Today, I am thrilled to have Dr. Sarah Wilson join us. Dr. Wilson is a naturopathic doctor, founder of Advanced Women’s Health, a series of clinics across Canada, and she also lives with endometriosis. In this episode, we explore how the immune system impacts endometriosis, shedding light on why it is an immune condition rather than a hormonal one.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-The Connection Between the Immune System and Endometriosis: Discover how the immune system affects endometriosis and shifts our understanding of the condition.

-Signs and Symptoms of Immune System Dysfunction: Learn about the signs of immune dysfunction, how the body responds to hormones, and why most endometriosis symptoms are immune-related.

-Fertility and the Immune System: Understand the role of the immune system in fertility and how it must adapt to support a healthy pregnancy.

-Beyond Common Cold Defense: Explore how the immune system influences not just physical health but also mental well-being.

-Diagnostic Markers: Find out which markers from routine doctor assessments can indicate endometriosis, reducing reliance on surgery for diagnosis.

-Post-Diagnosis Support: Tips on managing endometriosis by healing gut bacteria with herbs and pharmaceuticals, pain management, and dietary changes.

-Gut Symptoms and Endometriosis: Why women with endometriosis have gut symptoms and the connection between the two.

-Gut Bacteria Balance: Learn about the impact of bad gut bacteria and steps to reduce them while healing good bacteria.

You don’t need to understand every detail to start managing endometriosis effectively. This is a complex and evolving field, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. If traditional treatments aren’t working for you, know that new research is constantly emerging, offering more effective ways to approach endometriosis. There is more to your story than endometriosis, and there is hope for you to live a better, more fulfilling life.
