Endometriosis Misdiagnosis: Why Most Doctors Get This Chronic Disease Wrong | Michele Forsberg


Listen Later

What if everything you know about endometriosis is wrong?


This week, Kim sits down with Michele Forsberg, a pelvic physical therapist who's been living with undiagnosed endometriosis for decades while watching her daughter face the same debilitating reality. From a family doctor's devastating dismissal to discovering endometriosis isn't actually the endometrium, Michele exposes the shocking medical misinformation that's keeping millions of women suffering in silence.


In this episode, Michele reveals:


  • ​🔴 Shocking truth: Not a "reproductive disease"—found in fetuses, noses, brain tissue, and throughout the body like "non-cancerous cancer"
  • ​🟢 Medical incompetence: Most surgeons doing "endo surgery" burn lesions instead of removing them, making the problem worse
  • ​🟣 Chronic illness overlap: Strong correlation with EDS, POTS, autoimmune conditions—it's part of a bigger systemic picture
