Podcasts about Endometriosis

Do you suffer with the endo belly? Is it accompanied by bloating, diarrhea, constipation or abdominal cramping? Whilst I'm all about getting to the root cause and find out WHY you're suffering with the endo belly (not to mention, healing the root cause) I also understand the need for short-term symptom relief whilst we're on that journey. Today's podcast episode offers just that. I am sharing the most effective supplement options that help to relieve endo belly flares in the moment. These are the tools and strategies we use in our SIBO training with Dr. Siebecker, but are safe if you don't have SIBO but do suffer with IBS symptoms. You will find all the dose references in the show notes, but remember - as a health coach I cannot prescribe you a treatment protocol, this is education only and the aim is for you to take this information away to discuss your options with your doctor. Full credit to my tutor Dr. Allison Siebecker for teaching and providing us with these strategy relief tools!   Activated Charcoal So first up we're starting with activated charcoal, which is great for:  Diarrhea Abdominal pain (not pelvic pain)  Gas Acid reflux It works by absorbing gases, which reduces pressure in the gut that can lead to cramping and of course, reduces bloating. It's also absorbs fluid, so reduces diarrhea too.  The doses are: Up to 1000mg, every 1-3 hours for diarrhea. Up to 1000mg, every 2-6 hours for bloating/gas/abdominal pain.  Up to 1000mg 30 mins before a meal and one hour after for endo belly ‘trigger' foods. Now what I mean by this, is if you have to eat something that you know is probably going to make you bloat or gassy, or swell you up, but you're a bit stuck for choices, say you're at a family thing or wedding, or you're on holiday, then you could use charcoal. I don't advise you just use it for every meal so you can eat whatever you want, because you'll end up very constipated because it absorbs fluid, but I have found it very helpful on holiday and at weddings. Up to 500mg every 2-3 hours for acid reflux. So, some things to consider when taking charcoal: Do not consume more than 4000mg per day.  It can cause constipation, so reduce the dose if constipation occurs or use with magnesium citrate (which you'll learn about shortly) or stool softeners, and I've listed some natural stool softeners in the handout. If you do use magnesium citrate to avoid any constipation, take it an hour after the charcoal or before bed. Your bowel movements may look dark after charcoal - don't worry, it just stains everything!  Absorbs everything, so take it 30 minutes before meals/supplements/meds and/or one hour after. Some research has showed that in it can cause vomiting if accidentally inhaled, so if you struggle with small airways or swallowing, be cautious with this. I also personally prefer using capsules, as I have tried using the powder stirred in water and have accidentally inhaled it myself one or two times!   Ginger Next up is my absolute favourite, and that's ginger.  Ginger is effective for: Nausea/vomiting Gas Bloating Fullness/food won't go down Abdominal pain  Ginger is a prokinetic, which means it stimulates the MMC and gut motility, so it moves gas down and out of the small intestine. This therefore helps with gas, bloating, pressure, and abdominal pain, and it helps food to go down as well if you're feeling like you're not digesting your food properly. And I've mentioned, it's a great tool for nausea and vomiting.  The doses are: 1000mg an 1-2 hours after meals or at bedtime for nausea/bloating/gas/vomiting/ab. pain.  1000mg 30 mins before meals to aid with appetite if nauseas.   So, some things to consider when taking ginger are: Do not consume more than 2000 mg per day.  It can cause something called ginger burn, which feels like heat or acid reflux is the oesophagus or stomach. If that occurs, take less, stand up and move around so it starts to go down (as ginger burn often happens when lying down or reclining in many of my clients) and sip on lots of water. In people with interstitial cystitis, as it's a spice, it might cause some irritation, but this tends to vary from person to person. Finally, fresh ginger root is usually not as effective as dried ginger root powder, so we're going for a 1000 mg in the form of capsules.   