I\\u2019m SO happy you\\u2019re here for today\\u2019s conversation because it is EXTREMELY important to\\xa0 know what\\u2019s normal & what isn\\u2019t. Our culture has made CRAMPS & period PAIN something that women should just \\u201cDEAL WITH\\u201d & \\u201cTOUGHEN UP\\u201d about because \\u201cthat\\u2019s just what happens when you get your period.\\u201d

\\u2063

This is SO MESSED UP on SO MANY levels.\\u2063

\\u2063

Not only does it MINIMIZE the STRUGGLE & PAIN that some women go through on a MONTHLY basis, but it NORMALIZES something that ISN\\u2019T NORMAL.\\u2063

\\u2063

This makes women IGNORE an underlying problem that could be serious (such as ENDOMETRIOSIS).\\u2063

\\u2063

Mild/moderate cramping can be \\u201cnormal.\\u201d If they are MINOR cramps you can tolerate & don\\u2019t need to take any medication/pain relief for.\\u2063

\\u2063

BUT if you\\u2019re having INTENSE CRAMPS where you\\u2019re reaching for Midol or even more intense medications, you can\\u2019t get out of bed, or you\\u2019re getting nauseous from the pain, that is NOT NORMAL.

\\u2063

Pain like that could be a SYMPTOM of ENDOMETRIOSIS which is an INFLAMMATORY disease that shouldn\\u2019t be taken lightly.\\u2063

\\u2063

THANKFULLY there are NATURAL ways to heal your Endometriosis & get rid of the pain.\\U0001f64f\\U0001f3fc\\u2063

\\u2063

One of my clients with endometriosis went from a 10 (on a scale of 1-10 of pain)to a 2! WITHOUT MEDICATION

\\u2063

This shift happened from implementing an ANTI INFLAMMATORY diet & a supplement protocol for her specific needs.\\u2063

\\u2063

\\u2063

So THERE IS HOPE & there are NATURAL ways to accomplish this.\\u2063

\\xa0

ENDOMETRIOSIS is an INFLAMMATORY disease so healing it needs to be done by REDUCING INFLAMMATION.

\\xa0

3 things to AVOID to reduce INFLAMMATION:

\\xa0

  1. Alcohol: alcohol increases estrogen levels & disrupts blood sugar (check out this episode for more info on alcohol & hormones!)
  2. Dairy: dairy inflames our gut which prohibits our gut from being able to eliminate our excess hormones. There are also hormones in dairy that latch onto our hormone receptors leaving our own production of hormones floating around in the body
  3. Gluten is also super inflammatory to the gut (check out this episode on more information about how the gut connects to hormones)

\\xa0

Gluten alternatives: quinoa, oats, brown rice, millet, amaranth.

Dairy free cheese brands: Kite hill, miyokos, good planet.
