And if you’re also on your TTC journey, this can be a real punch in the guts ... Tell me your Endobelly story. Have you ever measured how much your bloat can grow? What lifestyle changes have worked for you?

04.01.2022 "I'm not sick and tired of being sick and tired ..." says no-one ever!! It's a fact that women with endometriosis have a higher risk of iron deficiency due to heavy menstrual bleeding and immune dysfunction. Symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, headaches, poor concentration, cracks at the corner of the mouth, dry mouth and tongue, restless legs... ... ? 1.Get your iron levels checked. 2.Ensure you regularly eat iron-rich foods. Haeme iron from animal sources is most easily absorbed; and non-haeme iron from plant sources is difficult to absorb. Pair your non-haeme plants with vitamin C to enhance absorption and make sure to cook legumes and leafy greens to remove iron blockers. Stay tuned for more on iron blockers this week. PS: for the omnivores (meat-eaters) out there, you may have read online that you need to completely avoid red meat to manage your Endo... this is not true! Beware of generalised Endo diet information online and see an Endo dietitian for a personalised Endo diet and support to optimise your iron intake. Send me a DM if you'd like to know more. See more

03.01.2022 Do you ever feel like you are just on and off the energy merry-go-round?

Then it might be because your hormones are out of whack!... Balancing hormones is all about supporting your body and organs to do their job efficiently. Rather than masking up hormone problems, my approach is all about treating the root cause to find a solution. If you're sick and tired (like I was) of being offered the "pill" as the answer to all of our problems, get in touch with me via DM to find out about how we can work together. See more

01.01.2022 Have you been trying to concieve with Endo for over 6 months? Get started with these tips on the DO'S and DONT'S. 1 AVOID - Predator fish such as flake (shark) from fish and chip shops as they are high in mercury, a heavy metal that can accumulate in the body and may lead to developmental delays in children.... CHOOSE - go for smaller fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, hoki, barramundi or snapper. Oily fish high in omega-3 is the best choice as it improves egg quality. 2 AVOID - refined grains such as pastries as they are high in saturated fat and sugar which increases inflammation and insulin hormone imbalances. CHOOSE - wholegrains with seeds to improve your uterine lining and encourage implantation of the developing embryo. 3 AVOID - alcohol has been shown to impact ovulation, implantation rates and increases the risk of miscarriage. CHOOSE - kombucha is a fermented drink containing only very small amounts of sugar and alcohol. Great for gut health and a much healthier alternative. 4 AVOID - BPA plastics disrupt hormones. This is an emerging area of research, so while we await further studies, I'd recommend avoiding keeping food in plastic. CHOOSE - glass containers as a safer and equally convenient alternative (additional environmental benefits too). 5 AVOID - OTC supplements are generic, poorer quality and may not be right to support your unique health and fertility. CHOOSE - see a specialised Endometriosis and Prenatal Dietitian for a tailored supplementation plan for optimal fertility and pregnancy nutrition. Share this with your #ttcwithendo girlfriends and send me a DM if you'd like to know more. See more
