In this episode of Reinvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo and Dr. Jessica Drummond, founder of the Integrative Women’s Health Institute and author of Outsmart Endometriosis, expose a shocking reality: endometriosis is not just a “reproductive issue.” It’s a whole-body condition affecting millions, often misdiagnosed, and very much misunderstood. This silent epidemic is wreaking havoc on women’s lives—yet it goes undetected in countless cases.

With organs affected beyond the reproductive system, skyrocketing rates of chronic pain, infertility, and a myriad of related health problems, practitioners need to understand this under-the-radar crisis and know how to help clients who are suffering silently.

• “It’s Not Just Your Period”: Discover why endometriosis impacts far beyond the uterus, and understand why this condition often goes undiagnosed for decades.
• Uncovering the Myths: Think a hysterectomy cures endometriosis? Think again. Find out why common treatments may be setting patients back rather than helping them heal.
• Fertility in Crisis: Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility, but it’s not just a “woman’s issue.” Learn the genetic, environmental, and systemic factors that might be making fertility impossible for many.
• Toxins and Triggers:  Learn how common everyday products, and other environmental factors are silently contributing to a health disaster, worsening endometriosis symptoms and other chronic conditions.
• Painful Truths and Silent Suffering:  Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility, but it’s more than just “bad luck.” Dive into the genetic, lifestyle, and environmental culprits that make conception feel impossible for many women today.

n this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I'm joined by Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, to uncover the hidden ways betrayal can damage physical and emotional health. We explore how unresolved betrayal can trigger chronic issues like leaky gut, immune dysfunction, and hormone imbalances.

We dive into the emotional weight betrayal carries. “It’s one thing to talk about loss, but betrayal? That’s a whole different level of vulnerability.” This hidden shame often leaves people feeling isolated, making it harder to heal. Dr. Debi walks us through the five stages of recovery and how practitioners can help clients move through them to achieve true transformation.

Key Discussion Points:

• How does betrayal affect physical health?  How can emotional trauma manifest as physical conditions like leaky gut, immune dysfunction, and adrenal fatigue.
• What are the five stages of betrayal healing?
• What is Post-Betrayal Syndrome? 
• Why is betrayal often the missing link in healing chronic health conditions?
• actionable strategies can practitioners use to support emotional and physical recovery.

Here are Dr. Debi’s key questions to move to the next stage of healing betrayal:

1. Am I numbing, avoiding, or distracting? If so, how? Am I walking into the kitchen, I’m not hungry, and I’m raiding the cabinets?

2. What am I pretending not to see? Am I pretending not to see that my relationship is in trouble?  Am I pretending not to see that I hate my job?

3. What’s life going to look like in five to ten years if I keep this going? 

4. What would life look like in five to ten years if I make changes now?
