Jen Moore: Don't Compare Your Endo Journey With Others


Listen Later

I’m so pleased to speak to Jen Moore, a medical campaigner and author of the new book, Endometriosis: Understand your symptoms, Get the right treatment, Reclaim your life on today's episode of Period Story podcast.


In this episode, Jen shares: 


  • Why it took 22 years to finally get an endometriosis diagnosis 
  • How a failed surgery led to her groundbreaking medical gaslighting campaign They Said What?
  • How therapy helped her with the emotional healing required after having a hysterectomy 
  • How she almost needed a new endometriosis diagnosis after her hysterectomy due to the spread of the condition on her ovaries, bowels, kidneys and bladder
  • How a casual conversation with a friend led to her writing a book on endometriosis 
  • Her advice for those struggling to get a diagnosis
  • And of course, the story of her first period 


Jen says that endometriosis is such an individual condition and it’s so important that we don’t compare journeys - the only comparison is with yourself. 


Thank you, Jen!
