Nutrition for Endo 101

Today I have an exciting episode for you! I’m still full of covid or flu, on top of preparing for my course Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 which begins on Monday, and packing to take our rescue kitten back to the UK - today! So, there’s a lot going on - no wonder I got sick! So, instead of doing a replay episode, I thought I’d give you a peak into what I’m woking on in my course, and so today, I am sharing one of my lessons which is all about the science of how pain works and how it can be influenced by the vagus nerve and our nervous system (which are pretty much one and the same, as you’ll come to learn!). This is a great episode to provide you with overall pain education and here’s an interesting fact - pain education actually helps to treat and reduce pain! So that’s a huge benefit of this episode, and the bonus is, if you’re wondering about the course and whether it’s for you, this gives you a little taster as to what’s in store (and remember - there’s a 14 day return policy too). If you’re curious about the course and want to learn more, doors close tomorrow Sunday, April 15th, 11:55pm BST and late bird pricing has just kicked in, dropping the course back down to Super Early Bird pricing of £100 upfront or with a payment plan of £35 per month for three months. You can learn more at www.theendobellycoach.com/live-thrive-with-endo or just sign up here.

So today, as you’ll be able to hear in this intro, I am pretty damn sick, so I cannot record a full episode for you. Instead, I am sharing my recent free masterclass, Creating a Roadmap for Endo Healing. For this masterclass, you’re going to need to get comfy and grab a note book and a pen because we’re literally going to be designing your endo management plan. This masterclass is much better when you’re joining live as you get the interactive component and the slides, etc. but you can still work your way through it just from listening - so, let’s get started! Need more help or want to learn how to work with me? My new and improved digital course Live and Thrive with Endo 2.0 is open for enrolment! I’ve spent the last two years refining and honing it, to bring you an updated version with new info and strategies - and a specific focus on preventing overwhelm!  This course offers you a customisable roadmap and it identifies the most important changes to begin with first, fast tracking you out of overwhelm and into symptom relief. Early Bird Pricing is now available (with payment plan options) until Sunday 7th April, 11:59pm BST. Learn more or sign up here.

We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can. If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly’s full story on our Go Fund Me page.

As part of Endometriosis Awareness Month I’m answering your questions over on IG live and I get a really good response when I share these on the podcast last as well! So, that’s what this week’s episode is. Just a heads up, I’m not sure why but the IG Live recording has a weird buzzing, ticking sound, which we’ve tried to remove, but you may still hear it a little. So, this week I’m answering: “How to manage fatigue and brain fog?” Need more help or want to learn how to work with me?

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 like some help working it out all out, I wanted to let you know I have two one on one coaching spaces becoming available in the next several weeks. I work with endo clients one on one for at least six months to address root causes and reduce pain, gut health problems, chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalances to name a few. If you’re interested in learning more, there’s a link to my coaching page and application for in the show notes. And remember, if you’re not ready for personalised help or you don’t have the budget for it, I’m still running my Endo Awareness Month Flare Up Prevention Mini Email Course.

(Trigger warning: This episode discusses infertility) Okay so this week we’re moving onto hormones and how to test for them. Today, we’re beginning with one that I see a lot of my clients having problems with and that’s low progesterone. I did a progesterone 101 a year or two ago which covered everything from what progesterone is, to what it does in the body and signs of it being too low or too high, but let’s do a recap of some classic low progesterone symptoms.
