EF#19: Endometriosis, Food-Grown Supplements and the Immune System with Lorna Driver-Davies

An amazing episode with Lorna Driver-Davies, Head of Nutrition from Wild Nutrition. This is the last interview of the season and boy is it good! We covered so much from nutrition, supplements and then a deep dive into the immune system for women with Endometriosis, and how this affects fertility.

I came across Wild Nutrition about 3 years ago for my personal use and absolutely love so many of their products. I then met Lorna through my clinical work as I recommend many of Wild Nutrition products, in particular their Food-Grown Endo-Complex and Food-Grown Fertility. I found Lorna to be an amazing wealth of information on how to use their supplements to get their best effect and I just knew I had to have her on the podcast to pass on some of her nuggets!

We talked about everything from:

• Lorna's career as a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath and working at Wild Nutrition
• Henrietta Norton's supplement formulation using function nutrition and co-factoring
• Nutrient doses in Wild Nutrition's Food-Grown supplements compared to synthetic supplements
• Difference between methylated and non-methylated forms of nutrients
• Iron supplementation and ferritin storage levels
• How Food-Grown supplements are made
• Why the Food-Grown Endo-Complex supplement is so amazing for women with Endometriosis
• Local and global estrogen production and estrogen detoxification
• The benefits of the Food-Grown Fertility supplement over synthetic fertility versions
• Key minerals and vitamins important for fertility
• Deep dive into Endometriosis and the immune system and its effect on fertility
• Oral microbiome and link to Endometriosis
• Estrogen, inflammation and cytokines
• Symptoms of immune dysfunction
• Post-surgery recovery and the importance of nutrient loading before conception
• How food and supplementation can improve immune function
• Thyroid health, endometriosis and fertility
