June 10, 2024 21:27 - 28 minutesMaybe your periods are better, your chronic pelvis pain is better, things are improving. But after a few months, the endo belly comes back. Or maybe you get it for the first time ever. You’re bloated all the time or maybe you bloat badly after meals, or maybe it gets worse over the day? Perhaps it’s also accompanied by IBS issues like constipation, gas, or loose stools. If any of this sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Whilst surgery is essential for many people, it doesn’t come withou...
REPLAY: Endo Belly? A Plea to Get Tested for Coeliac Disease - and Six Surprising Symptoms
May 31, 2024 18:36 - 22 minutesToday on the show I am talking about one of the possible root causes of your endo belly – coeliac disease. Now, before you turn this podcast off because you think you don’t react to gluten, I am literally begging you to listen. I have noticed a trend in my clients to dismiss coeliac disease as a possibility, because they don’t have immediate reactions after gluten. But – here’s the thing, the reactions from gluten are not always obvious and they don’t always happen straight away. So, if you’...

May 10, 2024 07:00 - 1 hourYou 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. I was so proud of this presentation and felt so passionately that everyone should have this info, that I asked Joana if I ...

REPLAY: Four At-Home Ways to Boost Your Migrating Motor Complex If You Have Endo Belly or SIBO
April 26, 2024 19:12 - 20 minutesWe are taking a short season break, so in the meantime, I’m revisiting some old episodes that have been asked about or requested over on Instagram. Enjoy and see you soon with some new episodes! The migrating motor complex is a wave like emotion that occurs in the small intestine, not large, between meals and overnight. This wave motion clears out any old food debris and bacteria once food has already passed through into the large intestine, so basically, see the MMC as the washing up, once ...
How to Optimise Digestion for Less Endo Belly
April 21, 2024 09:33 - 26 minutesToday we’re doing another clip from my course, Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 as I am still getting over covid and what has turned out to be several of the most stressful days I’ve ever experienced (more on that another time). During the past couple of days, I’ve not had access to the internet and so I wasn’t able to share that the course doors were closing for enrolment or even actually close the doors, so if you want to sigh up, you still can. I’m likely going to leave the doors open until S...
Your Brain, Pain and the Vagus Nerve
April 13, 2024 09:03 - 36 minutesToday I have an exciting episode for you!

Stuck With Endo? Here’s Your Roadmap
April 06, 2024 21:17 - 1 hourSo today, as you’ll be able to hear in this intro, I am pretty damn sick, so I cannot record a full episode for you.

For this masterclass, you’re going to need to get comfy and grab a note book and a pen because we’re literally going to be designing your endo management plan. This masterclass is much better when you’re joining live as you get the interactive component and the slides, etc. but you can still...
My Number One Endo Management Strategy

Endo Q&A: How to Manage Endo Fatigue and Brain Fog

So, that’s what this week’s episode is.

High and Low Oestrogen Levels and How to Test Correctly
March 09, 2024 08:07 - 27 minutesThis week we’re staying on our theme of hormone testing and we’re looking at oestrogen. There are a number of signs to look out for with oestrogen dominance or excess, and they pretty much all fall under the PMS umbrella, but here are a few tale-tell signs that I often see with clients. If you’ve noticed symptoms of hormonal imbalances but you’d like some help working it out all out, I wanted to let you know I have two one on one coaching spaces becoming available in the next several weeks....
Low Progesterone Signs and How to Test
March 01, 2024 20:59 - 24 minutes(Trigger warning: This episode discusses infertility) Okay so this week we’re moving onto hormones and how to test for them. Today, we’re beginning with one that I see a lot of my clients having problems with and that’s low progesterone. I did a progesterone 101 a year or two ago which covered everything from what progesterone is, to what it does in the body and signs of it being too low or too high, but let’s do a recap of some classic low progesterone symptoms. Read more. Need more help or...

Low B12 and Endometriosis
February 16, 2024 17:07 - 27 minutesA week or two ago and I did an episode about low vitamin D levels and the symptoms that can disguise themselves as endo symptoms or endo related issues, and today, I want to talk about low B12 and how it can affect our population. So, let’s get straight to it and look at common B12 symptoms and how we may mistake them for endo problems… Read more. Need more help or want to learn how to work with me?

