Endometriosis is a complex hormonal-dependent disease that can wreak havoc on your fertility. It's typically associated with painful periods, but in some cases, it can spread quietly. The cause of endometriosis is still fairly unknown, which makes finding a concrete way to treat it difficult. What we do know is that hormones (estrogen) can make it spread, and inflammation is a key factor. Laparoscopic surgery is the only known tool to accurately diagnose endo but this procedure can be very invasive and can pose delays in fertility efforts.Since options are lacking on the western medicine side, it makes good sense to explore what alternative methods can offer. Research in the field of eastern medicine has shown that endometriosis, like many other gynecological disorders, responds very well to traditional Chinese medicine and herbs. In a systematic review of 51 randomized control trials, one single blend of herbs (aka. a "formula") was found to lower inflammation, prevent and reverse the spread of endometriosis, heal endo lesions and relieve pain up to 95%. Join us as we discuss all the ways in which TCM and Chinese herbs can make life-changing differences for those dealing with endometriosis. You'll Learn:The definition of Endometirsosis and the difficult road to diagnosisThe reality of western medical treatmentThe shortcomings of hormonal therapy in Western medicine. Research studies that support treatment using TCM and herbsThanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Christine Handy is a mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, international speaker, accomplished model, best-selling author, and a nationally-recognized humanitarian. Starting at age 11, Christine had a talent for modeling and was featured on campaigns for brands such as JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Guess, and more. However, her lifestyle came to a halt at 35 when health issues and complications with surgery affected her career. Less than 10 years later, Christine was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer and struggled with her will to live. Through her 15 months of chemotherapy, she decided that if she was going to get a second chance at life, she was going to do it differently. She started a positive affirmation practice, built her self-esteem on her faith, and discovered who she was outside of the external validation of modeling. She started identifying as a “cancer disrupter” and made it her mission to uplift other people battling life-threatening illnesses. Part of that mission is her volunteer and board work with EBeauty, a wig exchange program that supports people diagnosed with breast cancer and raises awareness about the disease.

Welcome back to week 3 of Something Admired, today I share an in-depth conversation with Parris Hodges who is a Root Cause Protocol practitioner and bridge between spirit and science. We explored our recovery journey parallels and how that opened doors to new discoveries, navigating life's challenges and gifts that brought Parris to the work she now offers the world, the energetics behind the menstrual cycle, and how remineralising our bodies is the key to almost everything. Parris felt like a kindred spirit and as I have been assimilating our conversation I have been personally connecting back into the energetics of my body and how to use food truly as medicine. Do note that we cover topics such as disordered eating and the journey of recovery through a personalised lens. Wherever you are in your own personal journey whether it be food, addiction, or codependency, I hope today's conversation illuminates a few resources that may bring you insights.

