January can often be the hardest time for those of us with endometriosis. The joys and delights of December for many menstruators can cause hormonal issues come January, and for those of us with endometriosis, it can be even more problematic. Instead of diving in headfirst with a hard-core challenge, I'd prefer to offer you some solutions that are gentle on the body, mind and spirit - because honestly, I think it's unsustainable for us to have to jump into a completely new health routine as soon...

Whilst like many people, I’m a bit over the whole ‘new year, new me’ message, I do like to start the year feeling well and focused. Now that does look a little bit different for me versus what you’d expect for January. I actually don’t love the whole drinking cold smoothies, juice cleansing and going out for early morning jobs in Jan. I don’t believe that’s what my body wants. It’s always felt quite jarring for me, that we’re yanked from the dead of winter into a routine that is better suited to...

So today’s episode is a replay whilst I record with my next batch of exciting guests! But I actually think this replay is necessary… This podcast episode isn’t very old, it only came out in June 2022, but this time of year is full of messages about health, wellness, goals, resolutions, etc. and whilst I of course encourage healthy habits and lifestyle changes, doing this sustainably and in a way that we enjoy and that fits our lives is important. If we try to do everything all at once and hold o...

In this episode, mindfulness teacher Kate McGoey takes us through a calming meditation for endometriosis. Christmas was just a few days ago and New Year’s Eve is at the end of the week. Often, the stress, busyness and certain foods like a little extra chocolate or alcohol, can trigger pain flares. The festive period can be one of the hardest times to experience a pain flare, so today I’m resharing a meditation for pain by Kate McGoey. This meditation is short but sweet, and is actually taken fro...

Dr. Stephanie Harrod is a doctor of physical therapy specialising in women’s health - in particular, endometriosis. In her patients, she often sees endo alongside SIBO and interstitial cystitis, but also hypermobility/EDS and POTS. Stephanie saw these patterns in so many patients, that she began developing protocols to support people with endo not just with their pelvic health and pelvic pain, but with all of these co-conditions, that often have an impact on endo and overall health. In today’s e...

Did you know that ADHD has been linked to patients with joint hypermobility, pain and dysautonomia? Given that endometriosis is now being associated more and more with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders, as well as POTS and dysautonomia, that means that there could be a reasonable percentage of people with endo also living with ADHD. So today on the podcast, I’m joined by Adele Wimsett to discuss this topic further. Adele Wimsett is a Women’s Health Practitio...

This week’s episode is a replay as my guest for this week has had to postpone (but they’ll be on very soon)! I thought I’d continue on the theme of improving your period pain with endo, and wanted to share some of the best foods for lowering inflammation and supporting a healthy cycle. Of course, please avoid the foods that you know you react to and don’t tolerate. Every body is different and so just because a food is shown to be anti-inflammatory, that doesn’t mean it’s right for you. As most o...

This week’s episode is a replay as I am busy welcoming my new course students! I’ve had some amazing client wins in the past week - three clients had a dramatic reduction in pain and an increase in cycle regularity, with two actually going out on Day 1 of their periods to parties and social dinners! So it inspired me to share with you all ways to improve your period, and one of the go-to techniques I use with clients is pulling together a little pre-period toolkit which helps them to reduce infl...

You may remember back in late August I was promoting an event I was speaking at; the wonderful IC Retreat, a virtual 3 day event hosted by Joana Bartlett - all about empowering IC patients with tools, knowledge and support. My presentation was a deep dive into the connection between interstitial cystitis, endometriosis and SIBO and how to manage these conditions together.

We are on the go again this week, preparing for our temporary return to the UK before we head to Sweden for December, so today’s episode is a replay - but one that I think is really relevant because I know so many of you struggle with this. Today I am resharing a very old episode about my story of beginning to change my diet and lifestyle for endometriosis when I first started on this journey, and how I went full throttle and burnt myself out - and then how I scaled back and made changes more su...

We have just arrived in France after a 10 hour journey in 34 degree heat! Wow, was that intense! We’re now getting into our work routine but because we’ve been journeying, I have to squeeze my clients into one day, so can’t record a new episode this week. Instead, I’m reshaping an old episode which is literally providing you with my step-by-step protocol for endometriosis management and healing. I’ve developed this approach after spending seven years working with the endo community and on my own...

We are moving (to France!) and so today’s episode is a replay of a very early episode, that some of you may have not yet listened to! I see chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation a lot in our community - so I really encourage you to listen to this episode because healing is more than nutrition and supplements. If you were eating a totally anti-inflammatory diet but you were experiencing chronic stress, would that have an impact on your pain levels? My answer? It’s very, very likely. The...
