Dr. Miranda Myles The Natural Doctor & Conception Queen helping you feel better in your body & bring your baby home Hello, I’m Dr Miranda and I love what I do!

I‘m passionate and dedicated to the world of fertility, IVF support, gynaecology, women’s and men’s hormonal health, children’s health and emotional/mental health. I want you to be all you can be; the very best version of you. I am an expert Naturopath and Dr TCM (Acupuncture) with 20 years experience treating 20,000 patients. I am a University lecturer having lectured Nutritional Biochemistry (and just about every other nutrition and food as medicine subject) at both Souther School Natural Therapies (SSNT) now Torrens, and Endeavour for the last 15 years. Through my love and skill for teaching, I was seconded to create and write the very first Nutritional Biochemistry course for SSNT which remains in use today. Having had my own fertility issues, and going through IVF, I get it. I get the disappointment, of every period coming. I get the stress and anxiety, anger and fear. I get that it seems everyone around you is suddenly pregnant, in your office, your friends (even the ones that never wanted kids!), women in your neighbourhood, and in the streets everyone is walking a pram! I had my own individual journey, and now I am a very proud mum of two beautiful children created using donor eggs from not one but 3 donor egg angels. I have my own podcast where I tell my story. I hope this inspires other intending parents to think outside the box in your endeavour to create your unique family. I am also an author, contributing 5 chapters (B1, B2, B3, B5 & Soy) to the highly regarded Herbs and Natural Supplements: An Evidenced Based Guide by Lesley Braun and Marc Cohen. Currently I am writing my own The Fertile You Diet, a clinically proven 100 day preconception diet to help you feel at home in your body and conceive more easily. Due for release 2022. I established my private naturopathy and acupuncture practice in 2002 and I uniquely combine an integrated approach to health through multiple disciplines. As Founder, Director and entrepreneur, I developed one of Melbourne’s leading natural health and fertility treatment clinics for women, men and children Carlton Natural Health, now The Fertile Project .

Hormones don’t just “go out of balance” — there’s always a story underneath.
If you know what to look for, your symptoms are clues 👇

• Overtraining / under-recovery
• Poor sleep patterns
• Inflammation or illness

2. Low Oestrogen
Symptoms:
• Vaginal dryness
• Dry skin / hair
• Low libido
• Brain fog
• Joint pain
• Irregular or light periods

Root Causes:
• Perimenopause / menopause
• Hypothalamic suppression (stress, under-eating, over-exercising)

• Postpartum / breastfeeding
• Certain medications (e.g. hormonal contraception history)

3. Low Progesterone
Symptoms:
• PMS (anxiety, irritability)
• Poor sleep
• Short luteal phase
• Spotting before period
• Heavy or irregular cycles
• Difficulty maintaining pregnancy

Root Causes:
• Anovulation
• Chronic stress (progesterone “steal”)
• Thyroid dysfunction
• High prolactin
• Perimenopause

4. High Testosterone (Androgen Excess)
Symptoms:
• Acne (jawline, back)
• Excess hair growth (face/body)
• Hair thinning (scalp)
• Irregular or absent ovulation
• Oily skin
• PCOS picture

Root Causes:
• Insulin resistance
• PCOS
• Chronic inflammation
• Adrenal dysregulation
• Genetic predisposition

5. Low Thyroid Function
Symptoms:
• Fatigue
• Weight gain or resistance to weight loss
• Cold intolerance
• Hair loss / thinning outer eyebrows

Your symptoms aren’t random. They’re patterns.
And patterns can be tested, understood, and supported.
✨ Test. Don’t guess.

Endometriosis vs Adenomyosis—same tissue, completely different terrain.

They may both involve endometrial-like tissue…
but where that tissue grows changes everything.

Endometriosis lives outside the uterus:
→ Ovaries (endometriomas)
→ Pelvic peritoneum
→ Uterosacral ligaments
→ Bowel, bladder
→ Even diaphragm and lungs in rare cases
It behaves like an inflammatory, migratory disease—
often driving pain & adhesions.

