Module 1

The Role of Inflammation and Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

This is at the core of managing endometriosis and at the core of reducing your pain, brain fog and fatigue. Endo is an inflammatory disease and so one of the key ways to tame it is through lowering chronic inflammation.

This module teaches you what inflammation is, when it’s a problem and how it impacts endo (big time, by the way). You’ll identify signs of inflammation in your own body and which factors may be contributing to your overall inflammation load.

It’s a confusing world out there when it comes to knowing what to eat for endometriosis and so this is where we set out the foundations of good nutrition and anti-inflammatory eating. You’ll learn the key anti-inflammatory foods groups and how to incorporate them into your own tailored nutrition plan. We’ll also dive into the key inflammatory drivers when it comes to food, so you can begin making sustainable and positive changes.

In short, this module is all about creating your own endo diet. One that suits your needs, endometriosis health goals and lifestyle but is backed by science and evidence.

Module 3

Supplements for Endo

Whilst it’s essential to address root causes and not rely on supplements for symptom suppression in the long-term, sometimes we just need some extra help getting us out of the ‘endo hole’, so we actually have the ability to start making the longer term changes.

This module takes you through evidence-backed supplements that have been shown to target endometriosis from shrinking lesions and endometriomas to slowing down growth rate. We will also look at supplements which help to reduce inflammation and support healthy hormones.

You’ll learn which supplements are right for you, the safe but effective dosage limits, how and when to take and some of the best brands so you can create your own personalised supplement regime.

Because supplements can take 3-6 months to begin making a difference, it can be helpful to start a supplement protocol alongside your nutritional and lifestyle changes earlier in your journey.

Module 5

Circadian Rhythm, Sleep and HPA axis Recovery

If you struggle with fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia or brain fog – this is the module for you! This module will be especially helpful if you’re having a hard time making changes in other areas because you’re so tired or overwhelmed. These strategies are going to rebuild your physical and emotional resilience so you have the strength to take on endo.

Contrary to what many of us are told, brain fog and fatigue aren’t just part and parcel of having endo. In this module, we explore the root causes of fatigue and brain fog and then take a deeper dive into some of the absolute foundations of healing.

You’ll get to understand your internal body clock and how it can become imbalanced, as well as how sleep affects your hormones, inflammation and pain levels, not to mention brain fog and fatigue. You’ll learn easy to implement strategies for sleep hygiene and a healthy circadian rhythm.

Next up, we’ll look at a big topic fpr our community: HPA axis dysfunction. You’ll learn all about the HPA axis and its role and how imbalances can lead to low thyroid, low progesterone and chronic fatigue to name a few of the issues that arise from this common problem.

Finally, you’ll explore and map out the positive lifestyle changes you can make to recover from burn out, gain sustained and consistent energy levels and enhance cognitive function so you can think clearly again!

Module 7

Hormones, Toxic-burden and the Detoxification Pathways

Our environment and detoxification pathways such as the liver and gut play a direct role in our hormonal health, which can then impact endometriosis.

In this module you’ll dive deeper into the most common hormonal imbalances, namely oestrogen dominance and low progesterone. You’ll learn why these hormonal issues arise and how they can affect endometriosis symptoms, development and fertility.

You’ll then come to understand the role of toxins in our environment, and how they’ve been linked with endometriosis and hormonal conditions and the crucial role our detoxification pathways play in getting these nasties out of the body, keeping our hormones balanced and endo under control.

Once your armed with this knowledge, you’ll then be equipped with the key strategies for supporting the detoxification processes, balancing your hormones and lowering your exposure to hormone disrupting toxins, paving the way for better energy, less pain, an easier menstrual cycle and less hormonal symptoms.

Module 9

Hormones and Working with Your Cycle

The module offers you the opportunity to really get to know your cycle and to work with it, rather than against it and to take your hormone balancing strategies to the next level so that you no longer have to battle painful ovulation, low moods, PMS exhaustion or clotty periods. However, you might feel so good from all the other changes, that you don’t really need to go the extra mile with these tips and tricks - so feel free to take or leave this one when the time comes!

The first part of this module will take your through the basics of the menstrual cycle so you can easily identify when something is up with your hormones. Next, we’ll look at ways to track your cycle and get to know exactly what’s happening in your cycle (like whether you’ve actually ovulated or not!). This is also a great tool if you one day want to try for a baby.

Once you’ve got your cycle down, you’ll learn which foods can help to support healthy hormones and which foods can benefit different phases of your cycle. Then, you’ll discover how you can plan your month for hormonal harmony rather than hormonal chaos.

The result? For potentially the first time ever, you’ll be in control and confident about your cycle. You’ll know the signs of a healthy and happy cycle in your body and when things are off balance and perhaps could contribute to increasing endo symptoms.

SIBO Treatment 101

Research has shown that up to 80% of endo patients also have small intestine bacterial overgrowth - the signature symptom is bloating, sound familiar?

This five-lesson bonus module will take you through understanding your test results, the different types of SIBO and the different types of treatment so you can begin to plan out the road map to healing with SIBO. We’ll also cover supportive therapies and how to prevent SIBO relapse in the future.
