Endometriosis has caused decades of suffering for millions of women while medicine debated its origins — and a landmark 2024 study has simultaneously solved the mystery and produced a targeted treatment.

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub identified that endometriosis lesions originate from a specific subpopulation of uterine epithelial cells that carry a somatic mutation in the ARID1A gene — causing them to survive and proliferate outside the uterus by evading immune clearance. In 340 endometriosis patients, ARID1A mutations were present in 94% of active lesions. A targeted ARID1A-pathway inhibitor — EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat — administered orally over 16 weeks produced complete lesion regression in 67% and significant pain reduction in 89% of participants in a Phase 2 trial. Published in Science Translational Medicine, 2024.

Tazemetostat blocks the epigenetic mechanism that ARID1A-mutant cells use to silence tumour suppressor genes, re-exposing the abnormal cells to natural immune clearance and halting their proliferation. Unlike existing hormonal treatments that suppress the entire reproductive axis and cause menopausal side effects, tazemetostat acts only on mutant cells — leaving normal hormonal function intact.

Endometriosis affects 190 million women globally. The average diagnosis takes 7 to 10 years. A targeted therapy that reverses lesions without hormonal suppression represents a generational shift in how medicine treats one of women's most underfunded diseases.

● Spring & Your Liver/Gallbladder ●

via Lily Choi Natural Healing
'Spring is the season associated with the Liver and Gallbladder organs and is the best time of year to strengthen and nourish this vital system. Many of the foods listed above have interchangeable actions and many benefits.

✅️➡️More Liver tips:
• focus on easily digestible foods— like lightly sautéing your greens or steaming them as opposed to having raw greens like kale or spinach

• avoid greasy, fried, rich foods

• avoid alcohol

• limit snacking to seasonal fruit and nuts

• warm soups with seasonal vegetables can help the transition to a new season, and I will post my “Spring Cleansing Soup” soon.

✅️➡️Liver-loved foods:
• Green fruits: In TCM, green is the associated color of the Liver, so foods naturally green support Liver function, also green apples, kiwis and green grapes also possess that sour-pucker feeling, too, so they are really helpful in supporting Liver function!

• Goji berries: these beautiful berries have been used to treat liver disease in traditional Chinese medicine for a very long time, I recommend it to anyone suffering from Liver imbalances and eye problems.

• Schisandra: tonify Liver Blood + Yin while protecting against stress and aging.

• D**g Quai: Nourishes and moves Liver Blood— especially powerful for hormonal balance!

• Turmeric: moves Qi and Blood, especially in the Liver, supporting inflammation, or emotional stagnation— think irritability, frustration, or PMS.'

A New Birth Center Opened in Orlando!

Congratulations to the on your Grand Opening in Orlando! So sorry I wasn’t able to attend the main event; have a packed day but still wanted to come by and celebrate!

If you listen closely, your nervous system is telling you exactly what it needs.

Use this chart as a self-regulation map, not a diagnosis. It’s a way to help you recognize what state you are in and respond with what your body actually needs.

Your goal isn’t to “calm down” or “push through.” Your goal is to meet your state with the right signal.

Regulation happens when the nervous system feels heard, not controlled.

📌Save this for moments when your body feels confusing.

You are capable of SO MUCH MORE than You've been led to believe.

When a group harmonizes the field with Shared Focused Intention ~ ANYTHING is possible.

This exercise is taught, using several methods, in Reiki Energy Healing. I've seen, over 35 yrs, many things that most People would say are weird, crazy, unbelievable, whatever..... No, my friends, tis Truth ~ and just the tip of the iceberg!

A Shared Coherence Field is like a collective energy or vibe that's created when people come together with a shared intention or focus. Imagine being in a room with others who are all vibing off the same frequency – it's like the air is buzzing with possibility!

In practical terms, a Shared Coherence Field can amplify our intentions, foster deeper connections, and even influence the energy of a space.

Have a Fantastic Day ~ Anything is Possible!

🚫 Chronic Stress 🚫 Depletes Progesterone

'Progesterone isn't just about periods—it's about nervous system regulation. It metabolizes into allopregnanolone, which activates GABA receptors (your calming neurotransmitter).

➡️ When progesterone is low, you get:
● anxiety, panic attacks,
● insomnia (especially waking 2-4am),
● severe PMS,
● mood swings,
● heavy periods,
● short luteal phase,
● infertility,
● recurrent miscarriage.

➡️ The #1 cause? Chronic stress. When stressed, your body prioritizes survival over reproduction—shunting pregnenolone toward cortisol production instead of progesterone.

⬇️
This is "pregnenolone steal."
You can't make high cortisol AND progesterone simultaneously.

⚠️ OTHER CAUSES:
● anovulatory cycles (no ovulation = no corpus
luteum = no progesterone),
● nutrient deficiencies (B6, magnesium, zinc
required for production),
● thyroid dysfunction,

● ➡️ LOW-FAT DIETS (progesterone is made FROM cholesterol). Healthy Fats are Necessary for Fertility ~ Avocado, Walnuts, Olive Oil,
Grass Fed Butters, etc ( I've seen this aspect alone, adding healthy fats consistently to the diet & reducing or removing stressors equal a pregnancy)

✅️ SUPPORT PROGESTERONE by:
● regulating nervous system (can't
out-supplement chronic stress),
● ensuring ovulation,
● eating adequate cholesterol and healthy fats, ● optimizing B6, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C'.

Your anxiety isn't a Xanax deficiency. It might be progesterone deficiency driven by stress.
