Dr. Tarryn Kawalsky came on to talk about something I've been thinking about constantly since becoming a mother: the massive gap between what women experience in their bodies and what the medical system actually addresses. She's a GP, co-founder of The Ovarian Club podcast, and she spent her community service year in obstetrics and gynecology at a top South African hospital where she witnessed firsthand how women get dismissed. The statistics are wild. Women weren't required to be included in clinical trials until 1990. One in ten women has endometriosis, but doctors aren't taught to ask about painful periods during routine visits. Tarryn talks about patients coming in with completely unrelated complaints, and when she asks basic questions about their menstrual cycle or perimenopause symptoms, suddenly there's this whole other picture. Women reporting crippling pain every month but thinking it's normal. Women put on antidepressants in their forties without anyone checking if it might be perimenopause first. Hormone replacement therapy that could prevent bone density loss and cardiovascular problems isn't even available in the public sector. What landed for me is how Tarryn had to actively unlearn her male-centric medical training. She's teaching herself to treat symptoms even when biomarkers look "normal," to believe women when they say something's wrong, to actually listen instead of just checking boxes. We talked about postpartum care being basically nonexistent after six weeks, about how chewable Viagra exists while ovarian cancer gets a fraction of the research funding, about the difference between doctors who listen and doctors who don't. Her message to women: know your symptoms, don't let yourself be gaslit, seek second opinions. Your body is yours and you know it better than anyone else.

Imagine breaking a world record at the Commonwealth Games. It should be the single greatest moment of your life. But instead of wearing your gold medal, celebrating with your teammates, you are curled up in a hotel bed, alone and unable to move. That was the reality for Katja Dedekind, an Australian Paralympic Swimmer. Katja is visually impaired, but for her, that disability pales in comparison to the chronic condition she has been battling behind the scenes for years: Endometriosis. In this awakening episode of the Well Summer Series, Katja (and her emotional support dog, Duke), joins Claire Murphy to share her story of sheer resilience. From getting her period at age nine, to bleeding through her race suit during a gold-medal swim, Katja reveals the physical toll of elite sport when your body is fighting against you.They discuss the long wait times many Australian women face for a diagnosis, and Katja opens up about the life-altering decision she made to undergo a hysterectomy at 2. Join us for a story in pain, resilience and the tough choices female athletes have to make when their health is on the line.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two of the most misunderstood women's health conditions—and most women are never given real answers. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down the key differences between endometriosis and adenomyosis, why imaging often misses them, and why symptoms like painful periods, pain with sex, bowel pain, heavy bleeding, clots, and infertility are often dismissed or misdiagnosed. We dive into the real root causes: chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, estrogen metabolism issues, poor bile flow, gut dysbiosis, genetic predispositions, and environmental hormone disruptors. You'll learn why estrogen levels alone don't tell the full story, how detox pathways matter more than dominance, and what actually helps reduce symptom severity. If you've been told “everything looks normal” but your body says otherwise—this episode is for you. *** CONNECT:

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

She shares how she evaluates patients, why excision surgery is considered the gold standard, and how she combines surgery with pelvic floor physical therapy, gut work, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help patients truly heal.Also discussed:The red flags that period pain that starts interfering with school, sports, and social life is not normal.How endometriosis can show up years before a teen ever gets her first period.Why birth control can help symptoms but acts as a Band-Aid, not a cure, and doesn't stop disease progression.How endometriosis is linked to infertility, and why diagnosing and treating it early matters.Practical next steps for parents: when to suspect endo, how to talk to your pediatrician or OB-GYN, and what kind of specialist to look for.This episode is meant to give parents a clearer sense of when to worry, when to push for more answers, and how to support teens who might be living with endometriosis.Connect with Dr. Iris Kerin OrbuchWebsite: https://www.lagyndr.comIris Wings – Sanctuary for Endometriosis Surgery & Wellness 9001 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 207Beverly Hills, CA 90211 Phone: (310) 651-7333 Follow her on Instagram:@dririskerinorbuch@iriswings Buy her Book: Beating Endo: How to Reclaim Your Life from EndometriosisYour Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids.

