Today, I'm thrilled to dive into one of my favorite topics: gut health! You might be thinking, how is this related to endometriosis? Well, gut health is crucial for both the progression and healing of endometriosis. Endo is not just a reproductive disease, but a full body disease. Understanding and addressing your gut health is fundamental to tackling endometriosis effectively.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear:
-How endometriosis is rooted in immune dysfunction
-The gut-immune connection and how most of your immune system resides in your gut, influencing immune responses throughout your body, including in the context of endometriosis.
-How your gut can play a role in systemic inflammation in your body.
-How leaky gut contributes to food sensitivities and increased inflammation.
-Addressing food sensitivities through techniques like food sensitivity testing, adopting diets like Paleo AIP, and adding gut healing practices can help pinpoint triggers and alleviate symptoms.
-How gut infections like dysbiosis can trigger immune reactions and worsen endometriosis symptoms.
-Self-blame does not help you heal yourself; it is about feeling empowered to take steps to better health.
-How digestion impacts hormone imbalances, and ways to help your digestive system function better like chewing your food properly, drinking water, and daily movement.
I love talking about gut health, and focusing on it has truly transformed both my own health and that of my clients. By improving your gut health, it can alleviate many endometriosis symptoms. Addressing one helps manage the other, as they are closely linked. Understanding your gut empowers you to approach your health comprehensively. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
