EP.124/ Can Stress or Trauma Trigger the Onset of Endometriosis?
Today’s episode is a another special mini-episode from my live Q&A calls with my Live and Thrive with Endo Course coaching group.
LISTEN NOW
The questions they’ve been asking have been amazing and I know will resonate with many of you, so I decided to share some of my answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
In this episode I’m talking about whether stress or trauma can actually trigger the onset of endometriosis.
In this episode I discuss:
The research around trauma and onset of endometriosis symptoms.
The link between endometriosis, autoimmune conditions and childhood trauma.
The effects of stress on inflammation and the immune system.
How stress impacts the way the brain responds to physical injury and how you experience pain.
Lastly, I want to emphasise that this is a direct answer to a direct question from a student who's eating an anti-inflammatory diet and struggling with it. This is not blanket advice for everyone nor am I saying everyone with endo must follow an anti-inflammatory diet, though this is part of the healing strategy that I use. I just wanted to share this in case you're having a similar experience, but please know that everyones journey with healing endo will be different.
