Today on the Menopause Uprising Podcast we have Kathleen King. Did you know 1 in 9 women in Ireland have endometriosis and currently it takes 9 years to be diagnosed?

Kathleen is a well-known advocate for endometriosis, having lived with the condition herself. With over 25 years of experience as a volunteer, she has made significant contributions to the field through support, advocacy and work with organisations such as the Endometriosis Association of Ireland, World Endometriosis Organisation and the ESHRE Endometriosis Guidelines Review group.

Kathleen's research on the use of the internet for endometriosis diagnosis and treatment has further established her reputation as a knowledgeable and dedicated advocate. Her personal connection combined with her professional background as a medical scientist has motivated her to raise awareness and support those affected by endometriosis, inspiring others to join her in this mission. She is the founder of DEARG (Delivering Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Research and Guidance) Ireland’s only podcast dedicated to endometriosis. She is also the founder of MISE (Menstrual Information, Specialising in Endometriosis) a school programme that launched in Donegal in March 2024.
