Description

In this episode of She's in Sync, Taylor explores the root causes of painful periods and endometriosis, and explains why birth control does not address the underlying causes of period pain. The episode breaks down how inflammation, estrogen dominance, gut health imbalances, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, stress, insulin resistance, and poor detoxification contribute to debilitating menstrual cramps, heavy periods, and endometriosis symptoms—even when labs appear "normal." Listeners will learn why painful periods are common but not normal, how hormonal birth control can mask symptoms while worsening root causes, and what a root-cause, functional approach looks like for reducing period pain and supporting hormone health naturally.

Takeaways:

• Painful periods are common but not normal, and are often driven by inflammation, mineral deficiencies, gut imbalances, estrogen dominance, and chronic stress rather than a simple hormone imbalance.
• Hormonal birth control may temporarily mask period pain and endometriosis symptoms, but it does not address root causes and can worsen inflammation, nutrient depletion, and detox pathways over time.
• Identifying and supporting the body's root drivers—through functional testing, targeted nutrition, mineral support, and gut and detox health—can significantly reduce period pain and improve quality of life