Peppermint Peppermint can be used for: Abdominal pain Bloating General IBS symptoms (there's LOTS of research on peppermint for IBS) Indigestion Pain with bowel movements (which I know many of you suffer with)  Peppermint relaxes the smooth muscle of the intestines, so helps significantly with cramping and abdominal pain, and helps to ease the transition of gas. It's also been shown to be 67% effective for reducing severe IBS symptoms, pretty impressive stuff! So, the doses are: Use peppermint tea/or tincture (follow label dose) for pain or sensations higher up in the abdomen (this is because peppermint generally works locally, so if you feel symptoms around the stomach area, the peppermint tea or tincture will be able to affect that area because it's not sealed up in a pill, whereas the pills are coated and are designed to not be released until they exit the stomach). Label dose of triple coated tablets for mid to lower abdominal symptoms, as needed or daily. Research has shown that pain and symptoms improve significantly with long-term use with peppermint oil. Can also apply peppermint essential oil to abdomen. Follow label instructions as some oils require diluting in a base oil. A quick tip here, is you can use Be You patches, which I share on my podcast, over the abdomen, to ease spasms. You can keep those on for 12 hours and you can wear them daily. So, some things to consider when taking peppermint are: It can cause acid reflux in some people because it relaxes the muscles, it can open up the sphincter connecting the stomach and the oesophagus, so stomach acid can travel up. If this happens to you, try a pill that's triple coated and designed to bypass the stomach. For some people, peppermint can also cause nausea.   Magnesium Magnesium citrate or oxide can be used for:  Constipation These types of magnesium draw water into the colon, helping to create a bowel movement. The dose is:  Up to 2000 mg at bedtime (two hours after food), daily or as needed until you have a bowel movement. However, 1000 mg is normally effective for many, but see what works for you. So, some things to consider when taking magnesium citrate or oxide are: You need to start slowly, beginning at 500 mg and building up until you find the dose that works for you. Generally, increasing your dose slightly each night should be a good pace, but keep in mind it can take a few nights to get to work, so don't be too hasty.   Too much will cause abdominal cramping, bloating and diarrhea. If that occurs, reduce the dose back down until you get to a dose that creates a healthy bowel movement without watery stools or discomfort. Food will reduce the effects, so keep in mind you need to take it two hours away from food. And finally, you have to use either magnesium oxide or citrate, other forms of magnesium are not laxatives and will be absorbed in the body, rather than making their way down into the colon.   Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum PHGG be used for: All IBS symptoms (multiple studies/reviews confirm this) Constipation Improving stool consistency Diarrhea Bloating/gas Increasing beneficial bacteria PHGG is a type of soluble, low FODMAP fibre, which is generally safe and well tolerated by even SIBO patients! It's a longer term symptom management tool, whereas the others bring relief same day, this tends to need about a month to build up to the benefits. It helps to bulk up stools, making it effective for both constipation and diarrhea. So, the dose is: 5-6 g daily, ideally dissolved in hot water on an empty stomach, for at least one month and likely ongoing for maintenance. Some people do put it with tea, coffee, smoothies or even porridge, but many of the labels suggest on an empty stomach.  Increase to full dose across one to two weeks, especially if SIBO positive, so start out lower, with say one gram, and then increase by a gram or half a gram a day.   So, some things to consider when taking partially hydrolysed guar gum are: Ironically, in some people, likely people who have SIBO or extensive gut issues, it might cause bloating. So, give yourself a month or so on it and see how you respond. If it's noticeably bad, reduce back down to a level you can tolerate or discontinue. Generally, it is thought to be SIBO safe, but we're all different and SIBO is so individual, that we can't guarantee it'll be well tolerated by everyone. And alongside that, it may cause some GI distress, so basically an irritation of your IBS symptoms and if you have SIBO and don't respond well to it, it could worsen those. However, as I've mentioned, on the whole, it's well tolerated.   Most Important Takeaway: So, that wraps up this module, and I wanted to also let you know, there are multiple other options to help with symptoms, including more supplements and some at home remedies. I've linked to a handout in this slide by my tutor Dr. Allison Siebecker, which provides all of them. You don't need to use them all, but I would recommend you have a read of it, so you know your options, and I also recommend trying some of the simple home remedies before buying expensive supplements!  But before we do any of that, remember, getting our foundations in place can make a huge difference to gut health - so start off with the first line therapies, before you start spot treating with lots of different supplements.

