This EndoLife

Today we’re doing another clip from my course, Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 as I am still getting over covid and what has turned out to be several of the most stressful days I’ve ever experienced (more on that another time). During the past couple of days, I’ve not had access to the internet and so I wasn’t able to share that the course doors were closing for enrolment or even actually close the doors, so if you want to sigh up, you still can. I’m likely going to leave the doors open until Sunday or Monday, so just for a few more days. Today’s lesson is all about first line therapies for optimising digestion, this is one lesson of three and this one is mainly about how you’re eating and what you’re eating. If you have a lot of bloating and endo belly, I would really pay attention to the sections on chewing, mindful eating and boosting stomach acid, digestive enzymes and bile and work on those first. If you’re curious about the course, you can learn more at www.theendobellycoach.com/live-thrive-with-endo or just go to the link in my show notes here.   Need more help or want to learn how to work with me? My new and improved digital course Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 is open for enrolment! I’ve spent the last two years refining and honing it, to bring you an updated version with new info and strategies - and a specific focus on preventing overwhelm!

Today I have an exciting episode for you! I’m still full of covid or flu, on top of preparing for my course Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 which begins on Monday, and packing to take our rescue kitten back to the UK - today! So, there’s a lot going on - no wonder I got sick! So, instead of doing a replay episode, I thought I’d give you a peak into what I’m woking on in my course, and so today, I am sharing one of my lessons which is all about the science of how pain works and how it can be influenced by the vagus nerve and our nervous system (which are pretty much one and the same, as you’ll come to learn!). This is a great episode to provide you with overall pain education and here’s an interesting fact - pain education actually helps to treat and reduce pain! So that’s a huge benefit of this episode, and the bonus is, if you’re wondering about the course and whether it’s for you, this gives you a little taster as to what’s in store (and remember - there’s a 14 day return policy too). If you’re curious about the course and want to learn more, doors close tomorrow Sunday, April 15th, 11:55pm BST and late bird pricing has just kicked in, dropping the course back down to Super Early Bird pricing of £100 upfront or with a payment plan of £35 per month for three months.

So today, as you’ll be able to hear in this intro, I am pretty damn sick, so I cannot record a full episode for you. Instead, I am sharing my recent free masterclass, Creating a Roadmap for Endo Healing. For this masterclass, you’re going to need to get comfy and grab a note book and a pen because we’re literally going to be designing your endo management plan. This masterclass is much better when you’re joining live as you get the interactive component and the slides, etc. but you can still work your way through it just from listening - so, let’s get started!

We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can.

As part of Endometriosis Awareness Month I’m answering your questions over on IG live and I get a really good response when I share these on the podcast last as well! So, that’s what this week’s episode is. Just a heads up, I’m not sure why but the IG Live recording has a weird buzzing, ticking sound, which we’ve tried to remove, but you may still hear it a little.

This week we’re staying on our theme of hormone testing and we’re looking at oestrogen. There are a number of signs to look out for with oestrogen dominance or excess, and they pretty much all fall under the PMS umbrella, but here are a few tale-tell signs that I often see with clients. If you’ve noticed symptoms of hormonal imbalances but you’d like some help working it out all out, I wanted to let you know I have two one on one coaching spaces becoming available in the next several weeks. I work with endo clients one on one for at least six months to address root causes and reduce pain, gut health problems, chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalances to name a few. If you’re interested in learning more, there’s a link to my coaching page and application for in the show notes. And remember, if you’re not ready for personalised help or you don’t have the budget for it, I’m still running my Endo Awareness Month Flare Up Prevention Mini Email Course.

(Trigger warning: This episode discusses infertility) Okay so this week we’re moving onto hormones and how to test for them. Today, we’re beginning with one that I see a lot of my clients having problems with and that’s low progesterone. I did a progesterone 101 a year or two ago which covered everything from what progesterone is, to what it does in the body and signs of it being too low or too high, but let’s do a recap of some classic low progesterone symptoms.

Today’s episode is a replay as I have been in and out of hospital all week undergoing testing for coeliac disease and chronic appendicitis. As you can imagine, these appointments have eaten into both my time and energy, so I am resharing an old episode today! One that I think provides you with a great foundations for the rest of the year. Today I am resharing my episode about what you should look for in a healthy menstrual cycle, even with endometriosis (because just because you have endo, doesn’t mean you have to suffer with a terrible cycle). If you notice your cycle does not match up with what I share today, you may have some hormonal imbalances, which can be improved, even with endo, and I’ll link to some episodes so you can further identify what you may be experiencing.

