11: Cutting Edge Endometriosis Care and Research with Dr. Sallie Sarrel

“Good surgery matters, but a lot of other things matter too.” - Dr. Sallie SarrelAt the Integrative Women’s Health Institute, we take a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis care. From balancing the gut and uterine microbiomes to utilizing tools like hormone therapy and GLP-1 agonists, there are many more options available today for women with endometriosis.A big part of this shift resulted from the work of people like today’s guest, my friend and colleague Dr. Sallie Sarrel. After taking 23 years to get her endo diagnosis, Sallie has been a strong voice in advocating for people with endometriosis for her entire career. In addition, for the past seven-plus years, she has partnered with Dr. Andrea Vidali to produce The Endometriosis Summit, which is now expanding globally and highlights the integrative and multidisciplinary conversation we need around endometriosis care.In this conversation, Sallie and I discuss the need for a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment, her passion for advocacy, the role of physical therapy, nutrition, and mental health in managing endometriosis, misconceptions about menopause and endometriosis, the impact of the Endometriosis Summit, and more.