Kendra is an artist, accountant and multi-passionate entrepreneur who for years struggled with horrible pelvic pain issues. She went to dr after dr, searching for help with not many answers and very little support. Yet even after she finally received a diagnosis of Endometriosis, getting a treatment plan and proper care was becoming an uphill battle. Through this process she learned how advocating for herself not only connected her with the resources that was needed to change the direction of her healing journey, but it also empowered her in so many other ways. So many women each day come to both of us sharing their stories and the pain they go through just getting the right support and medical team in place to help them. It's why this topic for both Kendra and I is so important to continue sharing. So come join us as we openly share both our experiences searching for answers and ways you too can get the support you need.

I first came across Dr. Ami Kapadia's work through some presentations she held for an online SIBO conference. Her lectures focused on small intestine fungal overgrowth, yeast disorders and mould - and what I heard resonated with not only my story, but so many of my clients' stories. And I'm not alone. Dr. Jessica Drummond often speaks on the connection she sees between chronic pelvic pain and yeast problems, and yeast/SIFO are prevalent issues within the SIBO community. In fact, left untreated, they can really hinder SIBO progress. The trouble is, they're not easy to diagnose and the symptoms are often identical to SIBO, and at least a quarter of SIBO patients, if not more, also have SIFO. So, given that research is currently estimating that up to 80% of endometriosis patients also have SIBO, I wanted to invite Dr. Ami onto the show to discuss how to identify and treat years disorders both alongside SIBO and alone. Dr Ami. Kapadia is a family medicine and integrative medicine physician, with a special interest in yeast and fungal disorders. She is the creator of practitioner course A Minimalist's Approach to SIFO And Mold Related Illness and patient course An Integrative Approach to SIFO: Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth And Related Conditions. In this episode we discuss: What are fungal/yeast related disorders and how do they affect the body. The connection between yeast/fungal disorders, endometriosis and SIBO. The signs and symptoms of fungal/yeast related disorders and how to test for them. Dr. Ami's unique treatment approach and her specific anti-fungal protocols. Dietary considerations (it's not what you think!) and what to do if you find food restriction triggering. How to work with Dr. Ami.

Episode 4 - Malaika and Jermaine Small  Sometimes the struggles experienced in marriage aren't necessarily because of something your spouse has done, but because of challenges, outside of your control, that life throws at you. When we get married, we commit to love and stay with someone not knowing what kinds of hardship they may experience -- professionally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. In this episode, Malaika and Jermaine take us through the story of how they met and how they've navigated several hardships, from neither of them having a blueprint of what marriage should be to their journey with infertility.   Real Love Conversations is a special collection of interviews released in conjunction with Renaissance Church's Real Love sermon series. As we talk about how our relationships can thrive according to God's model and direction, we're also taking the opportunity to hear about diverse relationship experiences from some of the people who make up the Renaissance community. It's going to get real!   Mentioned in this episode:   Fibroids - Tumors made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue. They develop in the uterus. It is estimated that 70 to 80 percent of women will develop fibroids in their lifetime — however, not everyone will develop symptoms or require treatment. Fibroids are almost always benign, or noncancerous.   Endometriosis - an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissue lining the pelvis.  Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith

