From the best surgery to natural therapies, This EndoLife Podcast empowers you to live and thrive with endometriosis and its co-conditions through a holistic, functional medicine approach.

Come join myself (and my guests!) as we dive into anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut health, hormones, pain science, ment ...

A fun, engaging, super unpretentious podcast to help make wine more approachable. It's just fermented juice! Each episode takes a wine topic and breaks it down to be much more manageable, consumable, and approachable. Let's put the days of the overly pretentious snobbery so often associated with wine behind us. Some episodes will have a featured interview where the guest and I talk about wine, what it means in their personal and/or professional life and show the audience that we are all just ...

Recently I’ve talked a lot about the gut microbiome and endo, but today, I want to do a very short episode on the bladder microbiome, but specifically, a supplement or plant extract that could help us. For those of you who deal with bladder pain or recurrent UTIs, I’m hoping this episode is helpful. Interstitial cystitis has been dubbed as the ‘evi…

Sourdough bread has been popular in the mainstream for a good number of years now, but I feel like there’s a big focus on it and its benefits in the wellness industry at present. And I think for people with endo, when new health trends come round, it can be confusing, because foods we thought might bother us with endo, are being promoted to the mas…

If you want to learn more about SCFAs, I’ve linked to some episodes in the show notes. But now let’s look at probiotic foods and how they can raise SCFA. Probiotic foods are cultured and fermented foods which have live beneficial bacteria in them. When we eat these foods, we ingest this bacteria, which then become part of our gut microbiome and imp…

Today I want to talk about another short chain fatty acid booster, which also supports long term gut healing and symptom relief, and that’s partially hydrolysed guar gum. PHGG is a soluble fibre derived from the guar bean plant, it is not exactly the same as the food ingredient guar gum. PHGG is broken down by enzymes from guar gum, and dissolves i…

Last week we talked about certain fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils that can boost the short chain fatty acids called propionate and acetate. Alongside butyrate, which you can increase with resistant starch rich foods such as cold oats, green bananas and cooked and cooled potatoes and rice, these guys help to lower inflammation, heal gut issues…

Last week we talked about the most beneficial short chain fatty acid for endo - butyrate. Short chain fatty acids are types of healthy fats that are produced by good gut bacteria when we eat fibre. They eat the fibre, and the process of this, known as fermentation, produces short chain fatty acids. To get the low down on endo and short chain fatty …

Last week I talked about short chain fatty acids and their benefits for endo, and why people with endo need to focus on these to help manage the disease. Today, I want to talk about how to boost one of these types of short chain fatty acids, called butyrate. Read more. Show notes SCFAs/Butyrate https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-and-infe…

Short chain fatty acids are types of gut friendly fats that are produced when good bacteria in our large intestine eats fibre. So, when healthy bacteria eat let’s say, beans, it will ferment our food, and create gas. Along with that gas, it creates short chain fatty acids. Short chain fatty acids are one of the key reasons gut health is so importan…

Chronic fatigue is one of the biggest complaints of clients and students when they come to see me. But endo isn’t solely responsible for fatigue, there are usually a number of culprits, that can be associated with endo or are worsened by endo. If you’d like to learn more about the causes of fatigue in the endo community, I’ve linked to a podcast ep…

Today I want to continue on with the theme of foods for surgery recovery. And today, we’re talking about protein. In my training on endometriosis surgery recovery, the importance of protein intake, and good quality protein intake, was really emphasised - and with good reason. Protein is essential for tissue repair, and whilst we need lots of nutrie…

I’ve had a couple of clients work with me recently ahead of their very first surgeries. We’ve been doing a lot of prep to ensure that they heal well, have an easy recovery, and to minimise the chances of recurrence or severe recurrence, as much as we possibly can (though of course, there is no guarantee with endo). As a result, I wanted to do an ep…

