You knew something was wrong with your body long before anyone found it. Months, sometimes years, of being the only one who kept taking your chronic illness seriously - while the standard tests came back clear and the system ran out of places to look. So you found your own answers. And you were right.But here's the part almost no one connects to their physical symptoms. When being proven right costs you that much, a part of you starts holding onto the evidence of how sick you are — because that proof is the thing you fought to earn. And that emotional pattern can sit directly across from the healing you say you want as a woman with chronic illness.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the years you spent being the only one who believed you can end up working against you now.Why part of you can want to be well and resist it in the same breath.What changes when getting well no longer feels like conceding anything.Becoming the Version of You Who Heals is my seven-day audio series that works at the level of identity — separating who you are from what you've been diagnosed with, one day at a time. Read about the transformations women have had in just seven days.

Is it intuition or a trauma response? Former US intelligence analyst Erin Gunzelman has spent six years testing that question on herself — trusting her body 100% of the time and treating reality as a mirror — and shares what happened when she stopped ignoring the signs.Erin grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, built pattern-recognition software in the intelligence community, and walked away when chronic pain — what Western medicine calls endometriosis — forced her to listen to her body. A yoga teacher training in 2018 opened the door; a divorce and the shutdowns of 2020 emptied everything else out. With nothing left to lose, she packed her car and began the experiment she now shares as the Mirror Method: following the winks, recording hundreds of dreams ("what if Carl Jung had AI?"), and learning blindfold vision — perceiving color without using her eyes. Michael tried it himself a few hours before this recording, and he's still integrating.Together they unpack the nervous system as a portal rather than a problem to fix, why sitting in muddy water beats stirring it, ego death and the capital-T truth question, the terror of real freedom, plant medicine and outsourcing your power, and how letting go of control opens possibilities you can't yet see.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:32 From intelligence analyst to mystic00:04:01 When the body forces an exit: illness and finding yoga00:07:12 Dream journaling — what if Carl Jung had AI?00:11:39 Is it intuition or a trauma response?00:13:43 Muddy water: staying with reality instead of regulating it away00:17:15 Is there a capital-T truth?

For women with chronic illness, the dread that builds ahead of a hard week can cost you more than the week itself.You spend Sunday running the work, the appointments, the flare you're sure is coming — and by Monday your body has already lived it three times over. This mini is about that anticipatory dread, one of the emotional patterns that quietly drains the energy your body needs, and the simple shift that stops you living the hard thing twice. It's one of the most relatable patterns I see in women with chronic illness and autoimmune illness, and almost no one connects it to how depleted they feel.In this episode, you'll discover:Why dreading a hard week can wear you out more than the week itself doesWhat your body does when you rehearse something stressful that hasn't happened yetOne question that pulls you out of the dread and back into the day you're actually inUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

In this listener Q&A episode, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center and Dr. Carrie Bedient from Fertility Center of Las Vegas breakdown the real information patients need to know. We're tackling some of your biggest questions about fertility testing—from BV, HPV, AMH, and sperm counts to PGT-A, failed FETs, tubal issues, and when it may be time to consider IVF. We break down what the evidence actually tells us, which tests may be worth considering, and when additional testing is unlikely to change the next step. Plus, we discuss fertility testing in early pregnancy and share practical guidance for navigating the often-confusing world of fertility workups. Tune in for real answers from real patients going through their fertility journeys!

Being symptom-free is the whole goal. And for a lot of women with chronic illness, it's also the most uncomfortable place to be.When your symptoms finally ease and a good stretch arrives, something feels off instead of freeing. So you spend it waiting for the crash, watching the horizon, unable to relax into the exact thing you've been working toward. This episode is about that fear of feeling good — one of the emotional patterns behind chronic illness and autoimmune illness in women that almost no one connects to their physical symptoms and why it keeps your body stuck.In this episode, you'll discover:Why a good stretch can leave you more on edge than a flare doesWhat your body is actually doing in the moments you can't let yourself enjoyThe one shift that lets you finally enjoy a good day instead of anxiously awaiting something to come ruin itUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

What if the belief you're holding about your own future is the very thing keeping you from healing?For a lot of women with chronic illness, hope feels almost impossible to hold onto. Your body hurts, the evidence that you can get better is thin, and somewhere along the way you decided this might just be your life now. But that belief shapes everything you do next, and the emotional patterns underneath it have a real effect on whether anything changes. This mini is about why you have to believe better is possible before the proof arrives, not after, and the one shift that starts building that belief on real things that are actually happening.In this mini, you'll discover:Why believing healing is possible has to come before the evidence, not afterThe reason hope feels so hard to hold when you're the one living in a body that hurtsOne shift that turns every small win into proof your body can get better7-DAY AUDIO SERIES: Becoming the Version of You Who HealsThat 3am thought, "what if this is just my life now?", stops being the thing you wake up to.