Today's guest experienced her first loss of a blighted ovum that required surgery and then discovered she had fertility issues and began fertility treatments.  She then experienced another miscarriage and had the baby at home.  Tamara Hunter learned from her fertility specialist/reproductive endocrinologist that she had thrombophilia, a blood abnormality, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cyst.  She decided to undergo surgery to strengthen her chances of conceiving with additional fertility treatments.  In this episode, Tamara shares how she perceived her body betraying her, the emotional and physical trauma she experienced, and how her infertility journey led her to become a Perinatal Mental Health therapist.    This episode is for you to listen to if you have fertility challenges and feel like your body betrayed you.   Become a Sisters in Loss Birth Bereavement, and Postpartum Doula Here Living Water Doula Services Book Recommendations and Links Below You can shop my Amazon Store for the Book Recommendations You can follow Sisters in Loss on Social Join our Healing Collective Online Support Group Join the Sisters in Loss Online Community Sisters in Loss TV Youtube Channel Sisters in Loss Instagram Sisters in Loss Facebook Sisters in Loss Twitter You can follow Erica on Social Erica's Website Erica's Instagram Erica's Facebook Erica's Twitter

Today I talk to Melissa Boudreau, endometriosis advocate and the latest podcasting rockstar to join OffScrip Health. It took years of suffering the debilitating effects of endometriosis and a battery of unrelated tests before Melissa would finally get diagnosed with the disease. That's because endometriosis isn't talked about. Despite the fact that one in ten women have it, it takes an average of 7 to 10 years for most women to get diagnosed. Melissa is working to change that. She started the podcast "The Cycle" to get the conversation going and help endo patients share their stories.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode I cover something so many of us understand-the anxiety we feel before we are about to undergo surgery for our endometriosis. Hear stories about my own experiences, how I help clients with their pre-surgery anxiety, journaling prompts for you to try before surgery, and more. *************** Find my digital download "Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Surgery" here!

Wendy discusses how many women underestimate the effects of the world around them and how to establish if your current environment is affecting your physical and emotional health. Several research studies reveal how many aspects of your environment from your home, to work, to relationships can affect your health outcomes; mentally, emotionally, and physically. Equally, if your environment is littered with toxic or attacking people then you may feel unsafe which will bring with it a great deal of stress and anxiety in the body inhibiting the immune system.

Send your questions to questions@vcurb.com where Dr. Hayes will answer your questions in week four.

Do you deal with endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex or period drama? Often we only think about the uterus, or womb, as the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. But various forms of autoimmune, inflammatory, hormone imbalance, and even conditions such as thyroid problems can drive problems in this important organ. Learn about endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex, fibroids and more.   In this episode, we discuss the symptoms, diagnosis and root causes of endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and beyond. Learn how oxidative stress can play a major role and how antioxidants like curcumin and n-acetyl cysteine can play a major role in reducing symptoms. We share our best supplement strategy for endometriosis, discuss how toxicity and microbiome play a role, and of course discuss food-as-medicine recommendations for managing pain and resolving from the root cause.    Also in this episode: Women's Wellness Workshop Become a Client Episode 106: Birth Control Part 1 Episode 107: Birth Control Part 2 Episode 48: PCOS Part 1  Episode 49: PCOS Part 2 Episode 145: Endometriosis and Infertility Episode 121 Keto and Women's Hormones Episode 232: Period Drama and Birth Control updates Anatomy of the Uterus Symptoms of Adenomyosis vs. Endometriosis Diet and Lifestyle Approach The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Endometriosis Supplement StrategyMultiDefense with Iron MultiAvail Mama Thyroid Optimizer Bio-C Plus EPA DHA Extra  Super TurmericCurcumin inhibits endometriosis endometrial cells by reducing estradiol production Women with endometriosis improved their peripheral antioxidant markers after the application of a high antioxidant diet - Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology Cellular AntioxA Promise in the Treatment of Endometriosis: An Observational Cohort Study on Ovarian Endometrioma Reduction by N-Acetylcysteine Vitamin D Balanced Blend25-Hydroxy vitamin D levels in premenopausal Turkish women with uterine leiomyoma Vitamin D Blood Spot Test Calm and ClearStress Exacerbates Endometriosis Manifestations and Inflammatory Parameters in an Animal Model Relax and Regulate Foria CBD Suppositories The Impact of ToxicityEpisode 264: Are There Toxins In Your Cleaning Products?

