Episode 97: Endometriosis Explained: Causes, Treatment, and Hope with Dr. Teresa Hilgers

In this episode of The NFP Podcast, hosts Amy and Emily sit down with Dr. Teresa Hilgers of the Saint Paul VI Institute for a deep dive into endometriosis—one of the most misunderstood and often misdiagnosed conditions affecting women today. Dr. Hilgers brings clarity, compassion, and scientific expertise as she unpacks the root causes of endometriosis, common symptoms, and why so many women struggle to receive accurate diagnoses. She also explores the innovative approaches behind NaProTechnology and the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, explaining how these methods work with a woman’s natural cycle to both identify and treat underlying reproductive health issues. Whether you’ve been personally affected by endometriosis, know someone who has, or simply want to better understand women’s health through a restorative and faith-informed lens, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical guidance grounded in both science and respect for the dignity of the female body.
