Send us a text

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast! In this episode, I had such an insightful conversation with women's health nutritionist Alex Adele King. We covered so much about endometriosis – what is, symptoms, real-life stories, misconceptions, treatment options, and holistic solutions.

Bottom line: You have options.

We discussed what dietary strategies can help with endo pain and symptoms and shared some practical tips to help you see results. Then, we wrapped up the conversation with an honest and vulnerable talk about femininity, intuition, menstrual cycles, and periods.