REPLAY: What is The Menstrual Cycle and How to Know If Yours is Healthy
February 09, 2024 15:33 - 28 minutesToday’s episode is a replay as I have been in and out of hospital all week undergoing testing for coeliac disease and chronic appendicitis. As you can imagine, these appointments have eaten into both my time and energy, so I am resharing an old episode today! One that I think provides you with a great foundations for the rest of the year. Today I am resharing my episode about what you should look for in a healthy menstrual cycle, even with endometriosis (because just because you have endo, do...
Signs You’re Low in Vitamin D and How it Affects Endo
February 02, 2024 18:21 - 19 minutesRecently, I’ve had a lot of low levels or deficiencies show up with clients. Many of them were experiencing low moods, cyclical pain or heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, heart palpitations, aching muscles, and overall feelings of inflammation. Whilst yes, these can all be due to or linked to endometriosis, we have to be careful about blaming everything on endo and not investigating these kind of situations further. In some of these cases, I suspected low iron and in others low vitamin D, or ...
Why Your Endo May Be Worse in January
January 26, 2024 20:22 - 25 minutesToday’s episode is continuing with the theme of why some of your conditions may be worse in January, and today, we’re focusing on endometriosis. Before we get into it, this is a short episode where I am giving you an overview of some of the ways these things can affect people with endo, but it’s not an exhaustive list. In fact, each of these topic areas could have their own episode with a deep dive into how the science works in regards to hormones, inflammation, liver function and so on, but ...
Why Your PMDD May Be Worse in January
January 19, 2024 13:41 - 31 minutesIt’s a New Year and perhaps you’re feeling the pressure to get up and go, but you can’t get yourself out of bed. Maybe you’re in more pain than usual, perhaps you’re more depressed than usual or maybe you’re experiencing extreme fatigue and energy crashes? If this is you, please know you’re not alone. As I return to work, I’ve received many emails from endometriosis clients telling me their symptoms are worse and they’re panicked, but I’ve also had friends and endo clients who struggle with P...
REPLAY: New Year Meditation for Endometriosis
January 12, 2024 16:22 - 35 minutesWith a new year beginning, I am resharing a very old meditation episode. This episode is a visualisation meditation to help you envision how you want to feel in 2024. I use this visualisation exercise with every one of my clients, to help them see the big picture they want for their health and then to take that big picture and break it down into small, attainable goals. I also use this meditation with course students and with anyone who comes to my free workshops, so you may very well know i...
Signs You’re Low in Iron and What to Look For on Blood Tests
January 04, 2024 06:00 - 16 minutesI am seeing a bit of a growing trend with my clients and students – and that’s low iron levels. But they’re not alone. Iron deficiency or low iron levels are extremely common, in fact, iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, with menstruators being one of the most affected groups. The problem with this, is that low iron levels are often disregarded as not a big deal, because the problem is so pervasive, yet low iron levels can significantly affect our ...
REPLAY: Aamina's Story: Overcoming Ovulation Pain, Leg Pain, Nausea and Vomiting with Endo
December 28, 2023 06:00 - 31 minutesThis festive season, I wanted to reshare a good news story for those of you suffering with pain and symptoms over the Christmas or New Year holidays, or for whatever reason, struggle with this time of year. I know sometimes it can feel hopeless, and that’s why I love to share these client stories: because they offer hope, they show us what’s possible, they give us faith. In this conversation, Aamina, who is one of my past Live and Thrive with Endo course students and a current membership mem...
How to Minimise Sugar Impact This Festive Season
December 21, 2023 06:00 - 15 minutesThe Christmas season is typically, a time of excess for those who celebrate – and even for those who don’t, New Year’s is right around the corner. For many people, we increase our intake of sugar, alcohol, processed foods, etc. and that’s okay – this episode isn’t about judgement. I love Christmas, including all the food that comes with it, but for many of us, the result can be more pain and a worse period come January, due to heightened inflammation levels. So today’s episode is all about ho...
How to Minimise Alcohol Impact This Festive Season
December 14, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesToday I want to talk about alcohol and the holiday season. I think most of us listening will be increasing alcohol intake over the new few weeks, and the reality is, alcohol does have an impact on our hormones and inflammation levels, setting the stage for lower progesterone levels, increased oestrogen levels and more inflammation. These can all result in more PMS, more oestrogen dominant symptoms like heavy and clotty periods and sore breasts, and lastly, higher inflammation levels equals mo...
Why I Don’t Recommend Rushing Into an Elimination Diet for Endo
December 08, 2023 19:51 - 14 minutesThis episode is a bite size episode – so expect practical tips and easy to digest information, without all the deep dive science. If you’re after more information, I’ve linked to some further reading in the show notes. Today I want to do a bite size episode on elimination diets – specifically, why I don’t recommend rushing into them straight away. Read more.

