Podcasts about Endometriosis

Today, we are bringing you a live episode recorded in Sydney that celebrates the strength, resilience and brilliance of women everywhere. This conversation is our tribute to that journey and a vital call to action to finally close the gender pain gap. Why are women consistently told that pain is "part and parcel" of the female experience? Following our chat with Kate Walsh, her and Claire are joined on the sofa for a panel discussion with four leading experts; PROFESSOR CAROLINE GARGETT: A world-leading reproductive and stem cell science researcher and Group Head of Endometrial Stem Cell Biology Laboratory with 28 years research experience in gynaecological research with a focus on endometriosis and developing a cell based therapy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse. THEA BAKER: Thea has treated women with complex trauma and co-morbid pain conditions as a Psychotherapist in Australia for over 10 years. She also has her own lived experience of chronic pain herself from endometriosis and osteoarthritis A/ PROFESSOR SUSAN EVANS: A specialist, researcher, educator, innovator, advocate and CEO in pelvic pain for over 20 years. As a gynaecologist, laparoscopic surgeon and pain physician, A/Prof Susan Evans Co-founded the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia, co-developed the Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Schools Program, and is now working with Alyra Biotech developing innovative new treatments for pelvic pain. PROFESSOR MARIA FIATARONE SINGH: A geriatrician whose research, clinical, and teaching career has focused on the integration of medicine, exercise physiology, and nutrition as a means to improve health status and quality of life across the lifespan. (Physical & Metabolic Longevity) We dive deep into why women’s symptoms are still frequently dismissed as psychological, the revolutionary potential of menstrual fluid in diagnostics and why "looking normal" on a scan doesn't mean the pain isn't real. From the first period to the complexities of ageing, our experts provide a roadmap for women to reclaim their health and advocate for their own bodies. We explore the "Pain Scale Paradox", revealing why the traditional 1-10 measurement fails those with chronic conditions, while unpacking the biological "amplifier" that predisposes women to persistent pain. It’s time to strip away the historical stigma of "hysteria" and replace it with a medical system that finally validates the female experience!

If you have Endometriosis, you've probably heard that reducing inflammation is key — but what does that actually look like in real life? In this episode, I walk you through some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients, including turmeric, ginger, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and polyphenols — and, importantly, how to get more of them into your everyday meals without overwhelm or restriction. You'll learn how these nutrients help calm inflammatory pathways, support immune balance, and reduce oxidative stress — all of which play a role in managing Endometriosis symptoms.  For a deeper dive into specific nutrients, you may also want to listen to: • Episode 144: Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s – Fats That Fight Inflammation • Episode 131: Magnesium & Endometriosis – The Mineral Your Body's Probably Craving 

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to bringing attention to a condition that affects an estimated 1 in 10 women worldwide, yet still takes many years for most women to receive a proper diagnosis. Endometriosis can be debilitating—causing chronic pain, hormonal disruption, inflammation, fertility challenges, and a significant impact on quality of life. Unfortunately, many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or offered limited treatment options before they ever receive answers. In this episode, I'm joined by holistic health coach and endometriosis nutritionist Khush Sra. Khush not only works with women suffering from endometriosis, she has lived with it herself. After being diagnosed nearly 20 years ago, she spent years navigating worsening symptoms, surgeries, medications, and the emotional toll of an often misunderstood disease. In my practice, I've found that the most effective approach to endometriosis is multifaceted. Many surgeons are excellent at removing endometrial tissue, but long-term prevention and symptom management often extend beyond surgery and hormonal suppression. This is where practitioners like Khush play an important role—helping women address inflammation, metabolic health, nutrition, and lifestyle factors that can support long-term healing. In this conversation, Khush shares her journey from years of declining health with severe endometriosis to becoming completely symptom-free, along with the strategies she now uses to help other women navigate their own healing process. We also discuss why personalized care matters, the importance of building the right health team, and how women can start advocating for themselves earlier in their journey. This was one of my favorite conversations so far—and one of the most important topics we've covered. If you or someone you love is dealing with endometriosis, there's a lot of insight here. Episode Highlights: • Khush's personal journey with endometriosis and years of worsening health despite multiple surgeries and medications • Recognizing when the traditional medical path isn't providing answers • Navigating fear, guilt, and isolation while dealing with an invisible illness • The four stages of endometriosis and how the condition can progress • The turning point that led Khush to reclaim her health and life • How Khush now helps women as a nutritionist and holistic health coach • Why building a collaborative health team is essential for endometriosis care • What it's like to work with Khush and her approach with patients • Holistic strategies that can support healing with endometriosis • Khush's thoughts on intermittent fasting and endometriosis • How women can start prioritizing their own health and well-being • Why individualized, sustainable programs are critical for long-term success • Khush's message for women who are newly diagnosed or suspect they may have endometriosis   Connect with Khush Sra: Khush Sra's Website https://khushsra.com/ Khush Sra on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/endonutrition/   Episode Resources: Work with Dr. Tassone | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Archetype Quiz | Learn Your Hormonal Archetype   Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

