“Most people with endometriosis have several symptoms, not just painful periods.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond

Endometriosis is a structural immune disorder that affects around one in ten women. With this condition, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows anywhere in the body outside the uterus.

Each case of endometriosis can present differently, and the condition is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, with an average delay of diagnosis of around 12 years. Symptoms can start in pre-puberty, first showing up as gut or digestive issues. Later, we often see menstrual pain, bladder pain, and various comorbidities such as mast cell activation syndrome.

Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond to have a comprehensive chat about endometriosis, which can be a very complex condition to treat. Dr. Jessica is the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. For over two decades, she has worked with women with complex chronic illnesses such as endometriosis, pelvic pain, painful bladder syndrome, and vulvodynia and has educated practitioners in over 60 countries. She takes a root cause, innovative approach to healing in collaboration with her clients and students.

In this conversation, Dr. Jessica and I discuss her journey into women's health, the complexities of endometriosis, its symptoms, the challenges in diagnosis and treatment, integrative management approaches, the relationship between endometriosis and thyroid health, why it’s crucial to find a skilled surgeon, non-surgical options for managing endometriosis and more. Enjoy the episode!