On this episode Erin & Eleanor talk about: Eleanors work (5:00) "The post" (17:00) Shame and guilt around personal choices (30:00) and so much more Eleanor Jane is a Somatic Embodiment Coach, helping women to heal, expand, and reclaim who they were before the world told them who they should be. Through her own personal journey through Epilepsy, Depression & Anxiety, Endometriosis, and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as her professional work within the mental health and legal industries, Eleanor came to see that most (if not all) dis-ease in the world is due to an inherent disconnection from and dehumanisation of our true ‘Self'. She believes that through doing the work to heal and decondition ourselves we can return home to the core essence of who we are, not only healing ourselves but creating a ripple effect that heals the world around us. Her work takes a mind-body approach, viewing our mind as a crucial piece of the puzzled, but seeing the body as the truest portal to our Highest Self. Her work is trauma-informed, with the highest value being that of personal safety, as without safety, true healing and growth cannot happen. www.instagram.com/eleanorjane.x SOCIAL MEDIA Follow me on Instagram: @erinkyna Watch on Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UClS_69AoVmeXnnMpLulSZAQ The post: https://bit.ly/301voqI Support the Sex and Healing Podcast If the podcast has given you value and you wish to support you can do so using the PayPal link below.

Cheryl sent in a great question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She is 39. Here's what she asked,   "Thank you for your show, Dr. Aimee. I had two IVF cycles, but my egg maturation rate is very low (54%, 10%).    My AHM level is 0.67. My doctor did not find any signs of endometriosis, but some signs of adenomyosis.  I saw there are four potential reasons for low maturation rates: 1) my age; 2) wrong IVF stimulation protocol; 3) endometriosis; 4) reproductive autoimmune failure.  Are there any tests that I can do to figure this out?"

In this episode of Vitality Radio Podcast, Jared rants about how the Italian Higher Institute of Health has reduced Italy's total official COVID death toll number by 97%. This is because of a decision to change the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID, rather than with COVID. This is all the proof you need about the misrepresentations of deaths for the obvious propagandizing of fear. Jared also Interviews Mike Kramarczyk from HPC Formulas to discuss systemic enzymes, a product called Fibrenza, and how supplementing with systemic enzymes can address fibromyalgia, fibroids, endometriosis, systemic inflammation and more. How you might ask? Systemic enzymes go after proteins that don't belong in our body. They discuss what the differences are between systemic enzymes and digestive enzymes and so much more. This episode is PACKED with information. Call Vitality Nutrition to learn more about how Fibrenza may be a very useful supplement in your daily supplementation.You can follow us at @vitalityradio on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Have you heard of the term hydrosalpinx? Hydrosalpinx is the blockage of a woman's fallopian tube caused by a fluid buildup and dilation of the tube at its end. Most often it occurs at the fimbrial end of the tube next to the ovary, but it can also occur at the other end of the tube that attaches to the uterus. Today's guest was diagnosed with infertility after trying to conceive for a year.  She underwent surgery for hydrosalpinx and possible endometriosis which resulted in removal of both her fallopian tubes due to damage caused by endometriosis.  Sherelle Gilbert was faced with IVF being her only option for conceiving.  She went through her first round of IVF that resulted in one normal PGS tested embryo.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic cancellations delayed the transfer of her embryo.  Sherelle had a successful transfer and was excited, until she experienced a miscarriage at 7 weeks.  In this episode, Sherelle takes us back on her journey through endometriosis, IVF and the costs, and her preparing for another round of IVF in hopes of bringing home her miracle. This episode is for you to listen to if you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, experienced IVF loss, or have had blocked fallopian tubes.