Low Stomach Acid and Endometriosis: Four Common Symptoms
December 01, 2023 20:19 - 12 minutesToday is a super quick episode, as I wanted to give you guys a bit more of a bite size one as I know some of you have been loving those. And just a reminder, these bitesize episodes are not heavy and full of information and research, but I will link to a couple of extra episodes for further information if you want to do a deeper dive. So today, I want to talk about stomach acid and endometriosis. You might be wondering what the hell stomach acid has to do with endo, but low stomach acid, is a...
REPLAY: Sarah's Story - From Full Body Pain and Fatigue to a Full Life with Energy
November 25, 2023 18:24 - 33 minutesToday’s episode is a replay for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve been on the road for four days heading to Italy so I’ve not been able to record a new episode this week, and secondly, I’m having a Black Friday Course Bundle Sale, and so if you’re wondering whether these courses could help you, I thought I’d share a success story from one of my course students. Before we head to the episode, I wanted to share some details about my Black Friday Course Bundle Sale. You get a year’s access to all thr...
How to Manage Your Endo and Take Action During a Humanitarian Crisis
November 17, 2023 17:00 - 30 minutesToday’s episode is one I’ve been mulling over for a while. The situation between Israel and Palestine has divided the world, and I didn’t want to add my voice to just basically add another voice into the chaos. I wanted to do something that felt useful and relevant - and so today’s episode, is part of that. Today I want to talk about ways to manage a humanitarian crisis when you’re already suffering so much with endo and your own health. Read more. Show Notes Sleep and HPA axis https://end...
Listener Question: How Do I Reduce Endo Belly Bloating?
November 10, 2023 08:45 - 25 minutesOkay, so this week’s listener question is “How do I reduce bloating in the moment?”. So, this person is looking for short-term strategies for when bloating kicks in. Now, before I answer this, what I want us to consider is why the bloating is happening in the first place. There is always a root cause and so the key to long-term relief with the endo belly, is to work out the root cause of your endo belly. It might be SIBO, gut dysbiosis which is an imbalance of bacteria in your intestines, it...
REPLAY: Endometriosis and Fibroids with Arin Nicole
November 03, 2023 15:04 - 1 hourToday’s episode is a replay because… I have covid! Yes, you may have noticed we didn’t release an episode last week and we just didn’t have a choice in the matter, neither of us were well enough to even put out a replay and I had no voice, so I couldn’t even record an intro. In this episode, I’m interviewing Arin Nicole, who you may know better as Moonli on Instagram. Arin is a functional hormone and endometriosis nutritionist with a particular interest in working with women and uterus owners...
Why You May Be Waking Up at 2AM Each Night
October 19, 2023 19:07 - 19 minutesMany clients come to me for their endometriosis symptoms, often pain, bloating or menstrual irregularities, but when we work together, we look at the bigger picture and explore all of their symptoms, not just the classic endo ones, as it can give us more info about what’s going on. And when we do this, much of the time, sleep problems come up – especially waking up in the early hours of the morning. So, if you’re someone who suffers with insomnia or night waking, today’s episode may be helpfu...
Listener Question: Are Flaxseeds Bad for Endo?
