Did you know your liver is the size of a football?

That is the size of the liver in an adult male and is found on the right side of the body just under the ribs.

It weighs about 3 Ibs because it holds 10% of all the blood in your body and filters 1.4 L of blood per minute!

Not only does it do that but performs over 500 different functions in the body!

That’s 500 more reasons to love your liver! So get ready for my Liver course coming soon!

Liver health is so important for Endometriosis.

So many women have liver detox pathways that are genetically affected either in Phase I or II or both. This makes it harder to breakdown and metabolize estrogen leading to an estrogen dominance situation driving many of the factors behind endometriosis.

You can help to support this through your diet with an anti-inflammatory diet with lots of cruciferous veggies, ground flax seeds and psyllium fibre. You also want to avoid any alcohol intake and limit caffeine intake because these make you liver detox pathways have to work harder.

Supplements that are beneficial to supporting this will be AOR EstroAdapt, WS EstroSense, and Cytomatrix BioB6. (Always consult your healthcare provider.)

Coming soon will be my Liver Boost Course to help this all out!

Nervous System support for endometriosis.

This is so multi factorial since we need to stop the pain signals at all levels of the nervous system:
❤️This means working on diet and exercise.
❤️Acupuncture has been so great for working on the parasympathetic nervous system and is super for endometriosis.
❤️Working on pelvic floor health with a physio.
❤️Supplements to calm the nervous system like B-vitamins, magnesium, glycine, L-theanine, GABA.
❤️Proper sleep hygiene and morning light.
❤️Deep breathing or other relaxation techniques.
❤️Counselling.
❤️Many others…

Choose one or many to help you out! Everyone is different depending on what you need for your nervous system.

Endometriosis and supporting all of your mitochondria go hand in hand!

To keep your cells as healthy as possible there are the foundations I have already talked about in relation to diet and hormone balancing but next up you can do some specific support.

Your mitochondria especially love CoenzymeQ10, N-acetylcysteine, glycine, acetylene-l-carnitine, magnesium, B-vitamins, and curcumin. You can pick at least 2 of these to help out your mitochondria and for other symptoms you may be dealing with like inflammation or anxiety or infertility.

But always talk to your healthcare provider to see which ones fit for you!

There can be so many hormone imbalances occurring in endometriosis but the main driver would be too much estrogen.

It can be great to do lab testing for this along with genetic testing to check for those liver pathways. Then we can treat individually! But we can also generalize.

First off is to help breakdown the excess estrogen using cruciferous veggies or with supplements of I3C or DIM. BUT only if your digestive system is working properly (bowels are moving daily) or else you will just add to your issue.

Also vitamin B6, NAC, C and magnesium can all help out the liver to work on your hormones.

There is often a progesterone deficiency, lower functioning thyroid and increased cortisol all added to this picture and each of these also deserve to be supported in their own way. But the supplements listed will also help this out.

Always ask your healthcare provider what is best for you.

How to support your gut health for endometriosis?

Well you can do an in depth GI Map kit that I use to know exactly what is going on inside of you or we can start on generalizations.

First is to eat a Mediterranean Diet while avoiding alcohol and any food sensitivities you may have. This makes sure you are getting a diet high in Omega 3s, antioxidants, fibre and feeding your microbiome properly. The alcohol is avoided because you probably have a liver pathway that doesn’t break it down properly (because this pathway also breaks down estrogen as well and we know it can be off in endometriosis patients).

Don’t forget to hydrate and use electrolytes especially if you also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or POTS or MCAS along with your endometriosis as now they are finding so many genetic overlaps with these.

Along with all of this is to make sure you do get your protein and fibre intake corrected for you so that you are able to heal tissues and recover between periods!

And lastly using proper supplements like fibre, digestive enzymes and probiotics which can go a long way in optimizing your digestion in order to improve your symptoms! (But always check with your healthcare provider.)

Did you know male pattern baldness research gets 10 BILLION per year in funding…

But endometriosis research funding only gets 30 MILLION per year?

I had an amazing weekend on a virtual course all about Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and all things related to pelvic health!

I am always wanting to hear the new research coming out for all of you and myself. More and more it is showing that neuroimmunobiology is a huge driving factor behind these conditions.

This means there is so much that Naturopathic Medicine can do for this!!!! What research is showing more and more is that the underlying root issues need to be addressed in order to make the person feel their best!

This means gut health, balancing hormones, tissue and mitochondrial support, and nervous system health are all areas to address.

I can’t wait to share more right at the end of March which is Endometriosis Awareness Month.
