In This Episode:  

  • One woman out of four will be impacted by Endometriosis.
  • It's a chronic illness that affects women with numerous symptoms that make it hard to diagnose.
  • People often confuse the symptoms of Endometriosis with PMS pain leading many to go undiagnosed.
  • We talk about how it is important for women to educate themselves and learn to advocate for themselves as doctors.  
  • Saran shares the story of her diagnosis.
  • We spend time talking about the importance of women advocating for themselves in a health care system that was built by men for men, especially women of color.
  • Women suffer, on average, for 10 years with endometriosis before being diagnosed, for Saran it was 20 years.
  • We talk about the importance of empowering yourself to find the right information to educate yourself so you can become your best advocate and how to leverage your platforms to help employers, family members, and doctors understand more about endometriosis.

Quotes from Today's Episode:


"I can tell you that it's the only pain that they're comparing it to childbirth. So you can just imagine how painful it is." ~Saran

"I've been living with it since I was a teenager. So more than 20 years of dealing with it without knowing it, I suffer so much growing up. My parents didn't know what to do. We all thought it was just bad period pain." ~Saran
