    It Took 19 YEARS to Diagnose Megs with Endometriosis, Here's What Nobody Checked

    19 years. That's how long it took from Megs's first period to her endometriosis diagnosis — and she only realised the number when Rhiannon made her do the maths live on this episode. This week: the endo deep-dive. Naturopath Rhiannon explains the difference between endometriosis and adenomyosis (they are NOT the same thing), why endo is so often an estrogen-driven condition, and the gut test she'd run on day one — including the crazy-named marker that takes the "wrapping paper" off estrogen your body already tried to throw away and sends it back into circulation. Plus: the endo–IBS link and leaky gut, why the gluten-free aisle can make your inflammation WORSE (looking at you, $8 biscuits), the FODMAP trap — why it works short-term and backfires long-term, the supplements worth knowing about (and why cheap chemist fish oil isn't one of them), how much blood loss is actually normal per cycle (50–80ml — flooding every hour is not it), and Megs's story: the surgery that missed it, the surgery that found it, and the hysterectomy that ended it. Stick around for the symptom diary method — the single most powerful thing you can bring to any practitioner's office — and the rapid-fire "go get checked" list at the end. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — We're back (Megs practised what she preaches) 2:27 — Endo vs adenomyosis: the actual difference 6:59 — Where to start: stress, safety & prostaglandins 9:18 — The gut test Rhiannon runs first (estrogen's escape hatch) 13:32 — The woo segment: generations, energetics & what's actually science 21:02 — The endo–IBS connection & leaky gut 23:00 — The gluten & dairy trial: how to do it properly 29:39 — Why gluten-free products can make you MORE inflamed 34:50 — The FODMAP trap: great short-term, a problem long-term 42:34 — Supplements: NAC, real omega-3s & liver-loving foods 45:58 — Megs's story: 19 years, two surgeries & a hysterectomy 1:00:18 — RAPID FIRE: the symptoms that mean GET CHECKED 1:03:21 — The symptom diary: exactly what to track 1:09:11 — Next week: the full woo-woo episode 🔮 💗 We're putting together a free "what to track before you see a practitioner" symptom diary guide — keep an eye on our socials. And if this episode got you 1% better, follow the show: free, four seconds, and it tells the algorithm to keep bringing you back. ⚠️ Not medical advice — this is general education and lived experience. Supplements and approaches discussed are examples, not prescriptions: work with your own GP or a qualified naturopath. Pain that runs your life is not normal — please get it investigated, and if you're dismissed, find a different practitioner.