Taking time off to heal was supposed to be the thing that finally worked. So why do you feel exactly the same, or worse?Here's what nobody tells women with chronic illness who step back from work to recover. Stopping your job is not the same as resting your body. And if you've quietly turned getting better into your new full-time job, complete with targets, a timeline and a daily verdict on whether you're passing or failing, your body is still under pressure. It never actually stopped. This episode is about the emotional patterns underneath that pressure, why it keeps your body locked out of the state it needs to repair, and what real rest actually looks like.In this episode, you'll discover:Why taking time off to heal can make your chronic illness worse instead of betterThe hidden pressure you've been putting on your body since the day you stopped work, or the day you took leaveWhy rest hasn't been working, and what has to shift before your body can actually repairFREE CHATGPT PROMPTClick here to download my FREE ChatGPT prompt that helps connect your real physical symptoms to the emotional patterns that may be underneath them in 30 seconds!For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

“We push through, but sometimes we push too hard, too long, too often.” - Candice GuardinoIt's so easy for painful periods to become part of a family story. Your mother had them, your aunts had them, your great-grandmother had them. Throughout, everyone learned to keep going, show up for work, take care of the family, and not make too much of it. While we should be proud of that strength, normalizing pushing through the pain makes it much harder to recognize when pain is not normal and when a different level of care is what's needed.The same family dynamics tend to come back into play with fertility treatment. The questions, opinions, encouragement, and advice probably come from a loving place, but they add pressure to an already exhausting process. As women's health practitioners, we have to consider what our clients are navigating outside our treatment rooms. Are their symptoms being minimized at home? Do they feel like they can ask for help? Are they avoiding family because they don't want to explain another unsuccessful IVF cycle? Having these conversations with our patients and clients can help us better understand the support she actually needs.In today's episode, I'm joined by author, actor, and comedian Candice Guardino to talk about the family and cultural dynamics that shaped her experiences with endometriosis and infertility. Candice shares how years of painful periods were normalized, what it was like to continue performing through chronic pain and IVF treatment, why receiving an endometriosis diagnosis changed the way she understood her body, managing miscarriage, the emotional and financial strain of fertility treatment, finding a more individualized approach to IVF, how practitioners can help women feel less alone, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/the-family-dynamics-of-endometriosis-and-ivf-with-candice-guardino/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

An endometriosis advocacy group is praising New Zealand's commitment to finally easing the diagnosis burden. The Government's launching new criteria mid-next year, supporting GPs to make the diagnosis and treat it immediately. At the moment, women are waiting a decade to be diagnosed. World Endometriosis Society Senior Ambassador Deborah Bush told Mike Hosking advocates have been working in this space for years. She says this guideline will bridge the diagnosis gap and provide an opportunity to bring together our world leading programmes and services.

You've been waiting for the right doctor, the right protocol, the right person to finally fix you. What if the problem was never that you haven't found them yet?There's a belief almost every woman with chronic illness carries about how healing happens, and it quietly hands control of your body to everyone but you.