Today we are sharing our interview with Catherine Lee and Lauren Lee-Crane - twin sisters, entrepreneurs and endometriosis warriors! Cath + Lar started Semaine Health to address period pain with plant-based, science-backed supplements. They are driven by the desire to empower other women who have experienced pain and discomfort, looking for answers rather than being dismissed or told their symptoms are "normal." With Cath's background in economic development and Lar's in art direction and graphic design, they never thought they would be entrepreneurs, but they always knew they would work together someday. They currently live in Atlanta and work together every day at the Semaine headquarters with Lar's husband, Matt, and their rescue dog, Toby. Follow them at @semainehealth and @asiancajuns. During this episode you'll hear about Cath + Lar's upbringing, as well as how they found out they had endometriosis, the long + arduous process of getting diagnosed for endometriosis…and how they came to found Semaine health, which now includes 2 star products that help with PMS and period support.

Millions of people around the world live with the severe pain of this condition. But most of them wait years for an actual diagnosis. MIT researcher Dr. Linda Griffith tells us why that happens, and the toll that endometriosis takes on those who live with it -- including herself.      WebMD does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode, we feature Dr. Jessica Drummond, as a part of our New Models series. You'll learn what a big deal endometriosis is, and to what degree it acts like many other chronic illnesses that you're probably treating in your practices.

Okay today I want to now talk about something a little more unusual, and that's Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and its possible connection to endometriosis.  Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of 13 conditions which all affect connective tissue (collagen) in the body. Most are rare, but one type called hypermobility EDS is common.  Because the intestines are made from soft tissue, EDS affects digestion and often causes IBS symptoms. It is a major risk factor for developing SIBO, because it slows down motility. If you have EDS and SIBO, you will be chronic - but you can still live well! And we'll get to that in the bonus lesson with Dr Allison Siebecker.  And just to hammer this point home about the connection between EDS and IBS, one study of 228 IBS patients found 48% also had EDS. Now the reason why I want to bring EDS to your attention is because I am seeing it more and more in my clients with both endometriosis and SIBO. Despite these statistics, to my knowledge, most experts do not consider EDS and endometriosis to be significantly connected. At present, it is thought that most of the period pain and menstrual problems of those with EDS is not caused by endometriosis, but EDS itself.  However, I have spoken to multiple health care practitioners who do see a connection and see the two conditions together in patients, and because EDS can cause gut problems and SIBO, I think it's worth raising here.   So, here's an overview of what we know so far…  Current estimation is 6-23% of patients with EDS also have endometriosis. More research is being done into the connection at present. 32-77% of those with EDS have vulvodynia and or pain with sex. 33-75% have heavy menstrual bleeding.  