What if the key to managing your endometriosis symptoms lies not in restrictive diets but in a compassionate, evidence-based approach to nutrition? Join us on Endo Battery as we welcome Sarah Rae, a registered dietitian with personal experience in endometriosis and adenomyosis, who navigated a challenging healthcare journey filled with painful periods, hormonal treatments, and a path to motherhood that led to a hysterectomy. Sarah's story highlights the importance of proper excision surgery and her passion for empowering others through personalized nutrition strategies, steering clear of the restrictive fads often found on social media.

Ever wondered about the difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietitian? We break down the rigorous training and accreditation required to become a registered dietitian, emphasizing the crucial role they play in providing evidence-based, personalized advice, especially for managing conditions like endometriosis. Sarah and I discuss the potential hazards of following unverified and restrictive diets, which can do more harm than good, and the importance of consulting with endo-informed professionals to maintain a balanced and healthy relationship with food.

From debunking myths about endometriosis nutrition to offering practical tips for balanced meals, this episode covers it all. We explore the misconceptions surrounding gluten and endometriosis, the importance of intuitive eating, and the role of genetics in managing symptoms. Tune in as we equip you with the knowledge and tools to improve your well-being, embrace your genetic makeup, and foster a positive relationship with food, all while navigating the complexities of endometriosis.
