Everything You Weren't Told About Endometriosis (with Jill Mueller PT)
This is a special episode. It's the first time I've had a guest on the podcast.
I sat down with Jill Mueller, a pelvic health physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience, whose own journey with endometriosis, period pain, and fertility challenges led her to dedicate her career to this work. Jill brings together pain science, nervous system education, and deep clinical expertise in a way that I find genuinely rare in this space.
If you have endometriosis, suspect you might, or have had a procedure and are still in pain, this conversation is for you.
We talk about what endometriosis actually is, why diagnosis is so difficult to access, what surgery can and can't do, and what else beyond the tissue may be driving your pain. We also talk about lifestyle, nervous system regulation, the role of emotional health in healing, and Jill's incredible interdisciplinary program, Endometriosis360.
I hope this episode gives you clarity, and most of all, hope.
In This Episode We Cover:
What endometriosis actually is, and why it's so often misunderstood
The different types of endo and where it can be found in the body
Why diagnosis is so hard to access, and what to look for in a provider
Imaging vs. laparoscopy: what the updated guidelines now say
Ablation vs. excision surgery, and why it matters
Why pain can return after surgery, and what that actually means
The role of the nervous system in driving endo-related pain
Conditioned responses, sensory remapping, and how the brain maps the body
Why support groups can sometimes increase distress rather than reduce it
Lifestyle factors, nutrition, and nervous system resilience
The Endometriosis360 interdisciplinary program
Why hope is not naive. It's necessary.
Resources Mentioned:

I Care Better (US): find a provider in the US
David Butler's Pin Box demonstration on YouTube (sensory motor dysregulation)
Inside Out 2 (genuinely assigned homework from both of us)
About Jill Mueller:
Jill has been a physiotherapist since 2001, but her passion for pelvic health was born from personal experience. After years of struggling with period pain and fertility challenges due to endometriosis, she shifted her focus to understanding and addressing the complexities of this condition.
Through deep dives into pain science and endometriosis research, Jill recognized a significant gap in education and practical support for those living with endo. Whether working one-on-one, leading group programs, or speaking internationally, she is dedicated to empowering people with pelvic health conditions and equipping healthcare practitioners with the knowledge needed to provide better care.
Jill is also a founding member and lead physiotherapist of Endometriosis360, an innovative interdisciplinary virtual group program designed to help individuals with endometriosis.