Could a simple blood test help identify endometriosis before you spend years being told you have "unexplained infertility"? Endometriosis is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of fertility challenges, and many women spend a decade or more looking for answers with their doctors. Sadly, some patients are diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" when endometriosis may actually be part of the picture. This can lead to delays in treatment and pregnancy.   As you know, I always say "diagnosis before treatment." The frustrating thing is that doctors often have a blind spot around endometriosis because the traditional way to confirm it has been through laparoscopic surgery, which is an outpatient procedure. Plus, some doctors are dismissive of endo, and don't insist on patients getting tested. The good news is that fertility specialists now have another tool in the toolbox: a non-invasive blood test called HerResolve.  In this episode, I'm joined by reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Mary Peavey of Atlantic Fertility in Raleigh, North Carolina, to talk about how this new test works, who may benefit from it, and whether it could help patients get the right diagnosis, the right treatment, and potentially get to pregnancy faster. It's truly an exciting discussion and breakthrough, and I am delighted to share it with you. In this episode, we cover: - What endometriosis is and why it can be an important factor in infertility - How even mild or "silent" endometriosis can affect egg quality, embryo development, implantation, ovarian reserve, and inflammation - Why endometriosis is often underdiagnosed or mistaken for unexplained infertility, and why women can go years without answers - Why laparoscopic surgery has historically been central to endometriosis diagnosis and how that can contribute to diagnostic delays - How HerResolve works and how this non-invasive blood test may help clinicians identify patients who may have endometriosis - How identifying endometriosis may help guide fertility treatment decisions, including treatment after failed embryo transfers - When patients with unexplained infertility or suspected endometriosis may want to ask their fertility doctor about testing and evaluation Resources Read the show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Atlantic Fertility's website HerResolve endometriosis blood test by HerAnova The Egg Whisperer Show - Subscribe on YouTube The Egg Whisperer Show on Spotify Would you like to learn more about IVF?

Hormones can have a profound impact on mental health, influencing everything from mood, anxiety, and sleep to depression, agitation, and more severe psychiatric symptoms.In this episode, Dr. Alice Lee and Emily explore the hidden connection between hormone imbalance and mental health from a holistic psychiatry perspective. They discuss how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, neurotransmitters, inflammation, gut health, liver function, and detoxification pathways may all interact and affect emotional and psychological well-being.Emily also shares her personal journey with endometriosis, chronic pain, inflammation, psychiatric medication withdrawal, and the process of understanding how hormonal health can influence both physical and mental symptoms.Topics discussed in this episode include:• How hormone imbalance may affect mental health• The relationship between hormones and neurotransmitters• Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and mood• Hormonal changes and anxiety, depression, mania, and psychosis• Endometriosis, chronic inflammation, and mental well-being• Gut health, liver function, and hormone metabolism• The connection between stress, trauma, and hormonal regulation• Endocrine disruptors and everyday environmental exposures• Diet, inflammation, and holistic approaches to health• Looking for underlying causes instead of focusing only on symptomsDr. Lee also shares clinical observations that led her to look more closely at hormonal health in patients experiencing significant changes in psychiatric symptoms.This conversation highlights an important idea: mental health does not exist separately from the rest of the body. Hormones, the nervous system, immune function, inflammation, gut health, and physical wellbeing can all be deeply interconnected.Whether you are dealing with hormone imbalance, anxiety, depression, endometriosis, chronic inflammation, or simply want to better understand the relationship between hormones and the brain, this episode offers a thought provoking holistic perspective.Learn more about Dr. Alice Lee and explore additional holistic psychiatry articles, podcasts, and resources at holisticpsychiatrist.com.If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a five-star rating, and share it with someone who may find this conversation helpful.

Send us Fan MailMost people think endometriosis means debilitating period pain. But what if you had no pain at all — and endometriosis was still quietly damaging your fertility? Silent endometriosis is real, it is more common than anyone is told, and infertility is often the first and sometimes the only sign that it even exists.In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur walks through exactly what silent endometriosis is, why it is so consistently missed, and what a thorough clinical evaluation looks like for women with unexplained infertility and no pain. Through Brooke's story — a 30-year-old with regular cycles, no period pain, and 14 months of unexplained infertility — you will see how a complete evaluation can find what standard workups routinely miss, and what becomes possible when it does.You will learn:Why pain severity does not correlate with disease severity — and why up to 50% of women with infertility and NO PAIN have endometriosis when thoroughly evaluatedWhat silent endometriosis actually looks like on a cycle chart and in subtle symptoms that are almost never connected to endometriosis in conventional careWhy surgical excision — not ablation, not birth control, and not IVF — is the treatment that changes outcomes for most women with endometriosis and infertilityIf you have been labeled with unexplained infertility and endometriosis has never been considered — this episode will change how you think about your next step.

