One thing you learn in ENDOMETRIOSIS ESSENTIALS is that is a full-body disease. It characterized by the presence of pain and/or endometriosis lesions, and they don't just grow on the reproductive system. Research shows it can affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body. Even where the lesions don't grow directly, they can cause indirect damage through inflammation and incomplete treatment can cause scarring.

Pelvic Endometriosis may be found:
- On the ovaries
- On the uterus / uterine tubes
- On the bowels
- On the bladder

Extra-Pelvic Endometriosis has been documented in:

- The chest cavity
- The lungs
- The diaphragm
- The liver
- The stomach
- The brain / brain stem
- The pelvic nerves and sciatic nerve

This widespread distribution helps explain why symptoms vary so widely, from pelvic pain and infertility, to digestive, urinary, respiratory, and even neurological issues.

Endometriosis is a SYSTEMIC disease, and it's time we start treating it as such, the medical establishment will just have to catch up 🤷‍♀️. Raising awareness of its full-body impact is critical for better diagnosis, treatment, and support! We have to start broadening the scope and looking at the "why" behind endo, in order to best serve the people struggling with this condition. That means looking holistically, at the whole body.

In ENDOMETRIOSIS ESSENTIALS, the entire course is designed around the fact that endo likely will not be limited to the reproductive system or period pain alone (1 in 2 have extra-reproductive endo growths), and an entire module is dedicated to the extra-pelvic forms of endo, and what we know about them so far (they are quite diverse in how they express!)

If you’re living with endometriosis, your experience is real, valid, and deserves recognition. You deserve universal, compassionate healthcare that is backed by the latest research.

is beyond just “bad periods” & it's time we start treating it as such. It’s a complex, full-body condition. That’s why I created the first course to uncover root causes + guide healing.

Here are a few reasons you’ll want to check it out

1. Root cause focus - Most of what you'll find for endo support stops at symptom relief. This course digs into the WHY and uses that information to inform your unique strategy: things like immune dysfunction, inflammation, how hormones interact with this condition, and more.

2. Practical healing tools - From herbalism to mineral supplementation and other physical supports, I discuss dozens of holistic ways to lower inflammation, relieve pain, discourage future lesion growth, and feel better long-term.

3. Fertility awareness charting skills - Learn to read your body’s signals through cycle charting & track your progress autonomously. Body literacy is our unique power.

4. A full-body perspective - This course treats endo as the full body condition that it is. Endo can affect so many other organ systems, digestion, urinary, and even respiratory systems. You’ll have a chance to see the bigger picture if you suffer from extra-pelvic endo.

5. Medical insight and informed consent - You’ll learn which treatments are recommended, which are outdated, & how to have informed convos with doctors so you aren't just being pushed to do whatever they want you to do.

6. Long-term + post-op strategies - Whether or not you choose surgery, you’ll discover ways to prevent recurrence and support your body for years to come. Changing the underlying immune environment is of the utmost importance!

7. Hormones & fertility - Most advice stops at "shut down the cycle with birth control." Instead you'll actually learn how to care for your menstrual cycle with endo, as well as practical tools for pregnancy planning & supporting fertility.

8. Learning support - There are 8 video modules with several hours of materials, a 50+ page soft cover workbook, quizzes after each session, & additional resources keep you engaged. Make sure you take notes!!

ENDOMETRIOSIS ESSENTIALS 🩷

My new course is an eight module self study to explore healing.
It's been a joy creating this!!

This groundbreaking approach to whole body management of endometriosis tackles root causes, equips you with tools, and puts body literacy in your hands!

We learn about root causes in immune dysfunction, explore natural management tools, and introduce the skill of fertility awareness charting for deeper insight.

In This Course You Will Learn:

1. Intro to Endometriosis: We discuss how endo is a full body disease with far reaching effects, the structures affected by endo, and some statistics about the condition.

2. The Roots of Endo: The basics of endometriosis structure & what makes endometriosis lesions different from normal endometrium. We then dive deeper into the roots of endo by looking at the immuno-menstrual axis, the relationship to autoimmunity, and the estrogen connection.

3. Extra-Pelvic Endometriosis: We learn about the importance of awareness of extra-pelvic forms of endometriosis.

4. Diagnosis & Engaging in Medical Treatment: We investigate the diagnostic guidelines for endometriosis as well as the recommended medical treatments. This session helps you to compare different treatments and to understand which treatments are no longer recommended.

5. Functional Approaches to Healing: We explore functional testing that may help narrow down a treatment protocol, how to support the menstrual cycle, environmental factors, and estrogen metabolism.

6. Long Term or Post-Op Preventative Strategies: This is about what happens after surgery, or if surgery isn’t your path, what you can do in the long term to support your health if you have endometriosis.

7. Hormonal Health & Fertility with Endometriosis: We discuss hormonal health with endometriosis and how to support a healthy menstrual cycle. We then talk about fertility specific issues with endometriosis and how to chart with fertility awareness to have a healthy pregnancy.

8. Charting with Endometriosis: We talk about the basics of charting your cycle with endometriosis. We end the course by talking about how body literacy can guide endometriosis healing.