73-93% have painful periods. And here are some of the main symptoms of EDS, though there are many and they are often far reaching. You do` not have to have them all to have EDS: ·Joint pain/full body pain Hypermobility (can be very subtle) Stretchy skin Soft, velvety skin Bruise easily Dislocations of joints Chronic fatigue Dental crowding  And I wanted to include some signs or clues of EDS as well… Unusual symptoms that seem random, so people with EDS often feel like they have lots of symptoms and never really feel well. Family has hypermobility - again, this can be very subtle. They might have no idea. Tight muscles and stiffness - because your joints are unstable, the muscles overcompensate and are often stiff and tight to try and create some stability in the body. Allergies - and this is because MCAS is now being identified as a co-condition of EDS. MCAS is when the mast cells which release histamine are overly sensitive and easily triggered, resulting in a higher amount of histamine being released on a daily basis. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome still isn't widely acknowledged by conventional medicine, but many functional and naturopathic doctors are leading the way with this. MCAS is now showing up in the research as being a likely co-condition of EDS, as part of a trio with another condition call PoTS, which stands for Postural Tachycardia syndrome. Low blood pressure and/or dizziness - because EDS often comes with something called dysautonomia Racing heart or palpitations - due to a type of dysautonomia which I mentioned earlier, called PoTs IBS - because of how EDS affects the gut So, following on from that, I just wanted to provide a bit more education around dysautonomia in case you have the signs.  Dysautonomia is a group of conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system, which control involuntary functions of the body.  Postural Tachycardia syndrome or PoTs is one of these conditions and is part of a trio of EDS-MCAS-PoTs I mentioned earlier, and it affects blood flow and blood pressure in the body, so that too little blood is getting to the heart and the heart rate increases when going from sitting/lying down to standing. Some of the symptoms of dysautonomia are…  Blood sugar dysregulation Low blood pressure/fainting Chest pain/breathing issues/palpitations/racing heart Gut problems and bladder problems Dizziness/balance difficulties/vertigo Struggle to regulate temperature  I'll take you through some ways to get tested in the next lesson. Now I know this might sound scary, but if you do get a diagnosis, you can manage these symptoms long-term, and your quality of life will dramatically improve! And just because I found this personally quite helpful, because there's a lot of symptoms floating around with this, EDS specialist Dr Alena Guggenehim sees loose joints, joint pain and dysautonomia as the main signs/symptoms of hEDS. Diagnosis for EDS is best done through a rheumatologist, but reportedly this is more frequently being performed by GPs these days. If you can't get a referral on the NHS (if you're based in the UK), then I think the best route would be to buy health insurance and get referred to an EDS specialist. I think that would be safest, because not all GPs are fully versed in diagnosing EDS. For hypermobility EDS, diagnosis is based on a physical test called Beighton score, which looks at the range of mobility in your joints, as well as issues like teeth overcrowding. Family and patient history should also be taken into account, and signs of co-conditions, like allergies and dizziness. It's worth noting here that you can still have hEDS if you don't score highly on the Beighton score. There is a link to it in the slides, but it does have some confusing terminology and is not to be used as a tool for diagnosis without a doctor. Genetic testing will also be carried out to rule out the rarer forms of EDS. PoTs is tested for by testing heart rate and blood pressure when going from sitting to standing and lying down (on a tilted table) to upright. You'll need to speak to your GP to get a referral. If you test positive for EDS and you have signs of dysautonmia, even if it's just fatigue, it's worth looking into this.  Other tests may be run to look for other types of dysautonomia   Listen and subscribe on your favourite player or listen directly/download MP3 here or just listen below!

