Does The Pill Actually Work for Endo?


Listen Later

This week on the podcast I’m sharing a conversation I had with herbalist and Forage Botanicals founder Natasha Richardson. Natasha develops natural remedies for period problems, as well as incredible products for bladder problems, fatigue and stress. She has a Facebook group where she teaches menstrual health and wellbeing and kindly invited me on for a chat with her and her audience.

In this discussion, we talk about -

  • SIBO and endometriosis - the signs, symptoms and prevalence
  • How gut health can contribute to endometriosis development
  • The various theories behind endometriosis growth including immune dysfunction and mast cells
  • My views on hormonal treatments for endometriosis including whether we’re really getting fully informed consent and whether effectiveness is accurately portrayed
  • The role of medicine vs. a holistic approach in endometriosis management.
  • Some of these topics are delicate, and it can be tricky to navigate them when having a chat that isn’t a carefully pre-planned presentation, but I hope I was able to share my views in a delicate and considerate manner.