To follow on with our episode on flax seeds and chia seeds for constipation, I wanted to add another one into the mix. For those of you who haven’t listen to that previous episode, I’ve linked it in the show notes. Additionally, if you’re wondering why constipation is a problem for many in our community, there can be numerous reasons, ranging from …

Many people with endometriosis, including about 60% of my clients, suffer with constipation. Is this because of endometriosis directly? Not exactly. There are several reasons someone with endo can have constipation, whilst this episode isn’t about that, here’s a quick low down on some of the key causes: Endo – Of course, whilst this isn’t the case …

Blood sugar is the measurement of glucose in the blood stream at any one time. Glucose comes from complex carbs, like vegetables, beans and whole grains, and simple carbs, like flour, pasta and honey. Complex carbs break down slower in the gut, resulting in a slow but steady drip of glucose to our blood stream, whereas simple sugars break down very…

Maybe your periods are better, your chronic pelvis pain is better, things are improving. But after a few months, the endo belly comes back. Or maybe you get it for the first time ever. You’re bloated all the time or maybe you bloat badly after meals, or maybe it gets worse over the day? Perhaps it’s also accompanied by IBS issues like constipation,…

Today on the show I am talking about one of the possible root causes of your endo belly – coeliac disease. Now, before you turn this podcast off because you think you don’t react to gluten, I am literally begging you to listen.

This week we’re staying on our theme of hormone testing and we’re looking at oestrogen. There are a number of signs to look out for with oestrogen dominance or excess, and they pretty much all fall under the PMS umbrella, but here are a few tale-tell signs that I often see with clients. If you’ve noticed symptoms of hormonal imbalances but you’d li…

Some would question the wisdom, or the right, of someone like me--White, Mennonite, Christian--writing about the historic practices of torture among Indigenous cultures on Turtle Island.

The esteemed Eric Asimov wrote a great article about the possibility that we are in the twilight of the American Sommelier.

A week or two ago and I did an episode about low vitamin D levels and the symptoms that can disguise themselves as endo symptoms or endo related issues, and today, I want to talk about low B12 and how it can affect our population.

Today’s episode is a replay as I have been in and out of hospital all week undergoing testing for coeliac disease and chronic appendicitis.

Recently, I’ve had a lot of low levels or deficiencies show up with clients. Many of them were experiencing low moods, cyclical pain or heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, heart palpitations, aching muscles, and overall feelings of inflammation. Whilst yes, these can all be due to or linked to endometriosis, we have to be careful about blaming every…

Today’s episode is continuing with the theme of why some of your conditions may be worse in January, and today, we’re focusing on endometriosis. Before we get into it, this is a short episode where I am giving you an overview of some of the ways these things can affect people with endo, but it’s not an exhaustive list. In fact, each of these topic …

I am seeing a bit of a growing trend with my clients and students – and that’s low iron levels. But they’re not alone.

The problem with this, is th…

The Christmas season is typically, a time of excess for those who celebrate – and even for those who don’t, New Year’s is right around the corner. For many people, we increase our intake of sugar, alcohol, processed foods, etc. and that’s okay – this episode isn’t about judgement. I love Christmas, including all the food that comes with it, but for…

A horse-and-buggy Mennonite community has all of its children apprehended by agents of the state because of the use of corporal punishment in the community. What does this story expose about how we think about the legitimate use of force in our modern world? Girard and Illich offer some insight on the odd role of the Gospel in reshaping everything …

Today I want to talk about alcohol and the holiday season. I think most of us listening will be increasing alcohol intake over the new few weeks, and the reality is, alcohol does have an impact on our hormones and inflammation levels, setting the stage for lower progesterone levels, increased oestrogen levels and more inflammation. These can all re…

Today’s episode is a replay for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve been on the road for four days heading to Italy so I’ve not been able to record a new episode this week, and secondly, I’m having a Black Friday Course Bundle Sale, and so if you’re wondering whether these courses could help you, I thought I’d share a success story from one of my course st…
