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. Postural Tachycardia Syndrome Diagnostic Pathway and Criteria

    Postural Tachycardia Syndrome Diagnostic Pathway and Criteria

    I recently did a couple of Instagram carousels about postural tachycardia syndrome or dysautonomia signs and symptoms I see in clients - and the response was absolutely overwhelming, unlike anything I have experienced before (and I’ve had my Instagram for about 12 or so years!). The post has been viewed over 120,000 times and has been saved around 500 times now. This is clearly something so many of you are struggling with, and I had a lot of people asking how to get diagnosed, or saying they’ve been dismissed by doctors. So, today’s episode is a bit of an emergency response to all of these requests.

  4. Evidence-Based Nutrients for PMS, PMDD, Endo Pain and ADHD, and the Gap Between Nutrition Research and Medicine with Alice van der Schoot of Ditto

    Evidence-Based Nutrients for PMS, PMDD, Endo Pain and ADHD, and the Gap Between Nutrition Research and Medicine with Alice van der Schoot of Ditto

    Alice van der Schoot is a PhD nutrition scientist with a background in neuroscience. Her work brings together both fields to explore how nutrition can impact underlying mechanisms of PMS, PMDD, and period pain to reduce symptoms - from neurotransmitter function, to pain processing and inflammation. Recognising that valuable research often remains hidden in academic journals, Alice founded DITTO to address the disconnect between scientific evidence and meaningful solutions in menstrual health. DITTO has a clinically studied supplement formulated specifically for PMS, PMDD, and period pain, with key nutrients that may also support individuals with endometriosis. DITTO's social channels are also a platform for science communication - breaking down important research to make it accessible to those who need it most, and if you haven’t checked out her Instagram to see her coverage on research, I highly recommend you do! ⁠References⁠ DITTO links Website Instagram @ditto.daily 20% discount code: ENDOBELLY Affiliate Partnerships DITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

  8. Easy Interstitial Cystitis Trigger Food Swaps to Bring Joy and Flavour Back to Meals

    25/10/2025

    Easy Interstitial Cystitis Trigger Food Swaps to Bring Joy and Flavour Back to Meals

    This episode was inspired by a recent Substack of mine. I have a section in my Substack called ‘What I’m eating lately’ and it’s just a section where I share healthy meal ideas that support us with endo and our many chronic illnesses. I shared how I had started using whole seeds instead of spices for my interstitial cystitis, and I got a really positive response from others who had struggled with bland meals since their IC developed. So, for those of you who aren’t aware, interstitial cystitis is also called Bladder Pain Syndrome, and is a condition that causes bladder pressure, frequent urination, poor bladder emptying, bladder pain and more, without a clear cause. It’s a co-condition of endometriosis, and it can be extremely debilitating to live with. I have multiple episodes on the condition, so if you want to deep dive into it, go on a scroll through my podcast feed, and I’ve linked a few below.

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.