Episode summary:In this episode of WE Have Cancer, Allison Rosen joins to talk and discuss the changes that she’s seen in awareness, support, and research of colorectal cancer. Allison also discusses how social media has created a new way to reach younger people, and in turn, there is more research, treatment options, and support resources.  Guest biographyAllison Rosen is a public health care worker in colorectal cancer, outreach, and education prevention. She is project director at University of Texas Health Science Center in Houstin, which was just funded by the CDC for a project that is focused on colorectal cancer prevention.  Table of contents:IntroductionAllison Rosen is back on the podcast after a few years to talk about how much things have changed, within her career and within the focus on young onset, colorectal cancer. Younger people were getting diagnosed and passing away at an alarming rate. There weren't a lot of treatment options, or focus on early screening. Now, with advocates and others amplifying their voices, more research is being done. There is more of a direct advocacy for early onset cancer.  Understanding the Psychosocial EffectsRecalling the time that she was diagnosed with cancer, Allison asked for a psychologist or someone to talk to that was around her own age going through the same thing. She knew that there were going to be hard challenges ahead, but didn’t exactly know what they were. Allison had a lot of personal struggles with body image, and knew that there were people that struggled financially with the disease and treatment.  Support Options and Help Allison talks about how much has changed from when she first got diagnosed to now. At treatment centers, they provide support for the aspects that might be hindered by treatment. From non-profits, to fertility specialists at hospitals, and support for the lasting effects of the treatment.  Different Resources to Bring AwarenessPeople can learn and become aware about colorectal cancer through programs like the Gastrointestinal American Society of Clinical Oncology. They hold virtual meetings for those that want to become an advocate. The power of social media is huge because experts can break things down for people to access whenever, wherever. It’s reaching a new sort of audience.  Changes in DiagnosisThe younger population are getting rectal cancer at a higher rate, which means they need more treatment options and research. With less of a stigma, and more people willing to speak up and talk about it, it’s allowing for more support and awareness. Everyone is now listening - and slowly breaking down the stigma of this type of cancer. The more light that is shed on the topic, the more research.  Importance of Prevention and Early DetectionThe conversation now is based on prevention by leading a healthy lifestyle and trying to detect it early on. There are studies that are trying to find out why it happens, and it’s moved towards a focus on the gut microbiome. There is a science behind it, but it still doesn’t exactly explain why younger people are experiencing it.  Passion For Public Health Field Allison aims to give patients and survivors the opportunity to get involved in treatment, research, and creating support groups. She gets direct feedback from the population that is experiencing it, and tries to represent the collective voice by asking questions in the public health field.  Barriers That Patients FaceA lot of patients and providers are learning more about the disease because people are speaking out and speaking up about their experiences, especially the barriers that they face. Allison’s project that she’s working on is to identify barriers and help patients and survivors solve them.  Links mentioned in the show:https://fightcolorectalcancer.org/about/our-team/research-advocate/allison-rosen/ (Allison Rosen - Fight Colon Cancer)...

This week Lucas Robak was kind enough to talk about his experiences with Multiple Sclerosis, time as a lab rat, and some interesting views (his please don't sue us) on the medical system, charity and research organizations, and medicine in the US.Lucas RobakThe rule everything out diagnosisHypnotherapy for pain management (also concerned for how my kids would use this for non-pain management)The unexpected symptoms and issues with MS or what happens when you have a disorder that affects the ENTIRE bodyTeen experience with chronic illnessSymptoms the create a breakup in the MOST unexpected ways.It's not just women who spend years waiting for a diagnosisThe chronic illness medical carouselLab Rats.

If you would like Luke to speak publicly you can reach him here.FDA (Federal Drug Administration) what has been approved, their practices, and some laws around the FDA again these are opinions. Ideas on how chemicals affect our health. (mice MS and aspartame)BTW this pill could cause suicide (new painkillers with strange side effects)A special Sesame Street Reference (this does not make this episode child-friendly).We discussed the Polio was one of the last diseases cured ( here are a few that have been). If you know of more please feel free to leave comments in the comment section. There have been a few and I will link, but I will say with advances and technology it surprises me with how few. Between nonprofits and organizations, it does beg the question of where the money goes? What is the carrot to find a cure? If there is a cure found does the organization have a dissolution plan? Basically, my rule for everything follow the money and ask good questions. Luke admits that he is HIGHLY controversial but the question he asks I would like to hear from heads of organizations. Please if you run an organization I would love to have you on the show. I have so many questions. If you are curious here is an interesting Snopes article about Komen Research CEO salary.Lobbyists we talk so much about lobbyists. Also, ask how much the CEO of a non-profit makes.Some of the pitfalls of have a capitalist based medical company.Luke does prove that I absolutely interview someone I have VERY opposite views on.Another Spoonie who runs their own businessI'm sorry is selfish, no really he makes an interesting caseHis opening dating line is worth a listenHow and when to talk about your chronic illness in social and work situations.

I screwed up and this is how I'm going to fix it. This formula will make everyone's life so much better.Spoon Theory I will remind you all again that his opinions are his own.
