They also explore the powerful connection between the gut and endo, sharing the latest research on intestinal permeability, immune dysfunction, and the microbiome's role in inflammation. Plus, Riannon breaks down the practical testing options and natural strategies that can help manage endometriosis symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and support overall wellbeing. From turmeric and vitamin D to gut testing and dietary shifts, this episode is packed with real talk and real solutions.