En este episodio comparto un caso real y anónimo de una mujer diagnosticada de endometriosis hace un año. Tras el diagnóstico, y siguiendo la recomendación de “hacer una dieta antiinflamatoria”, empieza a aplicar cambios alimentarios guiados por información de redes sociales y testimonios online. Lejos de mejorar, su evolución empeora: más dolor, menos energía, peor descanso y una reducción progresiva del ejercicio físico, con mayor dependencia de analgésicos. No por la enfermedad en sí, sino por una restricción alimentaria mal entendida que acaba afectando a todo su estilo de vida. A lo largo del episodio analizamos cómo una recomendación bienintencionada, sin contexto ni acompañamiento, puede tener un efecto contrario al esperado, y cómo el abordaje nutricional adecuado —basado en suficiencia, flexibilidad, educación nutricional, gestión del estrés y recuperación del movimiento— puede marcar la diferencia en la calidad de vida. Un episodio para entender que no todo lo antiinflamatorio suma y que, en patologías como la endometriosis, la clave no siempre está en eliminar, sino en acompañar bien.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

Endometriosis is finally being understood for what it truly is: a whole-body inflammatory, immune-dysregulating disease that affects far more than the pelvis—and far more than just your period. If you've ever felt dismissed by doctors, confused by contradictory information, or overwhelmed by your symptoms, this conversation is going to feel like someone finally turning on the lights.In this interview, I sit down with Dr Jessica Drummond! Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, has been passionate about supporting, caring for, and empowering people who struggle with women's and pelvic health concerns throughout her 24 year career working as a physical therapist and clinical nutritionist.Dr. Drummond's trademarked approach is holistic, multi-pronged, and comprehensive, which combines science-informed research, functional nutrition application, lifestyle medicine strategies, nervous system regulation, mind-body connection, hormone balance, physical & manual therapy, and so much more. While her private clients hold a special place in her heart, Dr. Jessica Drummond is equally passionate about educating and supporting clinicians and wellness professionals to become certified health coaches so they can confidently and safely provide integrative tools and treatment to their clients.In this in-depth interview, we unpack 20+ years of clinical experience and research to help you understand:

Today, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood, overlooked, and chronically dismissed conditions in women's health: endometriosis.Endo is a full-body, chronic inflammatory disease that affects 1 in 10 women, yet it takes an average of 7 to 10 years to get diagnosed. Why? Because the system still doesn't take women's pain seriously AND most of us were never taught what endometriosis actually looks like.Today we have on Dr. Liza Klassen, a naturopathic doctor in British Columbia who is breaking all this down for us.So in this episode, we discuss the real signs of endo + the ones no one talks about: from GI issues and bladder pain to fatigue, anxiety, depression, and pain with intercourse. We get into why bloodwork won't catch it, why ultrasounds can still miss it, and why diagnosis can require surgery.We also unpack the truth about estrogen and endo, the myth of “estrogen dominance,” fertility challenges, surgical pros and cons, and what the research actually supports when it comes to treatments like hormonal therapy, supplements, pelvic floor physio, nutrition, exercise, and more.If you've ever wondered whether your pain is “normal,” felt dismissed by your provider, or you've been searching for answers your whole life… this episode is for you. It's validating, empowering, and full of the science you should've been taught years ago.Connect with Dr. Klassen below:Website is hereInstagram + more info on awe endometriosis focused program  is hereFor more information & to join the Confident Clinician check it out here!

Justice Secretary David Lammy has announced plans for a sweeping range of reforms to criminal courts in England and Wales. The proposals include scrapping jury trials for cases where sentences are likely to be less than three years and for trials involving ‘particularly technical and lengthy fraud and financial offences'. They will only be kept for the most serious offences, including murder, robbery and rape. However there are fears that the proposed changes will have a disproportionate impact on women, whether as victims or when accused of a crime and then particularly for women of colour. Nuala McGovern discusses the reforms with Fiona Rutherford, Chief Executive of legal reform charity Justice, barrister Emma Torr, Co-chief of Appeal, a law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions, and Val Castell, Deputy National Chair of the Magistrates' Association. A petition has been launched calling for a national endometriosis registry to track and audit data on diagnosis, treatment and surgery outcomes. It's been spearheaded by Jessica Smith, who, like an estimated one and a half million women in the UK, suffers with endometriosis, a condition which occurs when the tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, grows in other places, such as the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Campaigners say the level of care is a post code lottery, with long wait lists and that by streamlining this information some of the gaps in care could be eliminated. Jessica joins Nuala along with Professor Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians.The Women's Institute has announced a big change - from next April it will no longer offer membership to transgender women. The UK Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that the legal definition of a woman can only be based on biological sex. This comes the day after it was announced that transgender girls can no longer join the Girl Guides, Brownies or Rainbows. The Women's Institute says it's decision comes with the ‘utmost regret.' Melissa Green, Chief Executive of the National Federation of Women's Institutes explains why they came to this decision. The BBC's political correspondent Phil Sim gives the background.Do you like everything to be perfect for Christmas dinner party hosting – the spotless house, the elaborate menu, the Instagram-worthy table setting? But what if the secret to a great dinner party isn't perfection, but scruffy hosting – a trend that is apparently transforming the way we gather together and makes stress-free dinner parties more attainable - perhaps a one-pot dinner, mismatched cutlery, toys under the table or children running around screaming. Helen Thorn, Comedian, Podcaster and one half of Scummy Mummies tells Nuala why she embraces this type of hosting. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Send us a textYou've probably heard at some point that endometriosis is a lifelong, progressive disease that only gets worse with time. But the research tells a very different (and far more hopeful) story.In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo, to break down decades of studies showing that endometriosis often stabilizes, regresses, or even resolves. We explore why symptoms don't always reflect lesion behavior, how inflammation and the nervous system influence endo, and what this means for your healing.This conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.Highlights:The myth of inevitable progressionWhat studies actually show about lesion behaviorWhy symptoms ≠ progressionThe role of inflammation, immunity, and the nervous systemHow lifestyle can support your body without obsession

