Endo Uncovered Part 3: You’re Newly Diagnosed With Endometriosis - Now What? | Ep 428

You finally got the endometriosis diagnosis. Now what do you actually do after years of pain, dismissal, weird symptoms, confusing imaging, surgery, or being told everything looked “normal”?

While a diagnosis can feel validating, it can also bring a whole new wave of fear, especially around fertility, surgery, symptom management, and whether this condition is going to define the rest of your life.

In part 3 of the endo series, Erin and Rachel walk through the labs, nutrition, lifestyle shifts, gut support, hormone testing, nervous system work, and supplements they think about when supporting clients with endometriosis. Rachel also talks about excision surgery and why you still need a whole body approach.

In this episode:

• The two biggest questions Rachel hears after diagnosis: “Can I still have kids?” and “How do I manage this?”
• Why Rachel considers the DUTCH test a necessity for endometriosis, especially for hormone metabolism
• Why broccoli sprouts are the little overachievers of cruciferous vegetables
• How emotional suppression, people-pleasing, over-functioning, trauma history, and chronic stress can amplify symptom expression
• The supplement Rachel used after excision surgery that helped with her post-op period pain
