On March 10, several advocates will be on Capitol Hill advocating for endometriosis and . Did you know that ablation and excision are reimbursed at the same rate but one takes less than an hour and one can take multiple hours?! This has incredible downstream impact on the care women receive.
of went to HHS several weeks ago but we need many conversations for this to move forward.
I’m sorry I can’t attend in person, but I’m thrilled to have helped the team book meetings with the NY State Senators. Follow .advocates as they share updates.
A huge thanks to and and their colleagues for writing a pivotal paper about how when the same procedure is done on a man and women, doctors are often reimbursed at half the rate of those done on men.

Endometriosis is so complex yet some aspects about it are so simple. I asked several experts here at the conference abut what we can do about early diagnosis. I was shocked at their response. Check it out.

Are you one of the 1 in 10 who have ? Or perhaps you don’t know because it takes women 7 to 10 years to get diagnosed!
I’m at ‘s annual conference to hear what leading researchers have to say. We need biomarkers to develop better diagnostics and treatments!

How’s your grip strength? Apparently, being able to hold your body weight is important for long term health. 30 sec for women and 60 sec for men. (I thought it was 60 sec for both! Maybe it should be!)
And you’ve heard all about weight bearing exercise and its importance as we age. I’ve grown out of group classes so I asked ChatGPT for a workout routine based on my overall workout schedule. Here’s what it had to say. I gave it a whirl and feel great.
I’m not here to give medical advice, but the data is clear. Get strong. Stay strong.

The approves for post menopausal women. It is indicated for low sexual desire, adding to the (sadly small) toolbox for clinicians to support women.
In 2015, was approved for pre-menopausal women, which was quite significant given only men had options available to them.
I will share more about the broader implications. For now, let’s celebrate the win.

🚨 Last Call: Endometriosis Insight Survey 🚨
Endometriosis affects 190 million people worldwide. And yet the system continues to fail patients — in research, diagnostics, clinical care, payer models, and innovation.
I’m finalizing a cross-sector report (EndoMAP) mapping the barriers holding the field back. Before we close the survey, we’re looking for input from people working anywhere in healthcare.
If you work in: Research • Clinical Care • Diagnostics • Imaging • Health Systems • Payers • Innovation • Health Economics • Advocacy • Policy …your perspective matters.
📝 Survey link is in my bio. It only takes a few minutes.
And if this isn’t your area, please share this post or tag someone who should see it.
💪 Every voice helps shape what comes next.

“We can’t see cramps — so here, take some Motrin.”
From periods to chronic pain, women are taught to endure — not to ask for answers.

I have been on my own fertility journey since October 2010, when during a routine OB/GYN visit, I was told I needed to see a fertility doctor based on a recent blood workup. After 3 years of working with 10 of the best reproductive endocrinologists (REI’s) in the country, spending thousands on IUI’s and IVF’s, and dealing with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, I finally received an actual diagnosis - endometriosis and immunological factors contributing to my infertility.
The diagnosis thrilled me, yet the future was still unclear. Given I was asymptomatic, questions remained about the stage of endometriosis I had. However, laparoscopic surgery was the only way to know what was going on, and given it was cheaper than doing another IVF, I went for it. Yes, I had endometriosis.
I stopped eating foods containing gluten and dairy and proceeded with my last IVF using an immune protocol. It was scary because, at the time, few believed in such a protocol. However, it was more unique than any other protocols to date, none of them worked, so why not? I had the best response in all four years - 7 eggs, 6 fertilized, 5 matured. I got pregnant and on September 7, 2015, I delivered my baby boy at the age of 41.
My journey did not end there as I both have tried to figure out how I might have another baby in my 40’s and more importantly, how I can use my learnings to help other women. I made many poor decisions along the way because I was learning as I went.
What’s also important to know is I have a science background and spent 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry. I am comfortable asking doctors the hard questions and understand how to disseminate information to trust. Yet even with this, I wasted so much time and money….as my fertility rate continued to decline, and quickly.
Given my specialty is process optimization - meaning my lens on the world is, “Why is this so inefficient? There must be a better way!” - I am confident the services we offer will make great change for each patient we work with and ultimately, influence changes in medical practices.