October 11, 2023 12:42 - 20 minutesListener question: “Is flaxseed good or bad for endo? There is so much mixed info out there about it around increasing / decreasing eostrogen. Is there a better type of flaxseed - oil, roasted seeds, ground seeds, tablets high in flax?” Okay, I’m glad you asked this question because it comes up a lot and it’s not a straightforward answer. Flax is a type of phytoestrogen. A phytoestrogen is a type of plant compound which chemically is similar to oestrogen but isn’t a form of oestrogen and due ...
REPLAY: How Hormones Impact ADHD, and the Link Between ADHD, EDS, and Dysautonomia and Pain Syndromes with Adele Wimsett
October 06, 2023 14:16 - 53 minutesWe’ve been travelling from Montenegro to Romania and unfortunately this combination of a busy period and a new environment has really kicked off my POTS and MCAS and so I haven’t been able to record my episode this week. So, today I am resharing my interview with Adele Wimsett, who is talking to us about ADHD and the connection with endometriosis. As I have about 60% of clients diagnosed with ADHD, I thought this was worth raising up this feed, in case you’re also struggling. So, let’s get to...
REPLAY: PCOS, Blood Sugar, and Endometriosis with Megan Hallett
September 28, 2023 19:48 - 1 hourAs some of you may know, September is PCOS Awareness Month. So, before we move into October, I want to wrap this month up with a replay of one of my favourite interviews with registered nutritional therapist, Megan Hallett. I’ll leave the old intro in as it gives you a dive into Megan and her work, but one of the reasons why I wanted to share this episode is because we’ve been talking a lot about blood sugar on the show lately and in this episode, Megan shares how to eat for blood sugar balan...
Listener Question: Can I Eat Porridge When Eating for Endo?
September 21, 2023 15:51 - 26 minutesSo, as you know, I (and many other practitioners) use blood sugar regulation and anti-inflammatory nutrition to help manage endo. Today’s episode isn’t about that, but to give you context, we do this because blood sugar imbalances drive up inflammation and therefore pain, they can trigger hormonal imbalances and they can worsen fatigue. In terms of inflammation, pain is a symptom of chronic and heightened inflammation and inflammation is the key driver of pain with endo, and we can actually i...
Can Snacking Worsen the Endo Belly?
September 14, 2023 12:07 - 24 minutesIs snacking ‘bad’ for endo belly? I had a client recently ask me this and she’s not alone. Many who come to me for chronic endo belly, are worried that their snacking habits are making things worse. So, is snacking a problem? It’s a tricky question to answer… Let’s start with what happens to the gut when we snack. Between meals, two hours after you’ve eaten, a cleaning process is switched on so to speak, in your small intestine. The small intestine should only house food for about two hours,...
My Struggles Travelling with Dysautonomia and MCAS
September 04, 2023 10:43 - 35 minutesToday I am sharing a personal experience podcast, in the hopes that it might help you. Social media in summer is full of people’s holiday pictures and I think for people with chronic illness, that can be quite isolating because we may not be able to travel or travelling can be hard to navigate. I’ve been sharing some of my videos and pictures of our travelling recently, and I’ve noticed that a lot of people make assumptions about what that means – they assume I’m well, happy and in a good pla...
Improving Fertility Outcomes with Endo with Dr. Amy Beckley
August 28, 2023 09:17 - 56 minutesToday’s episode is all about improving fertility outcomes with endo with Dr. Amy Beckley.

