In Episode 46 of The Intuitive Health Podcast, Dr. Anthony Rafferty welcomes Cathy McCarthy, a former nurse and intuitive guide, to talk all things endometriosis. Moving beyond the traditional view of endometriosis as solely a gynaecological issue, they explore it as a systemic, whole-body condition that can manifest with diverse symptoms ranging from "endo belly" and gut dysregulation to thoracic pain. Cathy shares her personal story of navigating the medical system, explaining how trusting her intuition allowed her to bypass long waiting lists and identify the root cause of her pain, ultimately leading her to seek specialised surgery abroad in Greece.
Dr. Anthony breaks down the integrated clinical approach used in Cathy's diagnosis, detailing the importance of comprehensive day-three blood panels, specialised ultrasound, and MRI imaging to detect lesions often missed by standard checks. The conversation also delves deep into the spiritual and energetic aspects of the disease, discussing ancestral healing, the concept of "death and rebirth" cycles, and the use of Human Design to make empowered decisions. Tune in to learn how to advocate for your own health and discover why listening to the "sacral yes" of your body is just as vital as the medical science.
Dr. Anthony Rafferty is a doctor, Reiki healer, shaman, and intuitive healer based in Dublin, Ireland. Throughout this podcast series, Dr. Anthony bridges the gap between science and holistic healing by combining evidence-based Western medicine with nutrition advice, lifestyle guidance, and traditional energy practices.
