The last time Katie shared a pregnancy update on The Endo Edit, she was announcing the news and opening up about her journey to getting pregnant with endometriosis. Now, somehow, she's already 8 months pregnant—and a LOT has changed.

In this episode, Katie and Ragan sit down for an honest third-trimester catch-up on what pregnancy with endometriosis has actually been like.

Katie shares how she's been feeling physically and emotionally, what happened to her endometriosis symptoms during pregnancy, the symptoms that have surprised her most, and what it's been like watching and trusting her body through an experience she spent years hoping for.

They also chat about preparing for birth, getting ready for baby, the realities of the third trimester, and how Katie's perspective on her body and endometriosis has evolved throughout pregnancy.

If you're pregnant with endometriosis, hoping to become pregnant one day, curious about what pregnancy with endo can look like, or you've simply been following Katie's journey since the beginning, this episode is your 8-month catch-up. 

As always, this is Katie's personal experience—every endometriosis and pregnancy journey is different.

Come catch up with us as we enter the home stretch!

Gut issues and endometriosis seem to go hand in hand—but why?

Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, painful bowel movements, and the infamous “endo belly” are incredibly common complaints among those living with endometriosis. In this episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan take a closer look at the connection between endometriosis and gut health — and what you can do to better support your digestive system.

We're breaking down how endometriosis can affect the gut, why so many people with endo experience GI symptoms, and the complex relationship between inflammation, hormones, the gut microbiome, and digestive health.

Then, we're getting practical. We share some of the nutrition, lifestyle, and everyday habits that may help support a healthier gut—without restrictive diets, fear around food, or the idea that there's one perfect “endo diet.”

PLUS, we're officially launching our brand-new Gut Healing Guide! 

We created this guide to take the conversation beyond the episode and give you a practical resource you can come back to again and again, with information, tools, and actionable ways to start supporting your gut in everyday life.

1. Listen to the episode to understand the why.
2. Grab the Gut Healing Guide for help with the how.

Because supporting your gut may be one important piece of supporting your whole body while living with endometriosis. 💛

Living with chronic illness can test more than your body — it can test your faith.

What happens when you've prayed for healing, prayed for answers, prayed for the pain to stop... and nothing seems to change? How do you hold onto faith when you're angry, exhausted, confused, or wondering why this is happening to you?

In this deeply personal episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan open up about how living with endometriosis has impacted their individual relationships with faith. They share the seasons when their struggles brought them closer to God, the seasons when they felt distant or questioned what they believed, and how years of pain, unanswered questions, and uncertainty have ultimately shaped the way they view faith today.

They talk honestly about the complicated emotions that can coexist with chronic illness — gratitude and grief, hope and frustration, belief and doubt — and why struggling with your faith doesn't necessarily mean you've lost it.

This isn't a conversation about having all the answers or telling you what to believe. It's simply an honest look at two personal faith journeys through chronic illness and the lessons they've learned along the way.

Whether your faith has grown stronger through your health journey, you've struggled with it, you've stepped away from it entirely, or you're still figuring out what you believe, we hope you'll feel welcome in this conversation.

Whether you've heard of pelvic floor therapy before or are completely new to the conversation, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical takeaways.

Because when it comes to women's health, understanding your pelvic floor shouldn't be optional — it should be part of the conversation.

A major shift is happening in women's health: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has just recently been renamed PMOS (PolyMetabolic Ovary Syndrome) to better reflect what research has increasingly shown — that the condition extends far beyond the ovaries and is deeply connected to metabolic health.

But what does this change actually mean? And could it have implications for the future of endometriosis research and treatment?

In this episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan break down:

• Why experts renamed PCOS to PMOS
• The latest research surrounding metabolism, inflammation, and reproductive health
• How metabolic dysfunction may play a larger role in women's health than previously understood
• Emerging research on GLP-1 medications and their impact on both PMOS and endometriosis symptoms
• What these developments could mean for the future of endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and research

Could endometriosis be more than just a reproductive disease? Could metabolism be another important piece of the puzzle? Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating and potentially paradigm-shifting conversations currently happening in women's health.

For years, one of Katie's biggest questions after being diagnosed with endometriosis was: Will I be able to get pregnant?

In this deeply personal episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan sit down to discuss fertility, trying to conceive, and the emotional weight that often comes with navigating endometriosis and family planning.

Katie shares her experience, the fears and uncertainties she carried, what she learned along the way, and the reality of balancing hope with the unknown.

And for the first time, she's sharing some very exciting news: 💛 Katie is pregnant!!!

Whether you're actively trying to conceive, thinking about your future fertility, or simply navigating life with endometriosis, this episode is an honest conversation about a topic that impacts so many women but is rarely discussed openly.

Every fertility journey is unique, and this episode is not meant to predict anyone else's path. Our hope is simply that it leaves you feeling informed, supported, and a little less alone.

In Episode 9 of The Endo Edit, Ragan sits down with Christie Lee, registered dietitian and face behind @endometriosis.dietitian on Instagram, to talk about the complex relationship between nutrition and endometriosis.

Together, they discuss Christie’s background as an endometriosis dietitian, how food can impact inflammation and hormones, and why nutrition for endometriosis is far more nuanced than what social media often makes it seem.

They also dive into common myths surrounding the “endo diet,” the pressure to eat perfectly, and how to approach nutrition in a more realistic, supportive, and sustainable way.

This conversation is informative, validating, and full of practical insight for anyone navigating endometriosis and wondering where nutrition fits into the picture.