After Amy experienced multiple miscarriages and three years of infertility, Amy applied her own science expertise to her fertility struggles and with the help of her doctor, Amy was able to get pregnant with her daughter.

REPLAY: 10 Strategies for Painful Sex with Endometriosis
August 24, 2023 05:00 - 35 minutesToday’s episode is a repost as I am off on annual leave this week and a client’s experience with painful sex has inspired me to share this episode with you. This episode is a follow on episode from my ‘Root Causes of Painful Sex’ podcast, so if you’re interested in learning more about that, I’ve linked in the show notes. Of course, this episode already has an intro so I’m not going to intro the intro - I’ll just let you get to it! I hope you find this episode helpful. TRIGGER WARNING: This po...
Three Essential Strategies for a Healthier Microbiome and Less Endo Belly
August 11, 2023 17:40 - 20 minutesIf you’re a long-time listener of the show, you’ll know that endo belly – that classic bloating many of us get – is not just caused by endometriosis itself, but it is often the result of co-conditions and complications that people with endo face, such as small intestine bacterial overgrowth and microbiome imbalances. Gut dysbiosis, which means an imbalance of the bacteria in our gut, has been found in the research in people and animals with endometriosis. Whilst some more drastic measures ca...
Three Ways to Avoid a Flare Up on Holiday
August 04, 2023 16:56 - 19 minutesIt’s August and some of us will be heading off on our holidays, but a big concern for many of with endo, is whether we will have a flare up or our period whilst on holiday. Typically, on holiday, inflammation levels will rise; we may be drinking more, sleeping less, eating less veggies and eating more sugar – all scenarios that have been shown to raise inflammation levels and unfortunately, inflammation is a key driver of endo and menstrual pain, and pain in general. Now, whilst it is never, ...
Acupuncture for Endo - Can It Really Help?
July 26, 2023 14:24 - 14 minutesToday’s short solo episode is another one that I hope will provide you with some practical tools for living well with endo, today I want to briefly talk about acupuncture. Now, I am not an acupuncturist, so I am not an expert, but as a certified endometriosis health coach, it is a type of alternative therapy that I often recommend to clients, especially when they are struggling with pain and are looking for a tool kit of modalities to help reduce it over time. So, let’s first talk about what...
Three Types of Food to Eat to Support the Liver and Improve Oestrogen Metabolism
July 21, 2023 16:42 - 13 minutesSo, if you’ve been listening to my podcast for a while now, you’ll know that the proper balance of oestrogen and progesterone can significantly help manage endometriosis symptoms. Not only is endo an oestrogen dependent disease, but the symptoms of oestrogen dominance can look a lot like what we associate with endo symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, clots, cramps and bloating. Oestrogen excess put very simply, is when we have too much oestrogen circulating in our body, whereas oestrogen domina...
Are NSAIDs Causing Your Endo Belly?
July 14, 2023 14:30 - 16 minutesMany of us with endo have what we call ‘endo belly’, that swollen, distended abdomen. For some of us, endo belly can be constant, or it can come with a flare up and may also be accompanied by IBS issues like gas, nausea, diarrhoea or constipation. Whilst you’ve heard me say over and over again that the endo belly is likely caused by gut issues like low stomach acid and digestive enzymes, microbiome imbalances and SIBO (as well of course, inflammation from endo itself), there’s also another cu...
How to Choose the Right Supplements for Your Endo Symptoms
July 06, 2023 13:56 - 19 minutesSomething I hear a lot of people struggling with is the overwhelming amount of supplement options out there. Many of us don’t know which ones to choose, which ones can help us personally and how and when to take them, and how long for. As a result, when I meet clients some of them are on double figures of supplements, and others have given up taking any entirely. So, today I wanted to share this tip when choosing supplements. Find 1-4 supplements and choose ones that can target multiple sympt...
How to Eat Your Carbs Without the Blood Sugar Spike for Lower Inflammation Levels and Balanced Hormones
June 30, 2023 10:26 - 18 minutesToday I want to talk about a really easy strategy for improving your blood sugar response when eating some of your favourite carbs. Now, as some of you may know, I’m currently doing shorter episodes, so I won’t be diving into blood sugar here – but I do have many, many articles and episodes on the science of blood sugar and how it affects endo, so I’ll link to a few in the show notes. But, let’s do a very quick recap so that for those who aren’t familiar, can easily follow along. So, blood su...
Try This Super Simple Hack to Lessen Cramping Severity
June 23, 2023 07:31 - 15 minutesThis short episode is a really practical one and full disclaimer, this is one based on personal experience (and clinical experience, with my clients), rather than something that is evidence based and proven. If you’re someone who gets a lot of pain on your period with endometriosis, try this very, very simple hack: sit up. So, let me elaborate. Many years ago, after much trial and error, I realised that when I lay down totally flat on my period during a peak in pain, the cramping worsened, an...
