Endometriosis with Dr. Daniela Jesin

Many women experience debilitation pelvic pain and painful periods and are made to believe that this is just a "normal" part of being female. Some of these women may be suffering from a condition called Endometriosis, which can take years to get diagnosed. Endometriosis affects approximately 7-10% of women and can cause significant pain and dysfunction.

In this podcast Dr. Jesin shares insights from a naturopathic perspective.

Most important points:

Factors that impact progression of Endometriosis include hormone imbalance, sensitivities to certain foods and toxicity.
