The Endometriosis Nutritionist Podcast

If you only can or want to make one change to your diet to reduce the severity of your endometriosis symptoms, this is the one: go fully gluten-free. In this episode I share strategies with you on how to do this successfully. 

Does diet really make a difference for Endo? Let’s bust a big myth: Endometriosis symptoms are not just hormonal — they are inflammatory. And that means diet does matter. A lot. In fact, the right foods can help ease pain and inflammation — and I’ll explain exactly how in this episode, which is a recording of a webinar I ran at the beginning of 2026. 

We all know sugar isn’t good for us, don’t we.  But do you know how sugar affects your Endometriosis? And which foods contain hidden sugar? And then there’s the challenge of how to remove sugar from your diet. This episode is a recording of a webinar I ran in 2024. In it I explain how sugar and sugary foods contribute to inflammation and many of your Endometriosis symptoms and how to remove sugar from your diet. 

If you have Endometriosis, you’ve probably heard that reducing inflammation is key — but what does that actually look like in real life? In this episode, I walk you through some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients, including turmeric, ginger, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and polyphenols — and, importantly, how to get more of them into your everyday meals without overwhelm or restriction. You’ll learn how these nutrients help calm inflammatory pathways, support immune balance, and reduce oxidative stress — all of which play a role in managing Endometriosis symptoms.  For a deeper dive into specific nutrients, you may also want to listen to: • Episode 144: Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s – Fats That Fight Inflammation • Episode 131: Magnesium & Endometriosis – The Mineral Your Body’s Probably Craving 

Many women with endo are on the surgery ‘not so merry’ go round.  It is hard on the body, and getting ‘match fit’ beforehand and looking after yourself afterwards can really help to get through better and recover faster. This course provides you with how to use what you eat and drink to get in the best shape possible to recover fast.  #endometriosis #theendometriosistnutritionist #EndometriosisDiscoveryCall #endometriosissymptoms #NutritionForEndometriosis #1in10 #endoadvice #nutritionist #NutritionAdvice #theendometriosisnutritionistpodcast #endosurgery #recoverfromsurgery #laparoscopy 

If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice. In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health. You’ll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients. I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles. This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach. 🎧 If you’re currently taking a prenatal multivitamin, I also recommend listening to episode 115, where I explain why the type of folate you take matters more than you may realise.  I’ve created a free guide that explains how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility. It’s called “5 strategies to improve your fertility naturally“ and you can download it here: https://www.subscribepage.com/5strategiesimprovefertilitynaturally  #endometriosis #theendometriosistnutritionist #EndometriosisDiscoveryCall #endometriosissymptoms #NutritionForEndometriosis #1in10 #endoadvice #nutritionist #NutritionAdvice #theendometriosisnutritionistpodcast #fertility #endometriosisfertility #fertilitysupplements #boostfertility 

Many of my clients have difficulties with sleep: difficulty falling asleep or waking up often, or not getting enough sleep, or if they do, not getting the quality sleep they want. And studies have shown that in Endometriosis, poor quality sleep contributes to period pain, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bladder pain and more depressive symptoms. So what does good sleep look like, and how does your sleep affect your Endometriosis? I’ve created a free guide “5 Steps to reducing your Endometriosis symptoms with nutrition”.

Omega-6 fats are often blamed for inflammation inEndometriosis — but here’s the truth: they’re not the enemy. The real issue is how much we’re getting from processed foods, and how little omega-3 we’re consuming to balance things out. In this episode, I’ll explain how these fatsinfluence inflammation in Endo — and what simple, realistic changes can actually make a difference.I’ve created a free guide “5 Steps to reducing your Endometriosis symptoms with nutrition”.

There is a lot of confusion and conflicting advice online around dairy, gluten, and soy for fertility — especially for people with Endometriosis: are they good for you? Should you avoid them? This episode explores what the evidence says, why some people benefit from reducing these foods, and how to know what’s right for your body.  I’ve created a free guide that explains how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility. It’s called “5 strategies to improve your fertility naturally“ and you can download it here: https://www.subscribepage.com/5strategiesimprovefertilitynaturally  #endometriosis #theendometriosistnutritionist #EndometriosisDiscoveryCall #endometriosissymptoms #NutritionForEndometriosis #1in10 #endoadvice #nutritionist #NutritionAdvice #theendometriosisnutritionistpodcast #fertility #endometriosisfertility #gluten #dairy #soy #boostfertility

Is Endometriosis actually an autoimmune condition? For decades we’ve been told it’s all about hormones—but new research shows your immune system may be the missing link. And that changes everything. The article that I refer to in this episode is Untangling Endometriosis, by Lauren Clark, published in the New Scientist on 27 September 2025.

