  5. Why Do We Trust Doctors More Than Ourselves?

    Why Do We Trust Doctors More Than Ourselves?

    Why do so many women with endometriosis endure years of pain and suffering before seeking help—or worse, wait until their symptoms are unbearable to take action? Why do we trust a medical system that often advises us to "wait until it's bad enough for surgery," yet dismiss or distrust natural, holistic approaches that could address root causes rather than just manage symptoms? In this controversial episode, we’ll explore the cultural, societal, and medical narratives that keep women trapped in this cycle. We'll question why so many of us put faith in treatments that allow us to hit rock bottom before offering temporary relief—yet rarely lead to a cure. We’ll also discuss why natural and alternative methods are often overlooked or dismissed, despite evidence of their effectiveness. Is it a lack of awareness? A mistrust of approaches outside the Western medical model? Or have we simply been conditioned to believe that anything “natural” is less credible?

    Symptom-Proof Your Christmas

    Christmas is a magical time of year, but let’s be honest—it can also be a rollercoaster of emotions, especially when you’re juggling festive expectations with symptoms like fatigue, pain and hormonal mood swings. In this episode, we’ll explore how to navigate the holiday season with grace, humour, and plenty of self-compassion. From managing energy dips to setting healthy boundaries, I’ll share practical tips to keep your spirits bright while embracing the occasional wobble. We’ll talk about building joyful rituals, diffusing emotional curveballs, and finding laughter in the chaos (even if the turkey burns or the tree topples over). Whether you’re feeling frazzled, festive, or a mix of both, this episode will help you stay centred and find the fun in the little moments that matter most. It’s time to take the pressure off, ditch the perfect-Christmas myth, and give yourself the gift of a calmer, happier holiday season.
