November 11, 2019 05:30 - 1 hourEver feel like your hormones are imbalanced when it comes to living with endometriosis? Have you noticed high oestrogen symptoms or have you heard of oestrogen dominance and it’s effects on endo? Do you find yourself experiencing bad PMS, mood swings, depression, insomnia, acne or fatigue?

Ep 61: Creating a Supplement for Endometriosis with Lauren and Catherine Lee of Semaine Health
October 21, 2019 05:30 - 1 hourI often get asked what are the best supplements for endometriosis. I always state that what works for me, may not work for you, so I generally share information on the vitamins and herbal supplements that have been shown to help with endometriosis in studies. But there' is something I always share, which is true for the majority for us with endometriosis - reducing inflammation is one of the key components in managing endometriosis. That can be done through eating an anti-inflammatory diet, r...
Ep 60: Going Self-Employed with Endometriosis: Why I Did It, The Highs and Lows and My Tips Two Years In
October 14, 2019 05:00 - 1 hourTwo years ago I went self-employed to help manage my endometriosis. Employment just wasn’t working for me - I had been signed off from work, I was struggling to explain the impact endometriosis was having on my mental health to my boss and in short, I simply felt unable to work. It felt like the normal 9-5 work system was just not set up for people like me. People who had low energy, whose health seemed to vary from day to day, whose needs changed hourly, whose mental health was unpredictable...

September 30, 2019 05:30 - 1 hourLife with endometriosis isn’t always easy and it can have a huge impact on a person’s social life. In the past few years, I’ve really experienced this. Even though I’m doing well in my management of the disease, it admittedly takes a lot of work to be able to do that, and sometimes that has come at the price of my social life. But I believe that a life filled with joyful moments with the ones we love is possible with endometriosis. It just might look different from your ordinary ‘healthy’ pe...

Ep 56: Bladder Pain, Endometriosis and Interstitial Cystitis
September 16, 2019 05:00 - 53 minutesFor many years, I thought I had bladder endometriosis. But after two surgeries showed that I didn’t have endometriosis on the bladder (though I did elsewhere), I had to start asking questions. Why did I feel bladder pressure all the time? Why did my bladder burn when it was full and even after emptying? Why did it feel like my bladder was never empty? Why did I have to urinate 20 plus times a day? I had assumed that the bladder frequency and urgency I was experiencing was just down to endomet...

Ep 50: Can You Eat Eggs and Dairy on the Endometriosis Diet?
August 05, 2019 05:30 - 28 minutesWhat foods trigger endometriosis?

Ep 48: What I Eat at The Weekend on The Endometriosis Diet
July 22, 2019 05:30 - 42 minutesA couple of weeks ago I shared with you what I eat on an average day on my version of the endometriosis diet. This diet essentially consists of lots of anti-inflammatory foods like gluten free whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, good fats and low sugar fruits. But what about when the weekend hits? Well, I thought it was only fair to share how I indulge! I love my comfort food, I love eating stereotypical junk food like pizzas, I love baking and I love sweet treats. I don’t deprive myself ...

Ep 46: Managing EndoDiet Overwhelm
July 08, 2019 05:30 - 28 minutesIt’s really easy, when you’re unwell, to want to fix everything as quickly as possible. When I started managing my endometriosis symptoms, I went full throttle. I changed my diet, my lifestyle, my make up and skin care - everything and anything that could be tweaked or improved to help with endometriosis, I changed. But within a short few months, I was broke and exhausted. I was totally overwhelmed by the amount of information that I was stuffing in my brain, the conflicting information o...

June 03, 2019 05:00 - 36 minutesOkay, so I’ve done a good couple of episodes now on how I treat endometriosis naturally through the endometriosis diet and other holistic lifestyle choices.

Ep 33: My Healing Journey
April 08, 2019 05:00 - 1 hourToday is a sort of part two to my first solo show about my endometriosis story. Last time I told you a lot more about the medical side of my experience - from my endometriosis diagnosis, symptoms and pretty bad experiences with surgery!
