There are real hormonal and gut-related reasons behind it.I walk you through how shifts in estrogen and progesterone impact your digestion, how histamine plays a major role (especially if symptoms feel unpredictable), and why conditions like endometriosis can make everything more intense. We also talk about the infamous “period poops” and what’s actually causing them.Most importantly, I connect the dots between your hormones, gut health, and nervous system, because none of these systems work in isolation.Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

This week, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked pieces of the endometriosis puzzle: vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and how they could be driving your symptoms more than you realize.So many of us are told that our pain, fatigue, and bloating are just part of having endo, but the truth is, there are deeper imbalances happening beneath the surface. In this episode, I break down the most common deficiencies I see with endometriosis, including vitamin D, B12, and key minerals like magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium, and why these are absolutely foundational for healing.I also walk you through how poor gut health, stress, and long-term depletion can impact your body’s ability to absorb and use these nutrients, and why jumping straight into advanced gut protocols, detoxes, and cleanses without addressing minerals first can actually hold you back.We’ll talk about HTMA testing, common mineral patterns like burnout and “calcium shell,” and how these imbalances can affect everything from your hormones and thyroid to your energy, digestion, and pain levels.If you’ve been feeling stuck in your healing journey, reacting to supplements, or like nothing is working, this episode will help you understand why starting with the basics at a cellular level can completely change the game.Blog post mentioned in the episode: https://www.radiatewithrita.com/blog/the-role-of-minerals-in-reducing-endometriosis-symptoms-pain-bloating-fatigueStay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with endometriosis — how my symptoms started in college, the years of chronic pelvic pain that followed, and the long road it took to finally reclaim my health.I discuss experience with multiple surgeries, medications, and being told that birth control or more procedures were my only options. For a long time, I believed that endometriosis would control my life. But after continuing to struggle even after surgery, I started searching for deeper answers.I'll walk you through how shifting to a root-cause approach, like addressing gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle habits, completely changed the trajectory of my symptoms and my quality of life.If you’re living with endometriosis and feel like you’ve tried everything, I want you to know there are more options than you may have been told. This episode is about what I learned on my journey, what finally helped me feel like myself again, and why healing is possible. Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

GLP-1 medications seem to be everywhere right now, but are we really talking about the full picture, especially with food noise? In this episode, I'm diving into the growing popularity of GLP-1 drugs and why they’re quickly becoming one of the most talked-about tools in the health and weight-loss world.While these medications can be incredibly helpful for people dealing with conditions like insulin resistance, PCOS, obesity, and other metabolic challenges, I'm covering the deeper conversation that often gets overlooked. Are GLP-1s being used as a long-term solution, or just a temporary band-aid? And what might your body actually be trying to tell you when issues like food noise show up?If you’ve been hearing about GLP-1s everywhere and want a more nuanced perspective on how they fit into holistic health, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest questions women with endometriosis face: do you actually need surgery?I’m discussing the differences between excision and ablation, when surgery can be life-changing, and when deeper healing work may be just as important. I also share my personal experience with excision surgery and why addressing root causes like gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and nervous system regulation is essential, whether you’ve had surgery or not.This episode will help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and take a more complete approach to healing endometriosis so you can reduce pain, support fertility, and reclaim your quality of life.Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

In this episode, we’re diving into the real reason your SIBO keeps coming back, and why antibiotics and restrictive diets alone aren’t fixing the problem.I’m breaking down the root causes most practitioners overlook, including nervous system dysregulation, low stomach acid, thyroid dysfunction, mineral deficiencies, and hidden infections like H. pylori. You’ll learn why SIBO is a secondary condition, and what actually needs to be addressed if you want lasting relief.If you’re stuck in the cycle of temporary fixes, food fear, and recurring symptoms, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs to heal, and how to finally break free from the SIBO loop.Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

Ovulation pain is often brushed off as “normal,” but for many women, mid-cycle pain is disruptive, exhausting, and impossible to ignore. If ovulation pain affects your work, your energy, or your ability to live your life normally, your body is trying to communicate something deeper.In this episode, we break down what actually causes ovulation pain, why painful ovulation is not something you should have to tolerate, and what it can tell you about inflammation, hormones, gut health, and stress in the body. We talk about the difference between mild ovulation awareness and true ovulation pain, and why being told to “push through it” misses the bigger picture.You’ll also learn where to start if you want relief from painful ovulation so your cycle no longer has a chokehold on your life.If you crave personalized support + deeper support to tackle ovulation and/or cycle pain, fill out a 1:1 application below.Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

If you’re living with endometriosis, chronic bloating, or constant food reactions—and you’ve been stuck on an elimination diet like AIP—this week’s episode is for you.I sit down with one of my clients who came to me following the AIP diet, reacting to most foods, and feeling overwhelmed and fearful around eating. Her digestion + reactions felt unpredictable and her symptoms controlled her day-to-day life.

