The Christmas season is typically, a time of excess for those who celebrate – and even for those who don’t, New Year’s is right around the corner.

5M ago12:53

12:53

Today I want to talk about alcohol and the holiday season.

Listener Question: Can I Eat Porridge When Eating for Endo? 26:28

7M ago26:28

26:28

So, as you know, I (and many other practitioners) use blood sugar regulation and anti-inflammatory nutrition to help manage endo. Today’s episode isn’t about that, but to give you context, we do this because blood sugar imbalances drive up inflammation and therefore pain, they can trigger hormonal imbalances and they can worsen fatigue. In terms of…

19:27

Something I hear a lot of people struggling with is the overwhelming amount of supplement options out there.
