As March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, we hope you are enjoying our Endometriosis Mini Series, shining a light on this chronic condition affecting 1 in 9 women and people born with ovaries. 

Waaaay back in Feburary 2020  I shared a bit about my own journey with endometriosis. So I thought it would be a good time to update you on my personal journey as an endo warrior! 

My story is not uncommon but it does highlight the journey to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery with endo! What I do now for my day-to-day management (hint it never really ends AND  it's super personal to you). And I guess the biggest one ...how I feel about the future with endo.  I hope you enjoy my story.

We are back with our Endometriosis Mini-Series in honour of Endometriosis Awareness Month this March! With 1 in 9 people born with a uterus experiencing endometriosis, delays of 7-12 years for a diagnosis and the wide-reaching impacts it can have socially, emotionally, physically and on fertility, I thought it deserves all the awareness it can get! (Plus, I have endometriosis too!)

This week's episode is all about the role of the gut microbiome in endometriosis, how it might very well be the new frontier in learning more about endometriosis diagnosis and treatment!
