"It's really important to know that endometriosis is not always progressive." - Katie Edmonds

A healing journey can be a nourishing experience. When we stop thinking of food as medicine but instead as part of a bigger lifestyle shift with social connection and emotional support, we can see the transformative potential of a truly holistic approach to optimizing our health.

It’s not about finding the perfect endo diet. Start with eating whole foods and tuning into what your body tells you about what it needs. From there, you can start fine-tuning as you figure out what’s best for your unique body. Give yourself time to get familiar and comfortable and let go of rigidity. Nourishing every part of your body and soul at the same time is critical.

Today, I’m joined by endometriosis author, educator, and Nutritional Therapist Katie Edmonds to explore why nourishment is an essential part of bringing your endometriosis into symptom remission. Katie wrote the 4-Week Endometriosis Diet Plan and Heal Endo: An Anti-Inflammatory Approach to Healing From Endometriosis. She lives on the North Shore of Kaua`i next to the biggest mahogany forest in the United States (fun fact) with her loving husband and two wonderful “miracle” kiddos. She's absolutely passionate about helping women with endometriosis.

In this episode, Katie and I talk about why endometriosis requires a holistic approach, Katie’s struggle with endometriosis and fertility issues, the role of stress, the complexity of endometriosis, the impact of diet and lifestyle on symptom management, Katie’s three pillars of nutrition for endometriosis, the value of individualized care, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
