Join us this month as Tori courageously shares her powerful and inspiring journey. Despite not having the "typical" endometriosis symptoms, Tori’s search for answers led to a surprising and challenging diagnosis: a prolactinoma, a noncancerous brain tumor of the pituitary gland.

In this episode, Tori opens up about her experience with endometriosis and the discovery of her prolactinoma, which causes the pituitary gland to produce excessive prolactin. This imbalance significantly affects levels of key sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, leading to various health impacts.

We delve into the complexities of her dual diagnosis, discussing not only the medical aspects but also the profound emotional and psychological impacts. Tori’s story sheds light on fertility issues, the struggle for accurate diagnosis, and the resilience required to navigate such a journey.

Tune in to hear Tori’s story of strength and hope, and gain valuable insights that could help others facing similar challenges.