Happy Wednesday! As you'll no doubt know by now, the three of us have been off the EIClock for the last couple of weeks for our yearly break- and we've been using the opportunity to dig through the archives and re-release some old favs, all timers & under-appreciated gems.This week we're going back two years to when the three of us got to together to discuss fertility, PCOS and egg freezing. Back in 2024 the actress Florence Pugh opened up about having her endometriosis diagnosis dismissed by a doctor and it made us want to dive deeper into women's healthcare. Why do so many of us feel alone, in pain and under-informed when it comes to what is happening with our reproductive and gynaecological care?

There's a habit you can't break even though you know it's not good for you, and you've decided that makes you undisciplined. It doesn't…Every behavior you can't seem to quit is serving a hidden purpose, and that purpose is the reason it won't budge. For women with chronic illness, this is one of the emotional patterns shaping whether the body ever gets the conditions it needs to heal, and no protocol is built to find it. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I'd coach you through breaking one.In this episode, you'll discover:The real reason you reach for your phone, skip the appointment, or push past your limit, and why it was never about willpower or discipline.You'll learn how each of these behaviors is serving a purpose for you.And we'll get into how to uncover that hidden goal and meet the need a different way, one that serves you and your healing instead of working against it.Use my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

That flash of feeling you get when someone else's life looks easier than yours has a name, and it probably isn't the one you think.For women with chronic illness, watching other people move through the world without managing a body first can bring up something sharp, and most women judge themselves for it and push it straight back down.

It points, with real precision, at what you actually want your life to look like.In this mini, you'll discover:The difference between jealousy and envy, and why naming it correctly changes everythingWhy envy is a signal worth listening to instead of a feeling to be ashamed ofThe simple way to trace that feeling back to what you actually want, and reach a version of it nowMy free ChatGPT prompt connects your physical symptoms to the emotional patterns underneath them in under 30 seconds, free for now.

22-year-old Danielle McElroy has severe endometriosis. It has gotten so bad that she has recently lost the ability to walk.Danielle is largely confined to bed as she cannot wash, dress or move herself without help…She joins Andrea to share her story.

One-third of endometriosis patients have been advised by their doctors to get pregnant to relieve their symptoms. That's according to a survey of more than 600, carried out as part of a research project by Endometriosis New Zealand and the University of Canterbury. An estimated 120,000 people in New Zealand have the condition, which can cause fertility problems, irregular periods, and pain. Endometriosis New Zealand chief executive Tanya Cooke spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Every day, millions of Americans eat fresh produce and swim in local pools completely unaware that a quiet Cyclospora parasite is hiding in the food and water supply.

What if the reason your healing has stalled has almost nothing to do with your food, your gut or your hormones?For women with chronic illness, an estimated 95% of illness is caused or made worse by stress, which means the emotional patterns and emotional load you carry sit at the centre of the mind body connection and your physical symptoms. Obsessing over the physical while leaving that untouched is why the progress never quite comes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why focusing only on the physical leaves isn't ever going to get you the progress you want.How your emotional load creates real, measurable effects in the body that drive symptoms.Why the emotional side feels harder to reach than any protocol, and what actually helps.Now She Heals is a four-month healing experience where we dive into the emotional drivers fueling your chronic illness symptoms and I help you identify, process and release them.

SYNOPSIS:What does it mean to experience yourself as a fertile body? And what happens when your body doesn't seem to be cooperating with your deepest hopes?In this wide-ranging conversation, Ali speaks with Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa about fertility as far more than a medical diagnosis. Together they explore the meaning we attach to parenthood, the relationship between fertility and creativity, the impact of trauma and relationships on reproductive health, and why infertility is never simply "a women's issue."Gabriela shares her evidence-based, integrative approach to fertility, explaining how removing obstacles to health often allows the body's innate intelligence to do what it already knows how to do. Along the way, they discuss IVF, implantation, sperm health, miscarriage, Family Constellation Work, embodiment, and the profound question of how we learn to trust the intelligence of our bodies – even when it seems to be saying "not yet."Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, considering parenthood, or simply curious about the body's remarkable capacity for intelligence and healing, this conversation offers a deeply humane perspective on one of life's most meaningful journeys.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider one of the podcast's central questions: What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as a problem to solve and begin discovering the body's innate intelligence?To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on renowned Family Constellation Facilitator, Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE GABRIELA ROSA: BIO:Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Candidate, Harvard), is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, and author of Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage When Other Treatments Have Failed.