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis touch far more than the reproductive system—they influence metabolism, mood, inflammation, digestion, sleep, and the way women feel in their bodies every day. In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore these conditions through a lens that views the body as a connected, intelligent system rather than a collection of separate parts. Learn how PCOS and endometriosis affect the whole body, why insulin, inflammation, and estrogen pathways matter, and which evidence-supported supplements may help. You'll also see how stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, pelvic-floor therapy, and acupuncture support hormonal balance, along with the shared patterns that make both conditions responsive to a multi-therapeutic approach. If you've ever wondered why symptoms feel so widespread—or why standard treatments sometimes fall short—this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a grounded view of what whole-body healing can look like.

Dr Stacy Sims, expert in female physiology and training, collaborates with fx Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir to discuss the intricate relationship between hormones and physical performance. Together they explore how the female hormonal cycle introduces unique challenges and opportunities. The follicular phase is the time when women typically excel physically, while the ovulatory phase can bring variations in how one feels during exercise. The mid-luteal phase can be challenging for high-intensity training, and the days leading up to menstruation require tailored adjustments due to mood, heart rate, and performance changes. Tailored exercise strategies are discussed, with tips for conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. Maintaining muscle mass during peri/menopause through specific exercise approaches is emphasised. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is clarified as not reversing aging but preserving lean muscle mass through exercise. The podcast also covers injury prevention, nutrition, and hydration strategies, offering women and clinicians an holistic guide to optimise their fitness journey throughout life.

In this episode of MaternalRx, Dr. Elif Polat, MD, researcher, endometriosis advocate, and Turkey representative for Worldwide EndoMarch, joins Dr. Danielle Plummer to discuss the often misunderstood and deeply complex condition of endometriosis. Dr. Polat unpacks what endometriosis truly is, explaining how it's both an inflammatory and hormone-dependent disease that can affect any organ in the body, even beyond the reproductive system. She reveals why diagnosis can take up to ten years, why standard tests often miss it, and how its symptoms can extend far beyond pelvic pain, sometimes presenting in surprising ways. The conversation dives into how endometriosis impacts fertility, pregnancy, and the risk of ectopic pregnancy, and clarifies when tools like hysteroscopy may be appropriate. Dr. Polat also dispels common myths, such as the belief that pregnancy or hysterectomy can cure the disease, and emphasizes the importance of continued research and advocacy. Listeners will gain insight into how endometriosis affects not only patients but their families and communities, and how global initiatives like Worldwide EndoMarch (@endomarch) are driving awareness and change. Stay through the end for Dr. Plummer's “Final Thoughts,” where she reflects on how pharmacists can better support patients through empathy, education, and collaboration.

