From the best surgery to natural therapies, This EndoLife Podcast empowers you to live and thrive with endometriosis and its co-conditions through a holistic, functional medicine approach. I’m covering all the topics that often aren’t discussed in the doctor’s office, whether that’s how to eat well for endometriosis, how to treat the endo belly or just what exactly is SIBO? Come join myself (and my guests!) as we dive into anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut health, hormones, pain science, mental health, sex, energy and living life well with endo.

  1. The Latest Research on the Elemental Diet for SIBO with mBiota CEO Nicola Wodlinger

    The Latest Research on the Elemental Diet for SIBO with mBiota CEO Nicola Wodlinger

    Today I am talking to Nicola Wodlinger, CEO of mBIOTA, the founders of the mBIOTA Elemental diet, which is a treatment I use with many of my SIBO clients but is also a treatment for other gastrointestinal conditions such as IBS and Crohn’s. The elemental diet is notoriously bad tasting, so the founders of mBIOTA set out to create an elemental diet that was both clinically effective for treating SIBO whilst also being palatable enough for patients to actually finish the treatment, which has been a challenge historically. They are also investing into research and have found some incredible effects of mBIOTA for SIBO and even candida. So today, Nicola and I are discussing what the elemental diet is and why it’s used for SIBO treatment, the effectiveness of the elemental diet and what their research has found (which is fascinating, btw), challenges of the elemental diet and how to overcome them, and how to transition off the formula, which is a point of confusion for many SIBO-ers. So, if you struggle with SIBO, IBS or you have endo belly and you’re wondering what could be behind it, I really recommend tuning into this conversation! Oh and also, I just had to share this, mBIOTA is an entirely female led and staffed company, which I thought was pretty cool and many of you would appreciate!

    These Simple Evidenced-Based Strategies Can Actually Lower Your Oxidative Stress Markers with Endo

    Recently we’ve been talking about oxidative stress and endo, and how it can lead to more inflammation and pain, but also endo growth and earlier perimenopause or ovarian decline. So today, rather than throwing a tonne of strategies at you in one go, I want to offer some simple dietary hacks that can truly increase your antioxidant levels and measurably lower your oxidative stress and inflammation levels.

    Early Perimenopause Changes and Symptoms for Endometriosis Patients

    Last week I talked about why those of us with endo may be experiencing earlier perimenopause, and why we’re at greater risk of early menopause and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency. This week, in case you’re in this group, I wanted to share what is happening in the first half of perimenopause and the symptoms to look out for, as for us endo peeps, they’re a bit different from the average.

    Why People with Endo are at Higher Risk of Early Menopause and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

    I wanted to do this episode on perimenopause and menopause because so many clients are in perimenopause or are approaching the age when it begins, and often when they come to me, they have no idea what’s going on and how all these worsened or new symptoms could all be connected to one thing.

    WTF is Oxidative Stress and What’s Its Role in Endo?

    Today I want to start a series called ‘WTF is…?’ where we look at the different mechanisms behind endo growth and development so we can understand them better and understand why we may want to focus on endo management changes like diet and lifestyle.

    How to Give Your Diet an Anti-Inflammatory Glow Up Without the Overwhelm

    Today’s episode is a nice short, and practical episode as I know we’ve been very science heavy lately! I was having a conversation with a client this week, who would like to make some changes to her diet not just for endo, but due to some other health issues which would benefit from leaning towards more of an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean style of eating. And often, we assume in this day and age of wellness, that changes need to be elaborate, restrictive or include lots of supplements, but often, we really need to get started first with the foundations.

  7. POTS and Dysautonomia 101

    POTS and Dysautonomia 101

    Welcome to our continued series exploring the trifecta of POTS, MCAS and h-EDS/hypermobility,  and today we are basically doing a little POTS 101. POTS is a condition caused by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the part of our nervous system which governs involuntary actions of the body that essentially keep us alive and we don’t have to think about in order for them to happen, such as breathing, heart beat, blood pressure regulation, blood sugar regulation, digestion and so on. POTS is a type of dysautonomia (which is a spectrum of conditions and symptoms caused by this dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system) which causes a rapid increase in heart rate when going from sitting to standing. This change in heart rate is caused by pooling of blood in the lower body, which isn’t getting up to the heart and the brain like it normally should, resulting in the heart working harder to get the the blood moving. This reduced blood flow causes dizziness, breathlessness, feeling faint or fainting, palpitations and chest pain, and the change in heart rate can be measured.