Happy International Women's Day 2026! In this special episode of the Coaching Podcast, Georgina talks all things Women's Health with a focus on paddling with her guest Dr Jagruti Amin (Jag) who has been a white water kayaker since 2013 and is a member of Paddle UK. It's an almost hour long whirlwind tour from the teenage years through to the menopause, with something in it for everyone. There's a crib sheet with resources and links available so you don't have to scribble them down. Jag is a GMC registered Dr (4645311) who qualified and started seeing patients in 1999 but had to give up her Licence to Practise in 2018 because of psoriatic arthritis. After studying medicine at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford she started her career in hospitals training in medicine. She started specialist training in Haematology before deciding to move to the world of General Practice in 2006 which included a 6 month training post in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. As a fully fledged GP she had an interest in Women's Health, Contraception, Sexual Health and Safeguarding. For several years she also held separate roles as a Contraception and Sexual health Dr and a Named GP for Safeguarding Children. She was involved in medical politics as a representative on her Local Medical Council. Despite no longer seeing patients she's remained passionate about Women's Health and women advocating for themselves. A special thanks goes to Dr Kaye Brennan who is a GP, a Specialist Sports & Exercise Medicine Dr, a Council Member of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine and also works for the Ministry of Defence for her help and guidance in some of the more specialist areas in this podcast.

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi welcome back Dr. Kelly Casperson to discuss perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy with clarity and science instead of fear.Dr. Casperson explains why perimenopause is a clinical diagnosis, not simply a lab result, and why so many women are dismissed as “too young” or “too old” when their symptoms are real.

The Victorian Premier has announced she will refer serious allegations about surgical misconduct with endometriosis patients by leading gynecologist Dr Simon Gordon to police. It follows a damning investigation by Four Corners on the ABC, which alleges that countless women had been misdiagnosed and had undergone unnecessary, expensive surgery. In a statement to Four Corners, Simon Gordon said, “across my entire career, I never performed surgery to treat endometriosis, or any other condition, unless I was absolutely convinced it was in the patient's best interests and to improve their overall quality of life,” and that throughout his career, he’d always “acted ethically and responsibly." In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Jodie Avery, a lead researcher in Chronic Reproductive Health Conditions, who unpacks what should happen when pelvic pain is investigated, why invasive surgery is no longer the first-line diagnostic tool, and what the latest evidence says about imaging, medical management and multidisciplinary care. She explains the current guidelines, the risks of repeated surgeries, and why women should never feel pressured into procedures without exploring alternatives. Disclaimer: This interview is for general information only; it does not constitute medical advice. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists diagnosis guidelines state patients with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis should be offered a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound as the first-line investigation. A pelvic MRI can be offered if ultrasound is not available, or if deep endometriosis is suspected. If transvaginal ultrasound is not possible or not appropriate, and MRI is not available, a transabdominal ultrasound could be suggested. Surgery is not required as a first-line option to diagnose endometriosis. Headlines: Human remains have been found in the search for missing grandfather Chris Bahgsarian, Lord Peter Mandelson has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and the theme for this year's Met Gala has been revealed.

What does a pap smear test for, and what happens after an abnormal pap smear? In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney interviews Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi to break down exactly what a pap smear is, how HPV affects cervical cancer risk, and what women need to know about abnormal results. A pap smear is a cervical cancer screening test that checks for precancerous and cancerous cells on the cervix. A pap smear does not test for ovarian cancer, uterine conditions, or all sexually transmitted infections. HPV testing is often performed at the same time because high risk HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.Can you have HPV with a normal Pap smear? What actually happens after an abnormal result? Dr. A answers these questions and more, explaining that while most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years, monitoring and follow-up are key. The bottom line: cervical cancer is highly preventable with routine Pap and HPV screening—but annual well-woman visits are still essential for protecting your long-term health.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with registered nurse and endometriosis advocate Jenneh Rishe to explore her experience with diaphragmatic endometriosis — a form of the disease that presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and right upper abdominal pain rather than the classic pelvic symptoms most practitioners associate with endo. Jenneh shares how years of hormonal suppression, including being prescribed the pill on top of an existing IUD, delayed her path to a confirmed diagnosis. This episode underscores the importance of specialist care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment.

