[REPLAY] Using food as medicine for endometriosis and fertility

In honour of Endometriosis Awareness Month (March) today's episode is a replay from Episode 6, where I talk about nutrition.

This is a huge topic, but I wanted to introduce the general nutrition principles related to 1) improving your Endometriosis symptoms and 2) optimising your body so you are ready to get pregnant and then sustain a healthy pregnancy. There are a lot of similarities between these two objectives, but also there can be some conflicting ways of approaching nutrition, meaning that many women with Endometriosis can follow the 'Endo-diet' to reduce inflammation but end up under-nourished or further under-nourished, which will not help you in getting pregnant.

So, here are some of the things I talk about are:

• What is a 'diet' and what is the 'endo-diet'?
• What foods could actually be an issue and why?
• Six key principles I recommend to clients to follow

PLUS, three things I always do when working with my Endo Fertility coaching clients
