Welcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! In this week’s episode, I discuss “the endometriosis diet.” Contrary to popular belief, there isn't one specific diet to follow. There is no one diet because everyone is bio-individual, meaning we all have different bodies and we do not process foods the exact same way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Why there isn’t a singular diet for endometriosis, and why there is so much confusion out there.

-The key is your unique bio-individuality, and what works for others might not work for you because our bodies are all different.

-Eat primarily whole foods, which are foods you find in nature like meat, fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds if your body tolerates it.

-Focus on a nutrient-dense diet to ensure you're getting a wide range of nutrients like colorful vegetables, as each offers unique nutritional benefits; also prioritize omega-3s and protein, which are crucial for healing and overall well-being.

-Organic and grass feed and finished meat, pasture-raised eggs and poultry, and wild-caught fish and seafood are best for your body and the environment.

-Avoid vegetable oils like canola, corn, soybean, safflower, and sunflower oils, as well as sugar and processed foods; these can cause inflammation in the body, potentially aggravating endometriosis symptoms.

-Focus on fats like ghee, coconut oil, and avocado oil; olive oil works well for low heat or salads. For sweeteners, opt for lower glycemic options like maple syrup, fruit, coconut sugar, and honey.

-Bio-individuality means we're all unique, with different bodies and needs; it's not just about what you eat, but also about your cultural, religious, and personal beliefs.

-Identify problematic foods like dairy or gluten that might worsen your endometriosis symptoms due to inflammation. Consider trying a 30-day elimination diet like the PALEO AIP.

Trust your intuition to discover which foods suit you best and allow you to customize your diet to your needs, ultimately understanding your bio-individuality. Check out the guide below to create your personalized endometriosis diet. It's a valuable resource for deciding what works best for you. Remember, eating should be enjoyable, not stressful or dreaded.

This week’s episode is all about the four foundations of endo health. I’m super excited about the upcoming launch of the Endo Warrior Circle, a subscription-based program where everything is broken down into these four essential foundations. Today, I want to give you a sneak preview of the overarching topics we'll be covering, and help you figure out what you need to support right now.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear:

-The foundations are what you need to build a solid base to help you create a sustainable approach to managing endo. Focusing on one thing at a time will help you make progress with your endo symptoms and sustain that progress for the long term.

1. Mindset and stress: Often overlooked, mindset and stress management are crucial. Believing that you can heal your body and improve your symptoms is the first step toward better health.

-2. Diet: an essential part to manage endo symptoms, and the best diet to focus on is an anti inflammatory diet.

-3. Sleep: Prioritizing sleep and having good sleep habits are crucial when managing endo symptoms. Sleep impacts your diet, stress, and mindset.

-4. Lifestyle: This includes movement, eating habits, creating space for healing, resting, and doing activities you love. A balanced lifestyle is key to managing endo and enhancing your overall quality of life.

-While supplements can be helpful, a quality diet is more important. Additionally, seeking help from mental health professionals, functional practitioners, acupuncture, pelvic floor therapy, and other resources can be extremely beneficial in supporting these foundations.

Making one positive change at a time creates a snowball effect, pushing your life in the direction you want. It’s tempting to change everything at once, especially when in pain, but sustainable progress comes from focusing on one foundation at a time. When you focus on one, the rest will improve because each foundation relies on the other. Doors are open from June 24th-28th. After that, you can join the waitlist. In the Endo Warrior Circle, we’ll dive deeper into these topics and more. I hope to see you there!

Welcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! In today’s episode, I’m diving into the fascinating link between food sensitivities, gut health, and endometriosis. I’ll share practical tools to help you identify and manage your unique food triggers without losing the joy of eating. By the end, you’ll feel empowered with fresh insights and strategies to make food your ally, not your enemy. As a functional nutritionist, helping my clients pinpoint food sensitivities is a key part of my work, so I’m excited to share these insights with you!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Myth-busting common misconceptions about food sensitivities and endometriosis.

-Why food sensitivities matter when managing endometriosis symptoms.

-Common food triggers for endometriosis and gut health issues.

-Why food sensitivities develop and how gut health is affected.

-How to identify your unique food sensitivities and the importance of pairing this with gut-healing protocols.

Food alone isn’t the solution for endometriosis, and a multimodal approach is key. But understanding your diet and working with a practitioner can significantly help manage symptoms.
