her father’s intolerance for noise during these moments borders on theatrical, but she also admits it works—for him.

Beyond silence, Todd swears by what he calls “reset rituals.” These include sitting upright instead of lying down, sipping room-temperature water (never ice cold), and slow, deliberate breathing. He also mentally lists tasks he’s already conquered—a confidence exercise designed to remind himself that pain is temporary, but discipline is forever.

It’s a philosophy that feels entirely on-brand. Todd doesn’t just endure discomfort; he reframes it. To him, headaches are something to be managed, not indulged. A challenge to overcome, not a reason to retreat.

There’s also an unexpectedly reflective layer to Todd’s approach. While he’d never call it vulnerability, he has acknowledged that headaches often arrive when he’s holding onto frustration. His solution? Letting go—on his terms. Whether it’s releasing irritation over a perceived slight or mentally shelving an argument, Todd treats headaches as signals to regain emotional control.

Fans, unsurprisingly, have strong opinions.

Some admire the discipline and self-command. Others laugh at the idea that sheer willpower and silence could intimidate pain into submission. But nearly everyone agrees on one thing: this is the most Todd Chrisley cure imaginable.

Social media reactions ranged from amused to oddly inspired. “Of course Todd doesn’t take medicine,” one fan joked. “He just scares the headache away.” Another added, “I shouldn’t agree with this, but somehow I do.”

Is Todd Chrisley’s secret cure medically proven? Not even close. But as a reflection of his personality, it’s spot-on. Todd doesn’t believe in surrendering to pain. He believes in managing it, reshaping it, and reminding it who’s in charge.

In the Chrisley household, even headaches know their place. And whether fans see his method as empowering or exhausting, one thing is undeniable—when Todd Chrisley shares a cure, it’s never just about the headache. It’s about control, confidence, and doing things the Chrisley way.