Endo fatigue is more than being tired. It’s the heavy, bone-deep exhaustion that shows up even when you sleep well, eat well, and do “everything right.” And it’s not just caused by the lesions themselves.In this episode, I walk you through the hidden drivers of fatigue with endometriosis that most women never get told about.We talk about inflammation, hormones, gut health, nervous system stress, mineral depletion, and the emotional load of living with a chronic condition. You’ll understand why your energy crashes feel unpredictable, why rest never feels restorative, and why your symptoms show up as fatigue just as much as pain.If you’ve been Googling “why am I so tired with endometriosis,” “endo fatigue,” or “how to get more energy with a chronic condition,” this episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you.And inside my FREE Endo Decoded Masterclass we dive deeper into the drivers of endo pain, bloat + fatigue and exactly where to start so you can get sustainable relief.

Endometriosis changes so much more than your body — it changes your relationship with yourself.In this episode, I’m opening up about how endometriosis completely reshaped the way I approach rest, food, exercise, and productivity. For years, I believed healing meant doing more — pushing harder, eating “perfectly,” and never slowing down. But endo had other plans.I’ll share how my healing journey forced me to redefine what rest really means, rebuild trust with food, and untangle my worth from how much I get done in a day.If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, frustrated that your body isn’t “bouncing back,” or exhausted from doing all the “right” things with endo... this episode is for you 💛If you're waiting to have endo excision surgery + have been wondering what to do to prep/ make for a smoother post-op period, snag my FREE pre/post op endo excision surgery checklist⁠!Stay connected by...joining my ⁠⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠⁠following me on IG ⁠⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!

Healing is never a straight line — especially when you’re living with a chronic condition.In this episode, I’m sharing what true healing actually looks like... the messy middle, the plateaus, the moments of doubt, and the quiet progress that doesn’t always show up on lab results.Because healing isn’t about “fixing” your body. It’s about nourishing it in the way it's literally begging for. It’s learning how to rest, to listen, and to stop measuring your worth by how productive or symptom-free you are.I’ll share what I’ve learned through my own healing journey with endo... the hard lessons, the breakthroughs, and the reality of what it means to pursue health that’s sustainable.If you’ve ever wondered, “Why don’t I feel better yet?” — this one’s for you. 💛Stay connected...joining my ⁠⁠Radiate & Thrive Newsletter ⁠⁠to stay connected. ⁠⁠follow me on IG ⁠⁠+ send me a DM saying hellur!⁠⁠fill out a 1:1 health coaching application ⁠⁠if you're ready for deeper/more intimate 1:1 support!If you resonated with this episode or found it helpful, please take a moment to rate this pod or leave a review!

Emily specializes in Orthopedic and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, and is especially passionate about all things menstrual health, fertility, and perinatal care. Emily also supports women with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and irregular menstrual cycles in her role as an HA Practitioner, where she helps women restore ovulation, get their period back, regulate their menstrual cycles, and if hoping to get pregnant, do so naturally. She feels fortunate to have been mentored by a wide array of professionals including functional RDs, naturopathic doctors, midwives, massage therapists, pelvic rehab specialists, and fertility awareness educators to bring a holistic approach to care for the women and couples she supports. Both during and outside of her clinical work, Emily loves to talk about taboo topics and challenge unsustainable societal standards to help girls/women find peace with their bodies and live their fullest, symptom-free life. Though Emily’s work was initially inspired by her own lived experience with disordered eating, orthorexia, RED-S, Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, infertility, injuries, and a poor relationship with her body…she is consistently inspired by the wonderful women she is so fortunate to support on a daily basis. If you are a woman who has struggled with disordered eating or has lost your cycle + you're wanting to retrieve it, this episode is for you so be sure to tune in + share with your friends or family who you think might benefit from hearing this episode.
