  • EF#16: Ruby's Endo Healing Journey, Weight Loss & TTC

    This week's episode is an interview with Ruby Ben from Ruby Ben Health in Texas, the USA. Ruby tells us about how she finally found out she had Endometriosis when she and her husband were trying to get pregnant. She explains how finally working out she needed to look at her body as a whole, listen to what it needed, feeding it foods that didn't use lots of energy to digest them, so she had the energy to heal her body. She also shares her fertility journey, how she wants to get pregnant naturally and the steps she has taken. Ruby then shares how she wanted to then help other women in the same position about her self-healing journey she has learnt on her journey with other women.

  • EF#15: Adenomyosis vs Endometriosis – a Natural Healing Approach with Sara Lopez

    This week's episode is all about Adenomyosis (Adeno), often called the sister to Endometriosis. I had a great interview with Sara Lopez, who has Adeno, and who is also an Adenomyosis Coach. According to one study, that Sara mentions in the interview, 91% of women with Endometriosis have Adenomyosis, they just may never know. In this episode we talk about the symptoms, differences from Endo, how to get it diagnosed, how you can manage it with a holistic approach, how it might fertility and more.

    Sara Lopez, M. Ed. is a Certified Hormone Specialist and Adenomyosis Coach. She works with women who struggle with adenomyosis or heavy periods to find healing and relief holistically. Sara has always cared about women's health, and when she was a teen her mother suddenly had a hysterectomy - her recovery was long and painful to watch. She decided she wanted to help others find alternative ways to heal besides hysterectomy. She wanted to be that woman that says "of course you can find relief holistically", so she became a women's health coach. Now that I've seen so many women have huge health shifts with a holistic approach, I can say that it IS possible if you are ready!

    The things we discussed were:

    • Sara's journey with Adenomyosis
    • What Adenomyosis is and the comparison to Endometriosis
    • Symptoms of Adenomyosis
    • Methods of diagnosis
    • How to address low iron resulting from heavy periods
    • How Adeno affects fertility

    • How lymph affects nerves around the abdomen
    • Localised estrogen in the uterus and progesterone-receptor issues

  • EF#13: Histamine Intolerance, Pelvic Floor Therapy and Surgery with Ashley Looft

    Today's episode is with the lovely Ashley Looft from the US, who has gone to some incredible lengths to work out why she had horrendous painful periods, poor health and numerous miscarriages. She explains how she found out she has PCOS and Endometriosis and then what she did to become pain-free.

    I love to hear true healing success stories that inspire you that it is possible to live pain-free. There is a lot in the media at the moment about women taking a long time to get diagnoses, how they struggle with their day to day life, but little in the way healing stories. It is possible for women to use an integrative approach of medical and natural approaches to allow their bodies to heal and come to live pain-free. Ashley shares her experience with overcoming histamine intolerance and using physical therapy and surgeries to live a pain-free.

    Ashley Looft is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps women experiencing fertility and cycle struggles dig deep to find the root of their struggles and uses nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle to support their bodies in healing so that they can live their most healthy, happy, and fertile life. She came to this work through her own struggles with PCOS, Endometriosis, and 4 pregnancy losses. Ashley was tired of going to the doctor and being told that her only options were the pill or to get pregnant so she decided to take matters into her own hands and apprenticed with Nicole Jardim to become a Women's Health Coach and then continued on to go to school for Nutritional Therapy. When Ashley is not working to help others she loves to spend time with her husband and two dogs travelling, reading, cooking, running, and hiking in the beautiful Arizona desert.

Dr Jessica Drummond DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC is the founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute (IWHI) and the author of Outsmart Endometriosis. I have learnt a huge amount from Jessica as I have been attending the Institute for a variety of specialities from functional nutrition to optimal fertility as I further my education. She is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject of women's health, in particular Endometriosis, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum. We had a great conversation and there is SOOO much great information and actionable nuggets for you to take away and use to improve your health, reduce your pain and better your Endometriosis and how optimising your fertility will benefit your baby in the long term.

  • EF#7: Using the mind's visualisation capabilities to improve your fertility with Joanne Verkuilen

    In today's podcast episode I interview a woman who's voice I have listened to many many nights during my fertility journey, so as you can imagine it was a great honour to interview her and hear her voice for real! My guest is Joanne Verkuilen, the creator and mastermind behind Circle and Bloom, which provides guided visualisation and meditation programs for fertility and much more.

    We really enjoyed recording this episode and our conversation covered everything from PCOS, Endometriosis, infertility, power of the mind, the placebo effect and how powerful this is, the need for hope and empowerment, how our body just needs the right tools to be able to heal itself and much more! I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration from this, and that what you think and believe about your body, really does have a physical impact on your body. You can control how you are feeling.

    Joanne Verkuilen is the founder of Circle + Bloom which aims to share the incredible power of the mind-body connection. Her various programs and guided meditations are designed to empower anyone on their journey. Diagnosed with PCOS and the possibility of infertility as a late teen, she did struggle to conceive. She had two very different pregnancy experiences but it ended with two happy, beautiful children.

    When her friend Stephanie also started having fertility problems and seeing what she went through, this gave Joanne a business idea. Thus she created Circle + Bloom back in 2008. Exploring the connection between the mind and body, she created a meditation program for both infertility and cancer. Her company grew fairly into the scale that it is today and has since helped over 50,000 women worldwide.

    The topics we discussed were:

    • Joanne's PCOS and secondary infertility journey
    • The rollercoaster, emotional pain and trauma associated with infertility journeys
    • How Joanne found visualisation and meditation helped her best friends fertility, and went on to create Circle & Bloom with the support of Bernie Siegel (best selling author)
    • An amazing story of a boy who overcame fatal brain cancer through visualisations
    • How a plant-based diet has helped really helped her have healthy ovaries free of PCOS
    • The importance of the mind-body connection and how you can reverse long term negative beliefs that can be some peoples root causes behind unexplained infertility and Endo pain.
    • The need for taking control, hope, belief and empowerment when it comes to health conditions and not to accept negative believe patterns as the truth.
    • The believe you can reverse conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis through reversing our thought processes.
    • How our bodies are incredible and have the ability to heal with the right physical, mental and spiritual tools.
    • The pain-fear-tension triangle in relation to Endometriosis and how visualisation and meditation could be used to break this and assist with reducing Endo pain.
