Endometriosis isn’t just a painful period. Infact, it’s not even just about the physical symptoms. It takes a mental, emotional and social toll that is rarely spoken about, or even acknowledged.
In this episode of Beyond the Bleed, we chat to Naturopath & Nutritionist Alex Sheaffe (she/her) - who has learnt the hard way of how to manage heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids and navigating a long journey to an Endometriosis diagnosis. Together we explore the hidden challenges of navigating life with Endo, the emotional labour it takes to manage your body and your life, and practical ways to reclaim control, resilience and self-compassion.
As two Naturopaths both living with Endometriosis, we get the mental load that living with Endo (suspected or diagnosed…or any other chronic health condition really) brings.
If you’re currently feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or exhausted by your pelvic pain/Endo, we hope the episode helps you feel less alone in your journey - and reminds you that hope and help is out there for you!