Painful sex is far more common than most women realize and far more complex than we're ever taught.In this episode, Dr. Leah shares her deeply personal 18-year journey with painful sex, low libido, and feeling dismissed by the medical system, alongside a comprehensive breakdown of the real root causes of pain during sex, from trauma and pelvic floor dysfunction to hormonal changes and lesser-known conditions like provoked vestibulodynia (PVD).We talk honestly about why painful sex is not something you should “just push through,” why many conventional treatments miss the mark, and how healing often requires addressing multiple layers at once: physical, neurological, hormonal, and emotional.If sex has ever felt painful, burning, tense, or emotionally complicated, or if you've been told everything “looks normal” but something still feels wrong, this conversation is for you.Painful sex is not a personal failure, a relationship problem, or something you should tolerate. It's often a signal, and when you understand the signal, healing becomes possible.Content NoteThis episode includes discussion of sexual trauma, medical trauma, and chronic pain. Please take care while listening and pause if needed.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy painful sex is common but not normalHow trauma (sexual, medical, or cultural) can create involuntary pelvic floor tensionThe difference between deep pain vs. pain at the vaginal opening (and why that matters)What vaginismus is and why dilators alone often aren't enoughHow pain and pleasure share the same neurological pathwaysThe role of vibration in interrupting pain signalsWhy hormonal birth control can contribute to painful sexWhat provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is and why most women have never heard of itHow postpartum hormonal shifts can cause pain even when labs look “normal”Why testosterone matters for vulvar tissue healthThe connection between low libido and painHow hypertonic (overly tight) pelvic floors contribute to pain, birth challenges, and postpartum issuesWhy every woman should see a pelvic floor physical therapist at least onceHow scars, tailbone injuries, infections, and nerve pain syndromes play a roleWhy healing painful sex requires a root-cause, multi-layered approachA message of hope: healing is possible, even after years of pain00:00 Trailer + show intro02:00 Why painful sex is more common than we think (and why women feel so isolated)04:00 Dr. Leah's personal story: living with painful sex from the very beginning08:00 Being dismissed by doctors + why chronic pain is so confusing and isolating12:30 Why treating symptoms doesn't work16:00 Endometriosis and deep pain during sex25:30 Why pregnancy sometimes improves pain (and why it doesn't always last)32:45 Vaginismus explained40:45 Pain, pleasure, and the nervous system44:30 Trauma healing during pregnancy and how it changed postpartum pain47:45 Provoked Vestibulodynia (PVD)52:45 Birth control, testosterone, and why estrogen isn't always the issue56:45 What finally worked59:45 Other overlooked causes of painful sex1:04:30 Hypertonic pelvic floors1:08:30 Final reflections, hope, and next stepsResources Mentioned:Dr. Leah's When Sex Hurts Immersion Course WaitlistWhen Sex Hurts (book)Womanhood Wellness MembershipEpisode: Birth Preparation for Sexual Trauma Survivors

They discuss terminal agitation, how hospice teams manage comfort, and the thoughtful use of medications like morphine.The conversation also emphasizes the importance of end of life planning, including advance directives, family conversations, and making wishes known to reduce guilt and conflict later.

After years of debilitating endometriosis, failed fertility treatments, and a devastating miscarriage, Alyssa Chavez found herself at rock bottom—sitting in her closet every morning, crying, with zero resources for emotional support. The medical system had cleared her physically but left her completely alone in her grief. What happened next changed everything. In this deeply moving episode, Alyssa shares her 5-year journey from that closet floor to spontaneously conceiving her baby girl—not through more interventions, but through learning to listen to what her body had been trying to tell her all along. In this episode, we explore: Why "medically cleared" after pregnancy loss means nothing for your emotional, nervous system, or hormonal health The critical connection between your gut, nervous system, and reproductive system that most doctors never mention How symptoms aren't problems to fix—they're your body's communication system Why fertility isn't just about hormones (and what's really happening when your body won't conceive) The power of taking one tiny 1% step when you're feeling completely stuck How Alyssa went from debilitating endometriosis pain to completely pain-free periods What actually shifted when she stopped trying so hard and started supporting her nervous system This episode is for you if: You've been "cleared" medically but know something still isn't right You're tired of doctors offering only birth control or "just relax" You want to understand what your body is actually trying to tell you You're ready to reclaim your power in your own healing journey Alyssa's story is proof that your body isn't broken—it's brilliant.

If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it's normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice. In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health. You'll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients. I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles. This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach. 

