Send us a textGetting proper nutrition for endometriosis is a huge step in the healing process. But with all the misleading information out there, knowing what to eat and how to get all the nutrients you need can feel overwhelming. Eating for endometriosis isn't about following one perfect diet that works for everyone. Instead, it's about creating a diet that works best for your unique body as an Endo Warrior.In today's episode, I'm diving into the top six nutrients studies have shown to be effective for endometriosis. I'll share what these nutrients do, how they support healing, and how to focus your diet around them to feel your best.In this episode, you'll hear:-Busting myths about nutrition and endometriosis.-The Top 6 Nutrients to focus on, including:1. Antioxidants – What they are, how they reduce inflammation, and the best food sources.2. Omega-3s – Their anti-inflammatory benefits, how they impact endometriosis, and where to find them in your diet.3. Vitamin D – Why it's essential, signs of deficiency, and how to safely get enough (without overdoing it!).4. Magnesium – The connection between magnesium and pain relief, the best food sources, and deficiency signs.5. Iron – Why it's critical for energy and recovery, and the best dietary sources.6.

This information can be crucial for your healthcare provider to make accurate diagnoses.Consider Egg Freezing: If diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis, discuss the possibility of egg freezing with your doctor, especially if you plan to have children later in life. Although PCOS patients often have a high egg count, egg quality typically decreases after 30, making early discussion around egg freezing essential.Be Your Own Advocate and Spread Awareness: If you feel dismissed by a healthcare provider, seek a second opinion. Trust your instincts and ensure your concerns are taken seriously. Share your knowledge and experiences with others. Raising awareness can help more women get diagnosed and treated early.Embrace Body Positivity: Celebrate your body and its uniqueness. Confidence in your own skin can inspire others and promote a healthier self-image.GUEST BIO: Florence Pugh is a British actress.

Joining Dr Louise Newson on the podcast this week is Jen Moore, a campaigner dedicated to raising awareness of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Jen started experiencing endometriosis symptoms at the age of 11, but it took her 22 years to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids. By this stage organ failure was a risk and she required multiple surgeries, including a hysterectomy. She has since become committed to helping other women – from speaking out to creating research projects. Here, she shares three things she believes women with endometriosis can do to make a difference to their future health: Find a specialist – someone you can ask as many questions as you want, because if they are genuinely a specialist, they will not be afraid of answering questions. Don't feel like you have to do it alone. You have your medical team, but you also need a team outside of the hospital. It doesn't matter who it is, even if it's somebody online, just reach out. There are so many of us who are just happy to help even if it's just to talk. Keep going. When you get your diagnosis, you can think awesome, everything's going to change. But then you realise, that's just the start of it – you've got this wait list to get treatment and it can be a long slog. It's exhausting, but it's important that we do.

This series dives into the transformative power of self-care as an essential tool for managing chronic illness. As a pharmacist and self-care strategist, I'm here to explore how intentional self-care can reduce stress, support physical and mental well-being, and help you feel more in control of your health. We'll discuss practical, everyday self-care strategies tailored to the unique challenges of chronic illness, from nutrition and movement to mental wellness and setting boundaries. Each episode will leave you with actionable tips that empower you to prioritize yourself, improve your quality of life, and manage your condition with greater confidence. In this episode, I am joined by Tamika Smith, a medical gaslighting survivor, a dedicated community health advocate and public speaker. She founded Mone's Healthy Eats, which promotes holistic alternatives for preventative care and chronic health issues, offering solutions without harsh side effects. While not discounting the value of traditional medication regimens, Tamika's personal experience with unsuitable treatment plans—leading to multiple mild to life-threatening side effects—drove her to explore alternative approaches. Her frustration with one-size-fits-all treatments and being medically gaslit, even after diagnoses of Endometriosis and Lupus, fueled her determination to find better solutions. Tamika's journey has made her a vocal advocate for health and healthcare equality. She has recently been featured on the Tamron Hall Show “Medical Gaslighting,” The Grio's segment "Life Hacks," BlackDoctor.org's "Better Together," and in notable magazines, where she inspires others to advocate for their health. Tamika is recognized for her collaborative efforts with clinicians, providing valuable insights from a patient's perspective.

I'm so happy that so many of you find the podcast helpful and I'm very excited about the fifth year.   Let's kick year 5 off with an episode about fertility and pregnancy. So, why does it take 2 to do the fertility tango?  I'm not an expert on male fertility and I'm not going into what types of fertility issues your male partner (or the person providing the sperm) may have and what to do about it.   But if you have Endometriosis and are experiencing difficulty falling pregnant or are having early pregnancy losses, it is important to consider that it truly takes 2 to do the fertility tango.  #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #infertility #miscarriage #improvefertility #earlypregnancyloss #maleinfertility

1 in 10 women deal with endometriosis.  Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrial lining inside the uterus grows outside it, often attaching to organs like the bladder, intestines, or muscle tissue. This tissue is estrogen-sensitive, which can cause inflammation, pain, and other symptoms, especially around your period.  Here are some of my tools for natural endometriosis relief:  Daily Red Light Therapy Using red light therapy daily is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool. Red light helps stimulate blood flow and reduce inflammation. Consistent, daily use of a quality red light device can offer ongoing relief. Look for a wireless, therapeutic-grade device that can wrap around your abdomen or lower back. Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Movement Dry brushing around the abdomen stimulates lymphatic flow, which can reduce bloating and discomfort. Moving lymph fluid helps clear out excess estrogen, which is often linked to symptom flare-ups.  Acupuncture, Massage, and Chiropractic Care Acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic adjustments release tension, relieve pain, and enhance circulation. These therapies help manage endometriosis symptoms by targeting the nervous system and muscles, aiding the body in regulating pain responses. Anti-Inflammatory Supplements Supplements like ginger, curcumin, Boswellia, and devil's claw are highly anti-inflammatory and support pain management. Consider blends such as Inflamese Plus, which combines these ingredients to support the body in addressing pain and inflammation, particularly beneficial for endometriosis. https://113022.nutridyn.com/inflam-eze-plus-infep 5. Dietary Adjustments to Reduce Inflammation Endometriosis symptoms can worsen with inflammation, so eliminating processed foods, reducing alcohol intake, and cutting down on sugars can be beneficial. Opting for an anti-inflammatory diet, rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and leafy greens, can help regulate hormone levels and minimize monthly flare-ups. 6. Hormone Balance with Dutch Testing Monitoring and managing your estrogen and progesterone levels is crucial in managing endometriosis. High estrogen levels can worsen symptoms, so keeping a close eye on hormone health through DUTCH testing is key.  7. Stress Management Stress has a direct impact on inflammation and hormone levels. Find daily practices to reduce stress — whether through deep breathing, mindfulness, setting boundaries or gentle movement — helps prevent symptom flare-ups. P.S.

She's been diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome which was exacerbated after birth and especially when her menstrual cycle returned. Her symptoms were very similar to a prolapse - a heaviness and dragging sensation in her rectum - but she also experiences sharp, debilitating pain that can last for up to an hour and significantly affects her day to day life. She is planning for a laparoscopy to investigate endometriosis and talks about the importance of specialist care and the comfort she finds in  the stories of other women. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
