Welcome to the first episode of Gutsy Talks! Today, I'm diving into a deeply overlooked connection - endometriosis and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Joining me is Karen Saunders, The Women's Naturopath. She is a degree-qualified naturopath with over eight years of clinical experience, dedicated to helping women uncover the root causes of their hormonal and digestive issues. Karen is a fierce advocate for better healthcare research and education on conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and gut health because when it comes to your body, there’s a better way!
In this episode, we chat about:
- The real reason why SIBO and endometriosis often go hand in hand
- Why bloating alone could be a sign of undiagnosed endo
- The gut’s role in chronic inflammation & immune dysfunction
- Why the diagnostic journey for endometriosis takes years
- Ways to incorporate foods that can benefit your hormones and gut
- Clearing up the myths around soy and oestrogen
- Karen's advice if you feel like you might have endometriosis and/or SIBO
