Come join myself (and my guests!) as we dive into anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut health, hormones, pain science, mental…

A while back I did an episode on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Dysautonomia and its connection to endometriosis. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I’ve linked it in the show notes. Today I want to do a short episode on how POTS may be connected to your endo belly and IBS symptoms.

So today marks the 400th This EndoLife episode! But it occurred to me that my first full episode on SIBO was episode 90! So for some of you, you may wonder why it’s such a big deal in my mind for people with endo. So I wanted to share some of the ways that SIBO can affect our endo symptoms, outside of the usual endo belly issues. References (1) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39959963/ 2) Relation…
Today I want to talk briefly about the possible connection between endo, SIBO, IBS and UTIs. Now this could be a deep dive episode but I am giving you some of the top lines and the most recent research, and I’ve put a few links to more detailed episodes in the show notes. References 1) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39990556/ 2) Relation of endometriosis and neuromuscular disease of the…
Today’s episode is a brief introduction to the mystery of the endo belly in the luteal phase, and some pointers to get you started.

If you want to learn more about the root causes of endo belly and IBS in the endo demographic, and you’re keen to understand the SIBO, MCAS, POTS and hEDS connection too, I am running a free workshop on Thursday July 23rd, 6pm British Summer time, live on Zoom. If you can’t attend it live, you’ll be able to watch the replay. You’ll learn what the emerging evidence is showing us about endometriosis…
A couple of months back I did an episode on mast cells, MCAS and endometriosis - so, if you haven’t listened to that episode, it’s a short one, and I would listen to it to get you up to speed on what mast cells are and their function, what MCAS is and what the connection is to endo. Today, we are talking about how MCAS, or even just mast cells, could be contributing to your endo belly, IBS and/or…
As I am still recovering from covid, today’s episode is a short bite sized episode looking at what the recent research is telling us about the endo belly and the gut microbiome of people with endo.

Antibiotics, understandably, have a bad reputation because of how much they’ve been overused in the past few decades, and the impact that has had on our gut microbiomes and overall health, not to mention, resistance development. So, when it comes to antibiotics for SIBO, most of my clients are initially hesitant to consider them, and will typically opt for antimicrobial herbs instead. However,…
Today I want to talk about lipopolysaccharides and their role in endo growth and pain.

Today I want to talk very briefly on endo belly and IBS symptoms, and the three SIBO type gases and the specific symptoms they can cause, so that you can look for clues as to whether SIBO is behind your gut issues.
