Hormonally Yours with The Hormone Dietitian17 Touko 2022

Endometriosis Nutrition

Like most women's health issues, endometriosis is complicated! It can take years to receive a proper diagnosis, we still don't have a good understanding of the underlying causes and triggers, and conventional medicine treatment options are surgery or heavy duty medications. Fortunately nutrition and lifestyle can make a real difference in symptom intensity, but what diet is best for endometriosis? Today we're talking to fertility and endometriosis nutrition expert, Stefanie Valakas, APD, about endometriosis nutrition.

Stef is a fertility dietitian & nutritionist and founder of The Dietologist. She and her virtual practice team are dedicated to excellence in nutrition for reproductive health concerns, fertility & pregnancy. Her passion for nutrition in this space has truly grown from her experience helping her clients online from around the world and also through her own personal experiences of navigating a diagnosis of endometriosis.

This Week We Talk About:

How Stefanie got interested in preconception nutrition by starting our working in pediatrics
How specializing in fertility nutrition led to Stefanie's own diagnosis with endometriosis
Why overlapping GI conditions and vague symptoms make getting diagnosed with endometriosis difficult
Why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to endometriosis nutrition
Easy tips for incorporating an anti-inflammatory endometriosis diet and lifestyle plan
What foods you DON'T need to avoid and what you might want to consider avoiding
Lifestyle factors that can impact endometriosis
