Episode 109: What is the role of hormones in Endometriosis?

You may have been following me for quite some time, or you may be new to me. But either way, I thought it might be nice for you to get to know me a bit better. In this video I’m sharing with you how I ended up being a nutritionist, and why I decided to specialise in Endometriosis. Have you booked your complimentary Endometriosis SOS Call yet?

Vitamin B9 (or folate, folic acid or folinic acid) is a key vitamin for pregnancy. It is recommended to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in your baby. It is also a key vitamin for the body to make new cells: blood cells and in particular healthy red blood cells, brain cells, skin, hair and nails. In this episode I explain what the different types of vitamin B9 are, what needs to happen in your body for it to be able to use it and why I recommend you stop taking supplements with one form of B9.

Many smokers, and you may have been one of them, switched from smoking to vaping, on the assumption that is less damaging.   If you vape, or you are around people that vape, you need to listen to this episode, especially if you’re trying to fall pregnant.    #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #infertility #miscarriage #improvefertility #earlypregnancyloss #maleinfertility #vaping   

Welcome to year 5 of the Endometriosis Nutritionist podcast! I’ve been publishing podcast episodes for 4 years now, and my little podcast has been listened to more than 130k times by people all over the world! I’m so happy that so many of you find the podcast helpful and I’m very excited about the fifth year.   Let’s kick year 5 off with an episode about fertility and pregnancy. So, why does it take 2 to do the fertility tango?  I’m not an expert on male fertility and I’m not going into what types of fertility issues your male partner (or the person providing the sperm) may have and what to do about it.   But if you have Endometriosis and are experiencing difficulty falling pregnant or are having early pregnancy losses, it is important to consider that it truly takes 2 to do the fertility tango.  #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #infertility #miscarriage #improvefertility #earlypregnancyloss #maleinfertility 

Endometriosis directly affects your fertility and increases the risk of early pregnancy loss. In this episode I explain 6 ways in which it does this, and how nutrition can help you to reduce the risk of early pregnancy loss.    If you’d like to have a chat with me about how we can improve your fertility and reduce the risk of early pregnancy loss, book your complementary Endometriosis SOS Call now: https://theendometriosisnutritionist.online/endometriosis-sos-call    #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #nausea #infertility #miscarriage #improvefertility #earlypregnancyloss

Approximately 40-60% of people with endometriosis report experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menometrorrhagia) as one of their main symptoms. In this episode I share 5 factors that affect your menstrual bleeding and can make it heavy, long and/or irregular.  If you’d like to have a chat with me about how a personalised diet may help you, book your complementary Endometriosis SOS Call now: https://theendometriosisnutritionist.online/endometriosis-sos-call    #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #femalehormones #oestrogen #estrogen #progesterone #menstrualcycle #heavybleeding #longbleeding #irregularbleeding #periods 

Although Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease, not a hormonal disease, it is important to understand how the hormones oestrogen and progesterone affect your disease and symptoms. In this episode, I explain how oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate during your menstrual cycle and contribute to your symptoms.

If you have ever considered going ‘meat-free’ to try and get your Endometriosis symptoms under control, you need to listen to this episode.

When you have gut symptoms like bloating, flatulence or constipation, you may be ‘diagnosed’ with IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The question I’m addressing in this podcast episode is whether those symptoms mean you have IBS and need to go on a low FODMAP diet, or whether they are connected to your Endometriosis.  If you’d like to have a chat with me about your gut symptoms and how a personalised diet may help you, book your complementary Endometriosis SOS Call now: https://theendometriosisnutritionist.online/endometriosis-sos-call  #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #IBS #IBSsymptoms