Adenomyosis lives within the uterus:
→ Endometrial tissue embedded in the myometrium
It’s a disease of infiltration and enlargement—
leading to a bulky, tender uterus, heavy bleeding, and deep pelvic pain.

Same origin. Different geography. Different presentation.

And this is where so many women are misdiagnosed—
because location determines symptoms, imaging findings, and treatment approach.
If you’re only looking at “hormones”… you’re missing the map.

Key Natural Treatment Approaches:

Dietary Changes: Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet, such as increasing intake of leafy greens and reducing processed foods, may help.

Nutritional Supplements: Magnesium can help relax the smooth muscle of the uterus, while vitamin D has been shown to assist in regulating cell signaling in adenomyosis.

Physical Therapies: Acupuncture has been shown to reduce uterine size, pain (dysmenorrhea), and associated bloating.

Lifestyle Management: Heat therapy, such as using a heating pad on the lower abdomen, provides immediate pain relief.

Regular Exercise: Gentle, regular exercise may help reduce inflammation

Sisters or distant cousins, both are commonly missed and dismissed.

Heavy periods, period pain & pelvic are not normal. Common yes, normal no. They are red flags 🚩🚩for the potential presence of Endo or Adeno or both.

Whilst they share similarities, they are different, and I’ve highlighted both.

Histologically, the foreign tissue in both conditions is effectively the same, derived from the same material (this is where they are sisters). But it lives in different houses (kinda like cousins now - related tissue, different homes).

It is important to note, that both conditions may be asymptomatic, found on routine investigation when there is a fertility issue.

They share many of the same symptoms. The difficulty with Adeno is the difficulty in treating / removing the foreign lesions that are stuck in the muscle of the uterus causing a “bulky uterus”

The real point is if you have heavy periods, pelvic pain or period pain - get properly investigated.

Endo and adeno can both begin as teenagers.

If your period pain requires pain killers and interferes with your life, you need to get proper investigations done.

If you take days off school from your pain, you need proper investigations

If you vomit from the pain

If you curl up in the foetal position with a hot water bottle

Adenomyosis fortunately can be seen on imaging (ultrasound), especially on MRI, but Endo can’t. For Endo, at the very least, a transvaginal ultrasound is required. The best is a laparoscope.

Both need to be conducted by an expert someone who knows what they are looking for. I can’t believe the number of times this is missed in women, only to be discovered when they are

The pill won’t fix it. It won’t *regulate your hormones*. It won’t stop the progression. It will help symptoms, yes, and that’s ok. But once you stop the pill, the Endo/Adeno will still remain and will still need to be managed.

Plus, we can’t just right off all period pain as Endo or Adeno.
Pelvic pain can have many other causes such as pelvic floor issues, tight connective tissue and pelvic ligaments.

When it comes to easing endo pain, these three nutrients are absolute standouts ✨
💛 PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) – supports the body’s natural response to inflammation and helps calm nerve-related pain

🌿 Magnesium – relaxes muscles, reduces cramping, and supports a calmer nervous system

🧡 Turmeric – a powerful anti-inflammatory that can help take the edge off persistent pain
Small daily support can make a big difference

💫 Always check what’s right for your body, but these are a beautiful place to start.

Living with endo isn’t “just bad cramps.” It’s chronic pain, exhausting fatigue, bloating, flare-ups that come out of nowhere, and days where even the simplest tasks feel impossible.

It’s learning to push through while also listening to your body, and constantly advocating to be heard and taken seriously. Invisible illness, very real struggle. 💛
Or..
It may be silent.
No symptoms (really) and a diagnosis of exclusion when you are and it’s put in the distressing basket of “unexplained infertility”, a diagnosis of lazy medicine.

(A poor excuse for “we don’t know why, and we don’t know where to look”)

Endometriosis.

It’s frighteningly common Disturbingly slow to diagnose
Dreadfully debilitating (for many)

It is more than just a “hormone imbalance”. It is a whole body immune and inflammatory response.
