                6. Teens & Endometriosis: How Early Signs Get Ignored

                  Teenagers should not be missing school, sports, or social events because of period pain, but many do. Endometriosis often starts in the teenage years, yet most girls are told their pain is normal or just part of puberty. In this episode, we discuss:

                  • The early warning signs of endometriosis in teens
                  • Why doctors dismiss young girls and delay diagnosis
                  • Why birth control alone is not a solution
                  • How early diagnosis can improve long-term health outcomes

                  • If you or someone you know is experiencing severe period pain, early diagnosis can make a difference. Message me for help finding an endometriosis specialist.

                      Many women with endometriosis are diagnosed with IBS, food sensitivities, or SIBO, yet treatments for these conditions often do not work. The real issue may be endometriosis affecting the gut. In this episode, we cover:

                      • Why do many endo patients also have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and what is SIBO? 
                      • The impact of pelvic adhesions and inflammation on digestion
                      • What GI symptoms could be endometriosis

                      • If you have digestive issues along with period pain, this episode is essential.
