116. Supporting Endometriosis Through Diet & Lifestyle with Cindy Dabrowska

We’ve talked a lot about pregnancy and fertility on this podcast before, but there’s a whole segment out there that doesn’t get discussed as much: The child-free-by-choice women. Emma Criswell knew from a very young age that she did not want to have children. She’s a marketing executive out of Columbus, Ohio, but she spent her 20’s in New York City advocating for agency over her body and making her own decisions. After nine doctors and 14 years, she was finally able to get the elective sterilization surgery. This is a serious decision but one that is within a woman’s right to make, and often women are not given the agency over their bodies to make these decisions without doctors pushing back. Emma’s story is sure to resonate with those of you that feel unheard and, regardless of your stance, you’re sure to get some important takeaways.We Chat About:Making the decision to not have kidsThe right to have agency over your bodyFinding a doctor who will give you what you wantThe insensitivity of expecting women to have kidsFighting for your bodily autonomyHormone results after elective sterilizationConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Jessica Ash is a functional nutritionist who coaches and educates women on all things hormones, primarily working with women who’ve struggled with PCOS and thyroid issues, teaching them how to nourish their bodies and master their metabolism. We have these blanket statements of what we should do or what we should cut out of our diet, and it doesn’t always work. Why is it that when someone is doing all the “right things,” they can still not feel their best? Because there’s a new way to look at our body, and that’s from the angle of serving and supporting our metabolism. Jessica explains why healing the metabolism is so important in an easy to digest way.We Chat About:How Jessica ditched the standard hormone adviceEating for your metabolismTesting out the gluten free dietTaking a HTMA testFiber: take it or leave it?The carbs you’re encouraged to takeFood combining or eating a balanced mealDealing with PCOSIntermittent fastingHow you should feel during your luteal phaseResources:jessicaashwellness.comInstagram: @jessicaashwellnessFully NourishedConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Endometriosis is so often misunderstood, and even worse, often misdiagnosed. Not many women know what the signs or symptoms are, and there aren’t many doctors who specialize in this kind of illness. That’s why it’s so important for us to share these within the world of women’s health—so women feel empowered to explore what is happening in their bodies! Chelsea Blackburn is a life and mindset coach for people with endometriosis. She can help you to learn how to love yourself, overcome mindset blocks, and create a life you love despite all of the pain. We talk about how we can change our mindset around our body and how we can learn to love ourselves through the challenges, and it is incredibly inspiring!We Chat About:Chelsea’s endo storyThe side effects of endo medicationStaying away from Facebook groupsChelsea’s endometriosis toolkitManaging your stressResources:chelseabri.comInstagram: @chelseaaabriListen: The Endo Babe PodcastConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Liesl Huenemann is a former client turned current friend, cat mom, and teacher. She and her husband went through three years of infertility treatments, including working with three different specialists. Following years of medicated cycles, additional diagnoses, and two miscarriages, they both decided to step away from treatment. Now, Liesl is empowering herself to take back her body, and together they are embarking on their next new journey: Adoption. When you hear her story, you’ll understand how much she’s been through, and I think it’s so important to normalize sharing these kinds of stories so that the path isn’t so difficult and isolating for the next generation.We Chat About:Assuming getting pregnant would be so easyTalking about IVFBeing diagnosed with PCOSDealing with multiple miscarriagesTalking about experiences with infertility publiclyFinding a support groupDeciding to take a break from pregnancy attemptsMaking the decision to adoptResources:For infertility resources, visit resolve.orgConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.
