110. From Patient to Advocate: Nicole’s Mission to Make Endo Surgery Accessible

Nicole joins us from New Jersey to share her powerful, decade-long journey with endometriosis—a story marked by misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and unrelenting pain. Labeled with everything from IBS to anxiety, Nicole saw countless doctors across multiple specialties, yet none could give her the answers she desperately needed. It wasn’t until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.

Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn’t properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won’t have to suffer the way she did.
