If you have Endometriosis, you’ve probably heard that reducing inflammation is key — but what does that actually look like in real life? In this episode, I walk you through some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients, including turmeric, ginger, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and polyphenols — and, importantly, how to get more of them into your everyday meals without overwhelm or restriction. You’ll learn how these nutrients help calm inflammatory pathways, support immune balance, and reduce oxidative stress — all of which play a role in managing Endometriosis symptoms. For a deeper dive into specific nutrients, you may also want to listen to: • Episode 144: Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s – Fats That Fight Inflammation • Episode 131: Magnesium & Endometriosis – The Mineral Your Body’s Probably Craving
Many women with endo are on the surgery ‘not so merry’ go round. It is hard on the body, and getting ‘match fit’ beforehand and looking after yourself afterwards can really help to get through better and recover faster. This course provides you with how to use what you eat and drink to get in the best shape possible to recover fast. #endometriosis #theendometriosistnutritionist #EndometriosisDiscoveryCall #endometriosissymptoms #NutritionForEndometriosis #1in10 #endoadvice #nutritionist #NutritionAdvice #theendometriosisnutritionistpodcast #endosurgery #recoverfromsurgery #laparoscopy
If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice. In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health. You’ll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients. I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles. This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach. 🎧 If you’re currently taking a prenatal multivitamin, I also recommend listening to episode 115, where I explain why the type of folate you take matters more than you may realise. I’ve created a free guide that explains how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility.

Many of my clients have difficulties with sleep: difficulty falling asleep or waking up often, or not getting enough sleep, or if they do, not getting the quality sleep they want. And studies have shown that in Endometriosis, poor quality sleep contributes to period pain, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bladder pain and more depressive symptoms. So what does good sleep look like, and how does your sleep affect your Endometriosis? I’ve created a free guide “5 Steps to reducing your Endometriosis symptoms with nutrition”.

Is Endometriosis actually an autoimmune condition? For decades we’ve been told it’s all about hormones—but new research shows your immune system may be the missing link. And that changes everything.

If you live with Endometriosis and find yourself struggling with anxiety, you are not alone. But here’s the thing — it’s not just in your head.
