Episode 51: The Last Great Female Health Taboo + What You Can Do About It With Shannon Cohn Of Endo What?

Surprise! New podcast. I know we never release mid-week, but this topic and guest were too important not to share right away. 

I’m talking with filmmaker Shannon Cohn about Endo What?, her new documentary. This new film not only gives all the facts and information that your doctor never told you about endometriosis, but encourages and inspires women to be more empowered with their healthcare choices to treat it. And it is beyond powerful. 

Shannon and I discuss why more women with endometriosis aren’t diagnosed sooner, how her own battle with the disease inspired her to make this film, the impact environmental toxins play with endo, the number one diet change you can make to possibly help manage endo symptoms, and why women’s below-the-waist health issues are the last great health taboo.
