In episode 66, we interview Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and author of The 4-Week Endometriosis Diet Plan, Katie Edmonds, about many of the underlying health issues that can contribute to endometriosis and how to develop an effective whole-body healing protocol to reduce your pain and restore your fertility. Katie shares her personal journey with endo and infertility and then we start diving into some of the most important aspects of healing that simply aren't being shared with most women diagnosed with this condition. While there might not be a "cure" for endometriosis, that doesn't mean that you're destined to live in pain and struggle to build your family. In fact, many of the common symptoms associated with this disease are not even driven by the presence of the endo lesions themselves, but are actually a result of other health issues that tend to occur alongside endo, such and gut dysfunction ( think "endo belly"), nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, and immune system dysfunction. This episode will help you completely reframe the way you think about endometriosis and open up a whole world of options you didn't know you had to start feeling better and give yourself the best possible chance at a healthy pregnancy.

In episode 65, we welcome real food dietitian and author of Real Food for Pregnancy, Lily Nichols, back to the podcast. Lily helps us understand why there’s so much conflicting dietary advice out there, why nutrition science is so messy, and how we can change the way we think about research and government guidelines so we can find out what really nourishes each of us on a personal level. There is no single perfect diet that works for everyone and it’s important for us not to get so caught up in dietary dogma that we forget to be in touch with what supports our health individually and makes us feel our best. If you're ready to let go of strict food rules and obsessive macronutrient tracking, and instead focus on the nutrient-density and overall quality of the foods you’re eating, this episode is definitely for you!

In episode 63, we interview women's health and hormone expert, Dr. Anna Cabeca, about how to overcome a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). Many women receive these diagnoses in a fertility clinic and are told that they’re essentially going into menopause – sometimes even in their late 20’s or early 30’s. It’s a heartbreaking diagnosis and one that traditional fertility medicine can’t offer much hope for. IVF is often not even recommended for patients with these issues because doctors typically see a poor response to stimulation medication. But, if you’ve received a DOR or POI diagnosis, we’re here to share some hope with you! It IS possible to recover ovarian function and get pregnant with your own eggs. The key is to find out what’s causing your ovaries to lose vitality and function and address it from a root cause perspective. In this episode, we're going to be talking with Dr. Cabeca about her personal experience recovering from a diagnosis of early menopause, what we know from research and clinical experience about what can cause or contribute to this devastating issue, and what women can do to start recovering their hormones, egg quality, and fertility. You can find show notes for the episode, along with links to Dr. Cabeca's website, social media, book, and free "Slim, Sane, and Sexy" ebook on our website at https://tinyfeet.co/my-podcast/63.

In episode 62, we interview functional digestive health and SIBO expert, Dr. Allison Siebecker, about testing, treatment, and long-term prevention of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). In the U.S. 10-15% of the population is suffering with IBS and two thirds of these cases occur in women. Newer evidence shows that more than 60% of IBS cases are actually caused by SIBO, making this a major issue affecting women's health and, ultimately, fertility. IBS and SIBO can lead to nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and systemic inflammation, all of which impact reproductive health in a negative way. We're excited to have Dr. Siebecker with us today to talk about how you can find out if you have SIBO, what causes it, and how to get effective treatment so you can regain your health and support your fertility. This episode is for anyone who is struggling with their digestive health, especially those with regular symptoms of bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, or both.