This episode is from a mini IG Live answering your questions about painful sex with endo (which turned out not to be mini, more like 40 mins). Here's the three most common questions I answered: Is there anything that will make sex with endo eventually not painful/how do I fix it? I've tried everything but still get pain, is surgery the next option? How to navigate painful sex without killing the mood? In this IG Live I talk about inflammation, adhesions, having a hypertonic pelvic floor, pain science and share lots of tools, resources and books to help you on your way to having less pain (hopefully pain free) sex.

Getting diagnosed with PCOS and/or Endometriosis can feel like a life sentence for some.  I've seen two kinds of camps.  One where women have been having issues with their cycle or periods and getting diagnosed and feeling like it was a really deflating, non solution answer and others who really struggle with the debilitating symptoms of either condition with repetitive surgery and medications. There are of course many band-aid approaches, like the pill and lots of dietary recommendations like quitting sugar, dairy, gluten etc, (and I say bandaid because as soon as you take off said bandaid, the wound opens up again),  but what is the cause of these hormonal issues and how do we really overcome them so we can have beautiful, healthy reproductive systems and hormones?  Jessica Ash is a Clinical Nutritionist, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and Holistic Health Coach and her course “Fully Nourished” has helped thousands of women overcome hormonal issues like PCOS, Endometriosis, rebalance their hormones after coming off birth control as well as solve underlying thyroid and hormonal issues.  All with Food!   In this episode we talk about: PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome vs Cystic Ovaries How PCOS is diagnosed  Genetics vs imprinting  Adrenaline and Cortisol Giving up dairy and sugar Carbohydrates  High blood sugar Low blood sugar Metformin The contraceptive pill as a solution Metabolic Syndrome Mitochondrial Dysfunction Focusing on weight loss  Anaemia Iron Overload Mineral Deficiencies Oestrogen Dominance  Oestrogen as an anti-inflammatory When Endometriosis returns after surgery Progesterone How metabolism is the foundation of healthy hormones The problem with bloods and pathology Liver health and detoxification See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you've joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project. I decided to do something a little different than our regular Monday episodes. I encouraged you to ask me your questions on estrogen and you all came through with some great queries. The questions allowed me to go over many of the myths and worries involved with estrogen. I discuss why estrogen is vilified when we discuss hormones and how the hormone fluctuates through your life. I answer many questions on varying levels of estrogen and its effect on your body as well as how you should interpret test results for the hormone. I am also releasing my 7-day detox program for FREE so you can move towards feeling better soon by following the program: https://jennpike.com/freedetox If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to hello@jennpike.com or via Instagram at @jennpike and I'll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.  Here are the main topics of today's episode: The reason why estrogen is vilified Estrogen fluctuations with age What do you think comes first: estrogen dominance or Endometriosis? Are fibrocystic breasts only a result of excess estrogen? How low is low for estrogen levels? What do I recommend taking for high estrogen? Do phytoestrogens influence the Dutch test results? What are the top 5 ways to get rid of extra estrogen? Is estrogen safe post-lumpectomy with proper monitoring? Can milk physil increase estrogen? Is it still meaningful to take broccoli sprouts? Are blood tests for hormones still worthwhile? How to test phase three of estrogen detox? How does estrogen play into night sweats around the time of your period? Is there any evidence that daily raw carrots will help clear estrogen? Can soy protein affect estrogen and can that affect libido? Is a terrible luteal phase feeling better after ovulation an estrogen problem? Do soy and flax seeds increase estrogen? How is estrogen made in the ovaries? Does high estrogen cause menstrual cramps?    Connect with us - Thank you for joining us today.

This is really what we're talking about where adrenal health can actually suppress the signal, which then can result in less progesterone and more estrogen, relatively speaking.” “A perception from women is that you're not trying to have the hormones that you had in your twenties and thirties when you're in your late forties, fifties, and sixties” “Stop drinking alcohol. Don't shoot the messenger! But the alcohol will seriously mess with your excess estrogen.”

Nidda recently sent a question in to The Egg Whisperer. She is 32, and has endometriosis and has had recurrent miscarriage. Here's what she asks, "I'm going to read what she shared. Hi, I have endometriosis and recurrent miscarriages. I've had five. My endometriosis was diagnosed in 2017 with an open surgery. I tried naturally for one year. Both tubes were shown open, but no pregnancy. I started IVF in 2018, six embryos, one day three transfer, and the rest day five blasts were frozen. I got pregnant four times. The heartbeat was seen in two of them. And my second IVF in 2021 with one, two day frozen transfer and one, three day frozen. I became pregnant for the fifth time, but miscarried pathology data for our last pregnancy showed normal fetus no data from the placenta normal sperm analysis, DNA frag laparoscopy in 2020 endo removed uterus hysteroscopy done in normal. I've tried prednisone your lipids heparin on my last pregnancy. And PGT is just not an option due to regular, recurrent miscarriage. Blood tests and chromosomal issues in both me and the sperm provider were tested and normal. We have one frozen embryo left. What options do we have?"

In today's episode Abby bravely shares her journey with infertility. Abby was diagnosed with endometriosis at 17 but it wasn't until she was in her early thirties that she started actively trying to fall pregnant. Her egg count and quality was excellent but her endometriosis posed significant complications. Abby takes us through the physical and emotional pain of her journey, the comfort in talking to other women on the same path and the light that came with her very last embryo, baby Remielle.
