Beyond Endo: What You Deserve to Know About Your Body with Dr Fiona Connell

from The Cyclist · host Jess Quinn and Katherine Douglas

In this open, honest, and insightful episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Fiona Connell for an empowering conversation that pulls back the curtain on women's health - from navigating endometriosis and medical gaslighting, to understanding the menstrual cycle and advocating for the care you deserve.Dr. Fiona shares her expertise on what a healthy menstrual cycle actually looks like - breaking down the hormonal shifts, symptoms, and signs that are often misunderstood or overlooked. She offers a clear, compassionate guide to what’s "normal," what’s not, and why so many women are left in the dark about their own bodies.We dive deep into the reality of living with endometriosis and why a multidisciplinary approach - bringing together GPs, specialists, physiotherapists, dietitians and more - is so crucial for truly effective care. Fiona also speaks candidly about the widespread issue of medical gaslighting, and why self-advocacy in the healthcare system has become such an essential (but exhausting) part of so many women's journeys.From decoding your cycle to reclaiming your voice in medical spaces, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, confused, or let down by the system.This is an eye-opening, validating, and empowering conversation about knowing your body, standing your ground, and rewriting the narrative around women's health.Whether you're living with endo, learning about your cycle, or fighting for better answers - this one’s for you.Follow & Connect:✨ Instagram: @wearethecyclist✨ Website: www.wearethecyclist.comWe’re so glad you’re here — hit play, subscribe, and let’s learn to cycle better together.
