This EndoLife

From the best surgery to natural therapies, This EndoLife Podcast empowers you to live and thrive with endometriosis and its co-conditions through a holistic, functional medicine approach.

I’m covering all the topics that often aren’t discussed in the doctor’s office, whether that’s how to eat well for endometriosis, how to treat the endo belly or just what exactly is SIBO? Come join myself (and my guests!) as we dive into anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut health, hormones, pain science, mental health, sex, energy and living life well with endo.
