Join me today as I chat with Candice; this is part one of two. We discuss migraines, pain, bleeding after sex, IUDs, painful bowel movements, and more on this episode. Candice is a true warrior; when you hear part one of her story- she describes her intense pain, bowel movements, and how she had a purge almost monthly around her cycle. She tells us about how she pushed through to make it work.

Please stay tuned for the rest of her story very soon.

Dr Mathew Leonardi is an advanced gynecological surgeon and sonologist (ultrasound specialist) at McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton, Canada. He has been awarded his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney, which focused on the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing and managing endometriosis. We talk about non-invasive ways to diagnose endo, the challenges doctors and patients face in Canada, and much more. This podcast has inspired me to have more ways to diagnose endo sooner and without surgery.

Join me today as I chat with Jill; we talk about her treatment with Clear Passage and how it helped her on her fertility journey. Jill did not have any pain with her cycles- she did have heavy bleeding, and her Mother had endo, but because she did not present with the pain, she did not think she could have endo. Jill started to have cysts and pain when she started fertility treatments which led her to three surgeries and a stage 4 endo diagnosis. She wanted to find alternative methods to help her, and she went to Clear Passage- Larry joins us to tell us more about the method they use to break up adhesions and scar tissue.

TW: we do chat about pregnancy loss in this episode

Thanks to Jill for sharing her story.
