In this week’s episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re shining a light on a condition that affects millions of women worldwide, yet is so often misunderstood or overlooked: endometriosis—and its powerful connection to the gut.

If you’ve ever wondered why endometriosis can feel like “more than period pain,” why gut symptoms like bloating, constipation, or IBS so often go hand in hand, or how inflammation and hormones tie this all together, this episode is for you. Kirsty sits down with naturopath Emily to unpack the science, the lived experience, and the practical steps you can take to support both your gut and your hormones when living with endometriosis.

This isn’t about a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about understanding the root drivers—immune dysregulation, inflammation, estrogen metabolism, and the microbiome—and how addressing these can reduce pain, improve digestion, and support long-term health.

✅ What endometriosis actually is: an estrogen-dependent, inflammatory condition that goes far beyond the uterus
✅ Why it’s often misdiagnosed as IBS, and how pelvic inflammation and adhesions affect gut function
✅ The role of the gut microbiome: how dysbiosis, low bacterial diversity, and “leaky gut” can drive symptoms
✅ The estrobolome explained: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen, and why this matters for endo
✅ Common symptoms—from severe period pain to fatigue, depression, painful intercourse, and beyond
✅ Nutritional foundations: anti-inflammatory eating, fibre for hormone clearance, omega-3s, colourful plants
✅ Functional testing: stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, hormone panels, and how they guide treatment
✅ Herbs & nutrients for gut and hormone support: curcumin, NAC, glutamine, magnesium, vitamins A & D
✅ Practical strategies: balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and restoring microbial diversity

“You’re not imagining it—endo is a whole-body condition. But there is hope. Supporting gut health can transform hormone balance, reduce pain, and give you your quality of life back.”

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, navigating ongoing symptoms, or looking for a more holistic approach, this episode will give you clarity on the gut–hormone connection and tools to move forward with confidence.

What We Cover:✨ Fun Glow-Up Rapid Fire:

In this week’s episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most relatable patterns we see in clinic: relying on caffeine to get through the day—only to crash by 3pm.

If you’re constantly reaching for that next coffee, feeling wired but exhausted, or stuck in a cycle of fatigue, stimulation, and burnout… this conversation is for you. Kirsty and Nicole unpack the science of how caffeine affects your nervous system, hormones, and adrenals, and more importantly—how to use it more mindfully while supporting your energy naturally.

This isn’t about quitting caffeine cold turkey. It’s about understanding your body, your unique caffeine metabolism, and learning how to fuel energy from the ground up, instead of running on empty.

✅ Why caffeine isn’t “bad”—but context and timing matter
✅ How caffeine triggers the crash cycle (and messes with adenosine, your natural sleep pressure system)
✅ The genetic and hormonal reasons some people metabolise caffeine faster than others
✅ Signs your adrenals might be under stress: wired-tired, anxiety, poor recovery, sleep issues
✅ What your adrenal glands actually do, and how caffeine can push them beyond capacity
✅ Tools to support balanced energy:

• Eating breakfast before coffee

• Blood sugar-friendly meals

• Nervous system rituals (sunlight, breathwork, movement)

• Magnesium, B-vitamins, adaptogens
  ✅ A better way to use caffeine: when to delay it, cycle it, or swap it out
  ✅ How to know what balanced energy actually feels like in your body

“You don’t have to quit coffee—but you do deserve to feel good without depending on it.”

Whether you’re running on lattes or feeling the afternoon slump every day, this episode will give you the insight and tools to reset your energy, rebuild your resilience, and reclaim your mornings—without the crash.
