EF#21: How Endometriosis Affects Fertility with Lizzie Alexander


Listen Later

For the first episode in Season 2, and as its Endometriosis Awareness Month, I wanted to talk to you all about how your fertility can be affected by Endometriosis. This is not to scare you, but to present you with what is known and understood, so that you can then understand why certain actions to improve your health and fertility are recommended.

Medical knowledge of Endometriosis is still underway and continually evolving with new science – this is why in allopathic medicine there is no known cure. In functional medicine, there is an understanding of the systems that are affected by Endometriosis and this gives a roadmap of what steps and tools are needed for your body to heal and optimise your fertility.

In this episode I talk about:

  • Endometriosis statistics
  • What Endometriosis is and does to your body
  • Three direct ways your fertility is affected by Endo
  • Five indirect ways fertility is affected
  • The use of massage to improve blood flow, breakdown scar tissue and unblock fallopian tubes
  • The importance of improving gut health and its impact on your fertility
  • Why you should share your personal story with Endo with your family, friends and strangers

As always there is lots more information about this episode on my website, i.e. what exactly was discussed, references, and the mentioned podcast episodes, blogs or resources: https://www.endofertilityspecialist.com/endo-fertility-podcast/

And, if you enjoyed this episode, I would love it if you could leave me a rating and a review – as this helps spread the love to other women in need. Thank you!
