S2 E1: Endometriosis: How Nutrition, Gut Health, and Supplements Can Support Fertility

🎧 About Today’s Episode:Endometriosis is often labelled as “hormonal” or “inflammatory” — but what does that actually mean for your daily food choices?In this episode, I break down what’s really happening in your body with endometriosis — from chronic inflammation and oxidative stress to how estrogen is processed and cleared. We also explore the strong link between gut health and fertility, including why so many women with endometriosis experience bloating, IBS-like symptoms, and hormonal imbalances.I walk you through how nutrition can support this — not through restriction, but by improving the internal environment your body is functioning in. We talk about how to follow a Mediterranean-style pattern in an Indian diet, what nutrients actually matter (like omega-3s, fibre, and antioxidants), and how simple changes in your meals and cooking methods can reduce inflammation over time.We also clear the confusion around dairy and gluten, and when they actually need to be modified — if at all. And finally, I touch on supplements like omega-3, Vitamin D, magnesium, curcumin, and CoQ10 — and how to use them correctly, without overdoing it.If you’ve been told to “just manage” endometriosis but haven’t been given clear, practical guidance — this episode will help you understand what your body needs and how to support it through nutrition.Disclaimer:The information in this podcast is intended for general educational purposes only and should not replace personalised medical or dietetic advice.
