EF#13: Histamine Intolerance, Pelvic Floor Therapy and Surgery with Ashley Looft

Today's episode is with the lovely Ashley Looft from the US, who has gone to some incredible lengths to work out why she had horrendous painful periods, poor health and numerous miscarriages. She explains how she found out she has PCOS and Endometriosis and then what she did to become pain-free.

I love to hear true healing success stories that inspire you that it is possible to live pain-free. There is a lot in the media at the moment about women taking a long time to get diagnoses, how they struggle with their day to day life, but little in the way healing stories. It is possible for women to use an integrative approach of medical and natural approaches to allow their bodies to heal and come to live pain-free. Ashley shares her experience with overcoming histamine intolerance and using physical therapy and surgeries to live a pain-free.

Ashley Looft is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps women experiencing fertility and cycle struggles dig deep to find the root of their struggles and uses nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle to support their bodies in healing so that they can live their most healthy, happy, and fertile life. She came to this work through her own struggles with PCOS, Endometriosis, and 4 pregnancy losses. Ashley was tired of going to the doctor and being told that her only options were the pill or to get pregnant so she decided to take matters into her own hands and apprenticed with Nicole Jardim to become a Women's Health Coach and then continued on to go to school for Nutritional Therapy. When Ashley is not working to help others she loves to spend time with her husband and two dogs travelling, reading, cooking, running, and hiking in the beautiful Arizona desert.
