In this episode we discuss
It took her Morganne 15 years to get diagnosed with Endometriosis. She spent years trying to find answers and treatments for her symptoms. Even though she was a practicing nurse and someone who understood the medical system, she still experienced many challenges in getting her diagnosis and the proper treatments.
1 in 10 women had endometriosis, a full-body inflammatory disease, not just a period disease. Although it is almost as common as diabetes, the medical field doesn’t have many people who specialize in endometriosis. As a result, it takes an average of 7-9 years for someone to get their diagnosis.
90% of women first present to their doctors with digestive and gut health complaints - not period pain. The number 1 symptom is bloating. The symptoms are wide and varied, which can make the whole process that much more challenging.
While endometriosis can present wide and varied physical symptoms, it can also take a large toll on mental health. In this episode, we discuss how important your support systems are in this journey and which support systems to seek out.
If you or someone you love suspects that they have Endometriosis, Morganne recommends seeking out the following support systems and modalities
Remember that you are not alone in this journey—embrace the healing power of nature, community, and self-love, and let your inner light shine brightly through every challenge. 🌸✨
