Ep 61: Creating a Supplement for Endometriosis with Lauren and Catherine Lee of Semaine Health


Listen Later

I often get asked what are the best supplements for endometriosis. I always state that what works for me, may not work for you, so I generally share information on the vitamins and herbal supplements that have been shown to help with endometriosis in studies. But there' is something I always share, which is true for the majority for us with endometriosis - reducing inflammation is one of the key components in managing endometriosis. That can be done through eating an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing stress and if appropriate, taking certain health supplements such as curcumin.

I have found that using anti-inflammatory supplements have made a huge difference in reducing my endometriosis pain, specifically, ginger root powder, turmeric and magnesium. That’s why I was so excited when I heard about Semaine; a new supplement design specifically to reduce inflammation and pain for people with painful periods and endometriosis.

Lauren and Catherine Lee are the incredible and literal endo sisters (well - endo twins) behind Semaine, who went on a quest to find a form of pain relief that didn’t negatively effect their bodies. After going through decades of pain without an answer, and then not finding a huge amount of relief from that pain after diagnosis, they begun digging into the studies and research on endometriosis, inflammation and natural options for pain reduction. After experiencing amazing results, they were inspired to see if their herbal and vitamin blend could help others with period pain. After successfully trialing their supplement, Semaine was born.

In this episode, we talk about Lauren and Catherine’s journey to diagnosis, the science behind endometriosis pain and inflammation, the research behind herbs, spices, minerals and vitamins such as vitamin D, magnesium and green tea extract; and why Semaine is about both education and solutions when it comes to living and thriving with endometriosis.
