On today’s episode, Amanda and Veronica are joined by holistic functional medicine specialist, Lj Johnson to talk everything endometriosis, PCOS and uterine fibroids. After sharing her own endometriosis story, and how it brought her to a second career focused in holistic women’s health, Lj breaks down everything you need to know about the endo basics, and then some. Veronica and Amanda ask Lj to differentiate endo from PCOS, and fibroids from them both. They talk about lifestyle additions Lj made to help with her endometriosis, and some foundational ones others suffering from endo may want to try too. They talk about why endometriosis is not a period problem, and how shifting our understanding of endometriosis, and women’s health issues in general, is so important to better understand the disease, and how to mitigate the symptoms. Amanda and Veronica play a Period Would You Rather.
