Endometriosis is a super common condition, affecting 1 in 9 women, yet it often takes an average of 7 years to get a diagnosis. Which means so many women are left suffering with often debilitating symptoms for far too long. That's why it's crucial to talk about endo and raise awareness.

In this episode of the podcast, we’re chatting with Emma Berry, an Osteopath who not only supports women with endo in her work but also has personal experience with the condition.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

• The most common symptoms associated with endometriosis, including some that you wouldn’t expect

• The diagnostic process, and why so many women go undiagnosed

• Emma’s personal experience having a laparoscopy and what her recovery looked like post-surgery, and how her symptoms have changed after the procedure

• The lifestyle practices that helped Emma significantly reduce her symptoms

• We also dive into osteopathy, and how it Emma uses it to support women with endometriosis in managing their symptoms and improving their overall quality of life

If you experience reflux, heartburn, GERD or LPR, you must understand the hidden driver of these conditions.

The conventional treatments options for reflux aren’t designed to be taken long term, and despite this, so many people wind up being stuck on PPIs for years of even decades.

In this episode, I cover:

• The problem with PPIs, H2 blockers and antacids

• The hidden cause of reflux and how to address the root cause to help you get results in a sustainable way

• Common acid reflux trigger foods (and why trigger foods are a symptom, not a cause, of reflux)

Tune in to gain insights into the hidden cause of acid reflux and discover effective approaches to overcome it in a sustainable manner.
