EP.239/ Endo, Inflammation and the Immune system
This is the first in my IG Live series for Endometriosis Awareness Month. I get a lot of great feedback from listeners when I share my IG Lives on the podcast, so I’m doing it again!
Each week is themed on an area of healing with endo, and this week we’re talking about inflammation and the immune system.
These IG Lives revolve around your questions, so if you want to submit one, follow me on Instagram @theendobellycoach and send me a question when you see my Stories calling for submissions.
This week I’m answering…
How can I make the elimination diet easier when socialising or eating with others?
How much freeze dried nettle is effective for MCAS?
How much magnesium is helpful for endo and which type?
How much omega 3 fatty acids should we use for endo?
What are macrophages and what role do they play in endo?
What role do prostaglandins play on endometriosis pain and development?
