You’re Not a Failure If You Still Need Endometriosis Surgery

Hey you. I know endo fuggin sucks. And I know many of you want to manage things "naturally"..... But you can do literally all the holisticy stuff and still need surgery or meds. And that doesn't make you a failure.

A little gentle reminder to you + me.

Because I’ll be honest, when my endo flare ups started increasing late last year + found out I had a large endometrioma I began to wonder what I did wrong.

My symptoms with endo had been SO well managed. Naturally. I’ve been off all hormones now for over 5 years.

And I am a functional nutritionist + have walked the walk like my clients.

I’ve DONE the functional lab tests.

The GI map stool test. SIBO + H. Pylori Protocols. Candida. Parasites. HTMA test + mineral balancing.

Balanced my blood sugar, ate better, stopped training like a d*ck, supported my nervous system + was able to reverse just about all my food sensitivities.

But I was STILL having this lingering pain.

And I also NEVER had excision surgery when I had endo surgery all those years ago. (It was ablation).

SURGERY TYPE MATTERS. Excision yields less chance of regrowth.

So while I’m a bit nervous, I’m also so stoked for relief.

All the hard work I’ve put in hasn’t been in vain.

It HAS dramatically changed my life and has also changed the life of many of my endo clients or women who suspect they have it, but haven’t yet gotten a diagnosis.

This is why I’ll ALWAYS preach a whole-body approach with endo. One that combines excision surgery, meds if needed + functional nutrition.

But just know, even if you’ve done it all, and you still need surgery, that you are abso fuggin lately NOT a failure. Sh*t happens.

And we’re all just trying to do the best we can 💛