Brooke shares her deeply personal infertility journey, marked by two years of trying to conceive while navigating the challenges of military life, long separations from her husband, and the emotional toll of constant negative tests. She opens up about the moment she felt called to leave her dream career in order to prioritize her family and the complex feelings that came with making that choice.Brooke discusses the physical and emotional impact of endometriosis, a condition that left her in debilitating pain—often crying through work days—before finally receiving life-changing treatment and diagnosis. After undergoing endometriosis surgery, she experienced a dramatic improvement in her quality of life and now shares how Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) helped her relieve pain and reclaim hope. Her experience sheds light on the realities of women's health, the barriers to proper diagnosis, and the financial strain of paying out of pocket for the care she needed.Throughout the episode, Brooke talks about the insensitive comments she has received, the misunderstanding surrounding infertility, and the unique pressure placed on TTC couples, especially when the military lifestyle makes timing unpredictable. She reflects on the impact infertility has had on her marriage, the strain of living in cycles of waiting, and the mix of relief and sadness she feels when her husband is away during fertile windows.One of the most inspiring parts of her story is the creation of Fertile Hope Photography—a project born from her desire to bring visibility and compassion to the infertility community. Brooke hopes to capture the honest, raw, and hopeful moments of every season of infertility, reminding others that there is beauty even in the hardest chapters. She explains why women may not want these moments photographed in the moment, yet often wish they had them later as part of their healing.Brooke offers heartfelt infertility support, sharing practical advice for coping with infertility, holding onto hope during long seasons of waiting, and advocating for yourself when answers feel out of reach. Her story is a powerful reminder that infertility is not just a medical condition—it's an emotional, relational, and mental health journey that requires compassion, resilience, and community.If you're looking for an infertility podcast episode that speaks to the truth of endometriosis, the reality of TTC, and the emotional layers of military infertility, Brooke's story offers comfort, validation, and the reminder that hope can grow in unexpected places.

This week, I'm sitting down with Maya McHenry — a model, publicist, philanthropist, and board member of the Endometriosis Foundation of America — for a conversation I've been wanting to have on this show for a long time.Maya's been deep in this advocacy work for years, and it's clear why—in today's interview, she shares just how much trauma and hardship she's been through. In our conversation, Maya walks me through the first time she ever experienced an “endo episode,” when the pain was so severe she passed out. She shares how she spent years being dismissed by doctors, misdiagnosed, and told that her symptoms were “just anxiety.” Hearing how long she suffered before finally getting a diagnosis was heartbreaking, especially knowing that her story isn't unusual. Many women wait 7–10 years for answers, and Maya brings so much honesty, clarity, and compassion to this topic.We also talk about how chronic illness impacts mental health, how trauma can intensify physical symptoms, and the tools she's learned to use when her flares hit without warning. Maya's vulnerability in sharing what this disease has taken from her and how she's learned to advocate for herself is incredibly powerful.At the end of the conversation, I asked her about her sister, Lyric McHenry (my former coworker and friend from Refinery29 who tragically passed), and what Maya shared with me was so emotional and so profound that I realized it deserved its own full episode.So today's episode is only Part 1, focusing on Maya's endometriosis journey.Next week, you'll hear Part 2, where Maya opens up about grief, healing, and the beautiful ways she continues to honor Lyric's legacy.This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've had on The Real Stuff. I hope it brings comfort, insight, and validation to anyone who has ever felt overlooked or unheard in the medical system.The Endometriosis Foundation of America: https://www.endofound.orgFollow Maya: https://www.instagram.com/mayamchenry/Sponsor:CLEARSTEM: How to claim your free Hydration Heroes Mini Kit: Go to CLEARSTEM.com, add the Hydration Heroes Mini Kit plus $75 of other CLEARSTEM products to your cart, and enter code REALSTUFFHH at checkout — the kit is yours for free!

Juliet Oliver's experience of severe endometriosis led her to creating an app designed to help women manage the condition. 

My guest is Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, MD, board-certified OB/GYN, surgeon and leading expert in women's health. We discuss polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, two very common yet frequently undiagnosed causes of female infertility. Dr. Aliabadi explains the symptoms, underlying causes and evidence-based treatments for both conditions, including supplement and lifestyle interventions. We also discuss breast cancer risk and screening, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause, and the hormone tests that women should request.

It's a delight to have Dr. Geoffrey Sher back. He's been on the show several times, and our discussion on "How to Avoid Implantation Failure During IVF" is one of the most viewed on the channel! Today we're talking about treating Endometriosis - related infertility.  Here are some facts about Endometriosis as shared by Dr. Sher:  - Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of the uterus, in the pelvic cavity.   - It occurs in about 10% of all women and can be symptom free or may cause a wide spectrum of symptoms.   - It's estimated that 25% - 40% of all female infertility is linked to endometriosis in some way.   - Endometriosis is a life-long condition. It cannot be completely removed or cured. While endometriosis can usually be controlled (medically or surgically), the condition itself is not curable.  - Removing endometriomas from an ovary may help with getting pregnant. Dr. Sher is also sharing information about how the endometrium begins to grow outside the uterus, and why some women remain asymptomatic, and others develop symptoms.  Read the full transcript and get more information on the website.

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.
