Endometriosis is a painful disease that occurs when endometrium-like tissue grows outside of the uterus. It's extremely common—if you have a uterus, you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting it. Yet, it takes seven years on average to receive a formal diagnosis. What does the latest science tell us about the biology of the condition and how to treat it? And why do so many people have such a difficult time getting diagnosed? Host Flora Lichtman is joined by endometriosis researcher and patient Linda Griffith to answer those questions and more. Guest: Dr. Linda Griffith is a biological engineer and Scientific Director of The MIT Center for Gynepathology Research.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

But today we saw an exciting headline - the first treatment for endometriosis in nine years is now registered in New Zealand. It's called Ryeqo.

Did you know our metabolic and hormonal systems are deeply connected? So many women who experience hormone imbalances, mood swings, or fertility struggles think it's just something they have to deal with as "part of being a woman". In this groundbreaking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD scientist and women's health innovator, to unpack the science behind ovarian health, menopause myths, and the things we can do to take control over our bodies. We dive into the shocking truth about how ovaries are not just about fertility—but act as a command center for nearly every system in the body. Dr. Piraye explains why modern women are outliving their ovaries and what that means for our health, energy, and aging. From sleep to stress to blood sugar, she shares how to understand your body's hormone signals and take back control. She also breaks down how PCOS and perimenopause share metabolic roots, why glucose management is a hormone health superpower, and how hot flashes might be your brain's way of signaling distress. You'll hear how she personally used a continuous glucose monitor to stop her hot flashes—and the surprising ways GLP-1s (like Ozempic) are restoring ovulation in women who were told they'd never conceive naturally. If you've been told “this is just what happens as you age,” or have ever felt dismissed by doctors while navigating period pain, fertility challenges, or menopause symptoms, this episode will empower you with science, tools, and hope. You'll also hear: Why your ovaries affect your brain, bones, metabolism, and immune system How GLP-1s are shifting the fertility and PCOS landscape What environmental toxins are doing to your hormones How sleep and melatonin directly impact ovarian function Why temperature tracking is the most underrated health tool for women Whether you're navigating PCOS, planning to freeze your eggs, or just want to feel better in your 30s and 40s, this episode is a must-listen. It's time we stop normalizing hormone suffering—and start listening to the signals our bodies are sending.

When radiology meets surgery, endometriosis care becomes more precise, personalized, and proactive. In this BackTable OBGYN Brief, host Dr. Mark Hoffman is joined by Dr. Wendaline VanBuren, an associate professor of radiology at Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Tatnai Burnett, a minimally invasive GYN surgeon at Mayo Clinic, to discuss the complexities of diagnosing and managing endometriosis. The discussion covers the roles of advanced imaging techniques like MRI and ultrasound, the importance of pre-surgical planning, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration. They share their approach to managing symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, the use of hormonal treatments, and the significance of monitoring potential malignant transformations in endometrioma cases. The episode underscores the critical role of imaging in planning effective surgical interventions for patients while highlighting the progression of endometriosis management protocols.

If you've been told your AMH is “too low” for your age, or that it means your only chance is IVF with high doses of medication, this episode is for you. AMH is not the final word on your fertility it's a marker that should spark deeper investigation. You'll learn: How IVF clinics use AMH to predict drug response and egg retrieval What the research actually says about high vs. mild stimulation for women with low AMH Why no stimulation protocol can improve egg quality The four functional fertility pillars that truly impact outcomes: mitochondria, inflammation, nutrients, and hormones A client story of moving beyond repeated IVF cycles to conceive naturally I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile. For over a decade, my team and I have helped hundreds of couples improve their chances of pregnancy success, whether naturally or through IVF.

Most women are told IVF or donor eggs are the only path forward, but AMH is more than a fertility “score.” Here's why it's misunderstood [00:02:00] What IVF protocols are used for low AMH? High-dose meds, mild stimulation, dual stim, and add-ons like DHEA are common. But do they actually improve outcomes? [00:04:30] Why do repeated IVF cycles often fail with low AMH? Many women get stuck in the loop of “protocol tweaks” while underlying health issues go unaddressed [00:05:00] Can IVF improve egg quality? Research shows protocols change egg quantity, not quality, here's why mitochondrial and cellular health matter most [00:07:00] What functional strategies support mitochondria for egg quality? From CoQ10 and omega-3s to sleep and stress balance, these are the foundations of better egg competence [00:09:30] How does stress and nervous system dysregulation affect AMH? Graduate school, 50-hour work weeks, and perfectionism can suppress ovarian function, here's how to spot the signs [00:12:00] Which labs uncover hidden inflammation affecting fertility? Markers like hsCRP and homocysteine reveal systemic inflammation IVF clinics rarely check [00:14:00] Which nutrient deficiencies impact ovarian reserve and embryo health? Vitamin D, ferritin, folate, B12, zinc, magnesium, selenium, subtle gaps can change outcomes [00:17:00] How do thyroid, prolactin, and cortisol influence egg development? Hormonal imbalances upstream are often missed, yet they shape ovulation, luteal support, and implantation [00:21:00] Can you conceive naturally with low AMH? A client with one ovary, endometriosis, and high FSH conceived naturally after addressing digestion, adrenal health, and nutrient absorption --- RESOURCES
Since the age of nine or ten, Katie Burns has had debilitating pain from endometriosis, a condition where tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. For years, Katie was in the dark about what was causing her pain. Even after a diagnosis at age 20 it was hard to find relief, or even answers about her condition. Her search for better care is part of what led her to a career studying the disease, which affects tens of millions of people worldwide. And in 2012, she discovered something new about its origins. Today, we talk to Katie and science reporter Meredith Wadman about that discovery, which points to a surprising culprit of endometriosis — the immune system.Read Meredith's full piece in Science Magazine HERE.
