Summary
Endometriosis is a painful condition that so many women suffer with in silence. I am one of those women. It's not uncommon for women to go undiagnosed for years, to be dismissed, or to be told it's all in our heads. But recently, there is a growing community of women trying to learn more and support each other as we navigate life with endo.
In this episode, I'm sharing my own personal story and struggles with endometriosis, plus the nutrition, lifestyle, and other interventions that have helped me manage my endo symptoms. While I can't promise that what I mention will work or is appropriate for every woman with endo (please talk to your healthcare provider), it's my hope that by formally breaking my silence, you may find something that's helpful.

| 0:07.4 | Steph Gradro. Your host, really appreciate that you're hanging out with me today for what is, I guess, the second |
| 0:16.1 | in a series of personal topics that Steph tells the entire podcast universe about. |
| 0:24.0 | And last week it was talking about being a highly sensitive person, |
| 0:29.0 | which is not unique to me, thank goodness. |
| 0:32.0 | It's estimated 15 to 20 percent of the population is |
| 0:35.9 | highly sensitive and you can go back and listen to that episode. But today |
| 0:40.0 | after much contemplation and this has been something I've been thinking |
| 0:46.3 | about for the last couple of years but after much contemplation I've decided to |
| 0:51.8 | shed a little bit of light on what it has been like for me to figure out that I have |
| 0:59.2 | and Demetriosis and I have been really reluctant to talk about this topic for a long while because, wow, my |
| 1:09.9 | Endo sisters out there, if you're listening and you have endometriosis or you |
| 1:15.8 | suspect you have it you know it's one of those things where women are |
| 1:20.6 | constantly being dismissed women are in often times |
| 1:25.0 | in oftentimes severe pain, |
| 1:30.0 | where women often often times require some kind of surgical intervention to mitigate or help manage their symptoms that can lead to infertility problems. I mean, it's just a really emotional, really |
| 1:49.1 | loaded topic. And I recognize that my experience may not mirror the experience of another |
| 1:58.6 | woman out there listening and in the past I've had some interactions with women on social media or online where things just didn't go really well for said reasons that I just mentioned, right? |