Why does your mind keep dragging you back to a moment from your past you can't change, and what is it doing to your body?For women with chronic illness, this kind of replaying is one of the emotional patterns most closely tied to physical symptoms, and it sits right at the heart of the mind body connection. Every time you go back and analyse what you should have said or done differently, your body produces a real physical response to something that is already over, keeping you trapped in a state of dis-ease your healing can't move past.In this episode, you'll discover:Why revisiting a moment from your past that you can't change takes a real physical toll on a body already dealing with chronic illness.How going back to that moment again and again drives your symptoms and your flares.One simple shift that breaks the loop and takes the physical load off your body.Becoming the Version of You Who Heals is my private 7-day audio series that helps you to rewire the mindset and identity keeping you stuck in chronic illness.

The way women with chronic illness talk about their bodies out loud is quietly reinforcing the emotional patterns underneath their symptoms and it feels like nothing more than telling the truth.“I'm so tired.” “My body hates me.” “I'm a mess.” You have said these lines so many times you no longer hear them leave your mouth. But a thought you keep to yourself can pass, while a thought you speak out loud gets stamped deeper into your reality every single time.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the way you speak about your body out loud reinforces it far more than the thoughts you keep to yourselfThe difference between acknowledging a symptom and broadcasting it, and why one passes while the other sticksOne phrase to retire this week that quietly stops feeding the patternUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns behind your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. So seems like a good time to review our previous episode on it as we prep for a formal update on why the name change happened. Also, we hear Danielle's voice for the first time!!   Robyn Flynn joins Chris to talk about polycystic ovarian syndrome. More common than most people realize and with more far-reaching implications than it would initially seem. It can impact fertility, cardiovascular health, and according to Robyn is more painful than childbirth?!? We're going to have to look into that one.   You can also check out Robyn's podcast, Rebel Mom Boss https://open.spotify.com/show/4uMAsJS9ySR47iGYw8ExDo?si=bc68ddfcb0bd4f3f   Become a supporter of our show today either on Patreon or through PayPal!

How many times have you decided you were going to heal?Really decided. Made the plan, committed with everything you had, followed through with real discipline. And still watched the progress fail to show up, no matter how much you were doing.For most women with chronic illness, the emotional patterns driving their symptoms are running somewhere they have never been able to reach. That is why consciously deciding to change them has never quite been enough. Almost everything shaping how your body responds is operating below the part of you making the decision and it has been shaping the outcome this whole time you have been trying to get well.In this episode, you'll discover:Why almost every thought you have about yourself and your body today is one you've already hadWhy taking conscious steps and intentional action toward healing can feel like you're not moving or progressing, no matter how committed you are to itWhat it takes to reach the part of your mind that's been subconsciously impacting your healing journey the whole timeCLICK HERE to learn more about my 7-day audio series, Becoming the Version of You Who Heals.For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

Endometriosis care is about so much more than surgery.In this episode, Nicole sits down with endometriosis excision surgeon Dr. Mallory Stuparich for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to care for patients living with endometriosis.We discuss: The role of pelvic PT before and after surgery  Setting realistic expectations for recovery  Central sensitization and persistent pain  Imaging, inflammation, and recurrence  Why multidisciplinary care leads to better outcomes But one message stood above everything else:Our first job is to rebuild trust.Many patients with endometriosis have spent years feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or told their symptoms were normal. Before we can guide them toward healing, we have to help them feel seen, heard, and believed.Whether you're part of the surgical team or the rehabilitation team, that trust is where recovery begins. About Dr. Mallory StuparichDr. Mallory Stuparich is a fellowship-trained gynecologic surgeon specializing in advanced endometriosis excision surgery, adenomyosis, and complex pelvic pain.

In this episode, Renato explores endometriosis and adenomyosis, explaining what these conditions are, why they often go undiagnosed for years despite affecting millions of women worldwide, and how advances in MRI and specialized ultrasound are transforming diagnosis beyond traditional surgical laparoscopy. He discusses the decision-making process behind hormonal therapy versus surgery, how treatment strategies change when fertility preservation is a priority, and where IVF fits into the care pathway for women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or age-related fertility decline. Renato also examines the profound effects of female age on egg quality and quantity, including the accelerating rise in chromosomal abnormalities after age 35, highlights common mistakes in both surgical and fertility management, and shares promising developments on the horizon for treating these conditions and preserving fertility.