Recently, I’ve had a lot of low levels or deficiencies show up with clients. Many of them were experiencing low moods, cyclical pain or heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, heart palpitations, aching muscles, and overall feelings of inflammation. Whilst yes, these can all be due to or linked to endometriosis, we have to be careful about blaming everything on endo and not investigating these kind of situations further. In some of these cases, I suspected low iron and in others low vitamin D, or low B12, depending on the symptoms presenting. I think many of us just don’t always believe these essential nutrients can make such a big difference, but they absolutely can. And lo and behold, each client I tested, was low in the nutrients I suspected and felt a significant difference with prescription level supplements. So, I’m not sharing this to show off and prove I was right – I’m sharing this to alert you to the fact that some of your symptoms may not just be endo. Read more.

He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep. We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can.

Today’s episode is continuing with the theme of why some of your conditions may be worse in January, and today, we’re focusing on endometriosis. Before we get into it, this is a short episode where I am giving you an overview of some of the ways these things can affect people with endo, but it’s not an exhaustive list. In fact, each of these topic areas could have their own episode with a deep dive into how the science works in regards to hormones, inflammation, liver function and so on, but rather than overwhelm you with a bunch of science, I am keeping in what you need to know and have linked to some further resources if you want to learn more. Additionally, the strategies I’m suggesting are very much top line suggestions, but if you go to last week’s episode and listen from 14 minutes in, I give a much more detailed breakdown of how to make these changes there.

It’s a New Year and perhaps you’re feeling the pressure to get up and go, but you can’t get yourself out of bed. Maybe you’re in more pain than usual, perhaps you’re more depressed than usual or maybe you’re experiencing extreme fatigue and energy crashes? If this is you, please know you’re not alone. As I return to work, I’ve received many emails from endometriosis clients telling me their symptoms are worse and they’re panicked, but I’ve also had friends and endo clients who struggle with Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) experiencing heightened symptoms. And even for me, my anxiety, bladder pain and adhesion pain are worse. This is not uncommon. In fact, in my line of work, it’s expected that many people will have worsening periods or hormonal problems in January. Read more.

With a new year beginning, I am resharing a very old meditation episode. This episode is a visualisation meditation to help you envision how you want to feel in 2024. I use this visualisation exercise with every one of my clients, to help them see the big picture they want for their health and then to take that big picture and break it down into small, attainable goals. I also use this meditation with course students and with anyone who comes to my free workshops, so you may very well know it! The key question you will be asking yourself in this meditation is - what if you thrived with endometriosis in 2024? What would your body feel like? What would your life look like? You’ll be invited to envision what your life would be like if you did thrive and if you didn’t - and what one accessible step could you take towards this vision of the future. Make sure you have a journal to hand, a pen and an hour to really sit with this episode and go deep with this powerful meditation. If now isn’t a good time to do this meditation, it can be truly used at any time of year! Most people have very strong yet peaceful reactions to this meditation, and find it very enlightening - so I hope it helps you as well. P.S. This exercise is based on the visualisation we are provided with in our training with the Integrative Women’s Health Institute.

I am seeing a bit of a growing trend with my clients and students – and that’s low iron levels. But they’re not alone. Iron deficiency or low iron levels are extremely common, in fact, iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, with menstruators being one of the most affected groups. The problem with this, is that low iron levels are often disregarded as not a big deal, because the problem is so pervasive, yet low iron levels can significantly affect our quality of life and reproductive health.

This festive season, I wanted to reshare a good news story for those of you suffering with pain and symptoms over the Christmas or New Year holidays, or for whatever reason, struggle with this time of year. I know sometimes it can feel hopeless, and that’s why I love to share these client stories: because they offer hope, they show us what’s possible, they give us faith. In this conversation, Aamina, who is one of my past Live and Thrive with Endo course students and a current membership member, shares with us her story of transformation, from despair and desperation to empowerment and hope.

The Christmas season is typically, a time of excess for those who celebrate – and even for those who don’t, New Year’s is right around the corner. For many people, we increase our intake of sugar, alcohol, processed foods, etc. and that’s okay – this episode isn’t about judgement. I love Christmas, including all the food that comes with it, but for many of us, the result can be more pain and a worse period come January, due to heightened inflammation levels. So today’s episode is all about how to lower the impact of added sugar and blood sugar spiking foods, to lessen inflammation and hormonal imbalances.  Read more.

Today I want to talk about alcohol and the holiday season. I think most of us listening will be increasing alcohol intake over the new few weeks, and the reality is, alcohol does have an impact on our hormones and inflammation levels, setting the stage for lower progesterone levels, increased oestrogen levels and more inflammation. These can all result in more PMS, more oestrogen dominant symptoms like heavy and clotty periods and sore breasts, and lastly, higher inflammation levels equals more pain. Now, I am not a big drinker – I did a lot of binge drinking in my late teens and early twenties and it massively affected my hormones and my endo, so now, I stick to a couple of glasses across the year, and for me, I find that quite easy to do. But I appreciate that I don’t work in an office so I don’t have Christmas parties to attend to, I don’t come from a family who drink a lot at gatherings and I don’t see my friends regularly, so it’s a lot easier for me to do this and I appreciate that.