If you live with Endometriosis and find yourself struggling with anxiety, you are not alone. But here’s the thing — it’s not just in your head.

If you’re living with Endometriosis and want to start or grow your family, you may be worried about your fertility. You might have heard that Endometriosis can make it harder to conceive—but what often goes unmentioned is the impact it can have on egg quality.Egg quality isn’t about how many eggs you have—it’sabout how healthy those eggs are and how capable they are of being fertilised, developing into a healthy embryo, and leading to a successful pregnancy. In this episode I explain how Endometriosis influences egg quality and,importantly, what you can do to improve it.I also have a free guide you can download explaining how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility.

If you’ve been told that Endometriosis is “all about hormones,” it’s time to rethink that narrative. Yes, hormones play a role, but they’re not the true root cause of the condition. The real driver? Chronic inflammation. And until you address it, you may find your symptoms keep coming back—no matter how many surgeries or hormone treatments you’ve tried. In this episode I explore the role of inflammation in your endometriosis and share tips on how to use your diet to start to reduce this inflammation.  If you’re ready to start personalising your nutrition for Endometriosis, reach out—I’d love to support you.

If you're living with Endometriosis and constantly feeling wiped out, foggy, or like your body just won’t cooperate—iron deficiency could be playing a much bigger role than you think. In this episode I explain why your body needs iron and how iron deficiency may be one of the factors behind your fatigue.  If you’re ready to start personalising your nutrition for Endometriosis, reach out—I’d love to support you.

When we think of Endometriosis, we often think of hormones, painful periods or fertility issues. But what if one of the biggest obstacles to healing was something you rarely consider—your gut? In this episode I explain how your gut may stand in the way of improved Endo symptoms.  If you’re ready to start personalising your nutrition for Endometriosis, reach out—I’d love to support you.

Resistant starch, a type of fibre that resists digestion in the small intestine, is a valuable food source for gut bacteria in the large intestine. These bacteria ferment resistant starch, producing beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate, which supports gut health and protects against diseases.  In this episode I explain why resistant starch is important to have in your diet, the foods that contain it and how you can use one simple food to feed your beneficial bacteria.  #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #guthealth #gutbacteria #gutmicrobiome

I don’t really focus on weight loss in my programs, as I’vefound that if you create the diet that is right for your Endometriosis, you will also start to lose weight if you need to.  But I questioned my assumption about weight and Endo when I sat in my daughter’s appointment with a gynaecologist who suggested she put on weight to manage her oestrogen better. So I decided to do the research and this is what I discovered. If you want to explore whether nutrition can be the right option for you to take some control over your symptoms, book a complementary Endometriosis Discovery Call.  https://theendometriosisnutritionist.online/endometriosis-discovery-call/#endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms#endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #bodyweightinEndo

Vitamin B9 (or folate, folic acid or folinic acid) is a key vitamin for pregnancy. It is recommended to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in your baby. It is also a key vitamin for the body to make new cells: blood cells and in particular healthy red blood cells, brain cells, skin, hair and nails. In this episode I explain what the different types of vitamin B9 are, what needs to happen in your body for it to be able to use it and why I recommend you stop taking supplements with one form of B9.

Welcome to year 5 of the Endometriosis Nutritionist podcast! I’ve been publishing podcast episodes for 4 years now, and my little podcast has been listened to more than 130k times by people all over the world! I’m so happy that so many of you find the podcast helpful and I’m very excited about the fifth year.   Let’s kick year 5 off with an episode about fertility and pregnancy. So, why does it take 2 to do the fertility tango?  I’m not an expert on male fertility and I’m not going into what types of fertility issues your male partner (or the person providing the sperm) may have and what to do about it.   But if you have Endometriosis and are experiencing difficulty falling pregnant or are having early pregnancy losses, it is important to consider that it truly takes 2 to do the fertility tango.  #endometriosis #endometriosissymptoms #endometriosisdiet #nutritionforendometriosis #reduceendometriosissymptoms #endometriosisnutrition #endometriosisnutritionist #infertility #miscarriage #improvefertility #earlypregnancyloss #maleinfertility 

Endometriosis directly affects your fertility and increases the risk of early pregnancy loss.
