Kimberly is a nutritionist and naturopath and her approach is practical, empathic, holistic, yet scientific. Her experience within the field of health is exceedingly varied and thorough, as she has immersed herself in diverse health ventures in Australia and Indonesia. ​

In the episode, Kimberly and I dive deep into all things women’s health, in particular around topics we are not educated on or talk about enough, including common conditions such as endometriosis, period pains, diabetes, loss of periods, hormone imbalances. I have learned so much through this conversation, and I really suggest you take our your notebooks because this is not just for somebody who struggles with hormones, but it is an educational conversation around women’s health in general.

 

You don’t want to miss out on:

• The struggles as a mom during this lockdown in Australia.

• Kimberly openly shares about her journey with endo and how she is managing with this condition right now.

• How many many women go through many years without any symptoms and therefore not knowing they have this condition.

• What is endometriosis laparoscopy and how this procedure is used to remove endometriosis - important information!

• She shares her procedure in 2013 and how she has managed without surgery but holistically to prevent regrowth.

• She now helps clients treat endo through herbal medicine, nutrition, and other alternative medicine that she promotes.

• What you should ALSO look out for if you have endometriosis and the symptoms to look out for.

• This is important to know - Period pain is COMMON but it is NOT NORMAL. Kimberly elaborates on this along with other pains you may experience that is not normal.

• Have you heard of the ‘endo bloat’? Kimberly explains more on this…

• How women may have zero symptoms but struggle from infertility.

• I ask Kimberly why some of us experience period pains and what CAN we do to improve that?

• What are the natural supplements and herbs we can take to help ease the pain?

• We also chatted in-depth about women who have lost their period and WHAT that means, as well as what you can do.