How do you support someone you love through the chaos of addiction without losing yourself in the process? Why have women been expected to give birth lying flat on their backs for centuries, and is there a better way? And, is a hysterectomy a “magic fix” for endometriosis? In this episode, we speak to Addiction Psychiatrist Dr Xavier Mulenga, to navigate the heartbreaking reality of supporting a loved one with an addiction. We discuss the thin line between helping and enabling, how to handle the inevitable cycle of relapse, and why setting firm boundaries isn’t the same as abandonment. Plus, in Med School, Claire and Dr Mariam look at the history of birthing positions; they discuss “vertical birthing rooms” and explore why gravity might be your best friend in the delivery room. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers Kara’s question about whether a hysterectomy is a potential avenue to end her debilitating 26-day periods. We break down the pros and cons of this major surgery, the reality of “surgical menopause” and explain why removing the uterus isn’t always a guaranteed cure for endometriosis.

What does endurance look like when perfection is no longer the goal?In this deeply personal episode, host Corrine Malcolm sits down with professional runner and mountain athlete Olivia Amber for a conversation about movement, identity, health, and choosing paths that don't always make sense on paper but that feel right in the body.Olivia grew up in a small Nordic ski community in northern Wisconsin, racing at a high level before stepping away from elite skiing after college. What followed was a series of pivots: a career outside sport, a rediscovery of running as a form of exploration, and eventually a return to the mountains — this time on her own terms.At the center of this episode is Olivia's recent completion of Norman's 13, a roughly 105-mile, 40,000-foot link-up of California's Sierra Nevada 14ers. Olivia became the first woman to establish a known time on the route, claiming the FKT in the process, but this achievement can't be separated from the years that came before it: shaped by chronic pain, a stage IV endometriosis diagnosis, major surgery, and learning to listen to a body that no longer responded to “push through it.”This is a conversation about redefining success, navigating health within high-performance sport, and allowing dreams to evolve when the old version no longer fits.In this episode, we talk about:Growing up in a Nordic ski community and how family shapes athletic identityWalking away from elite skiing — and why it wasn't a failureFinding running as freedom, not replacementLiving and training with stage IV endometriosisFertility decisions, surgery, and long-term health realitiesWhat makes Norman's 13 such a unique mountain challengeChoosing a harder line because it felt safer — and truerThe role of community in big, lonely objectivesLetting go of outcomes and committing to the process@feisty_media@trail.societyrabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/to upgrade your running kit

In this episode of SHE MD Podcast, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney welcome Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore the critical role of muscle, protein, and metabolic health in women's longevity. Dr. Lyon challenges conventional narratives around aging and reframes strength as a foundation for long-term health, independence, and resilience.The conversation dives into why muscle is far more than an aesthetic goal and how it supports hormonal balance, metabolic health, and functional longevity. Dr. Lyon explains how prioritizing strength can help women protect their health as they age, reduce disease risk, and maintain vitality across every stage of life. Listeners gain clarity on how protein intake, resistance training, and proactive health strategies work together to build resilience. Dr. Lyon emphasizes that the ultimate goal is not simply muscle growth, but creating stronger, more capable humans who can thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.This episode empowers women to rethink aging, move away from reactive healthcare, and adopt a proactive approach to strength and longevity. By focusing on function, resilience, and long-term health, Dr. Lyon offers a powerful framework for women to invest in their future selves and redefine what healthy aging truly looks like.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

Women's bodies get endlessly analyzed from the outside… while our internal health gets treated like an optional group project nobody studied for. Cool cool cool. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil goes deep on the perimenopause/menopause mess: the years of brain fog, 3 a.m. wake-ups, mood swings, weight gain, and the medical equivalent of a shrug. Enter Dr. Sarah Daccarett, hormone specialist and aging expert, to explain why so many women are confused, dismissed, and exhausted—and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be viewed as foundational health support, not a “last resort once you're fully miserable.” What We Cover Why most women (including doctors) are confused about perimenopause + HRT—and why that's not your fault The “natural” misconception: why Sarah argues HRT can be more natural than the supplement aisle Why waiting for hot flashes is like waiting for your car to explode before you change the oil Hormones as the “CEO of the body”: brain, bones, metabolism, sleep, libido, digestion—ALL of it The real problem with “just fix your gut / cortisol / diet” advice when your hormones are the actual root issue PCOS, insulin resistance, and why “just lose weight” advice can be straight-up useless Why hormone testing can be wildly unreliable—and why symptoms still matter Medical gaslighting: how women lose trust in themselves when the system keeps minimizing them If you've been white-knuckling your way through perimenopause symptoms, you're not weak—you're under-supported.
