There are several reasons why SIBO and gut dysbiosis can influence endo growth, but today, I want to talk about just one of them, and that’s β-glucuronidase.

Today’s episode is a quick but informative one as I have a very packed week of client calls.So, I wanted to do a mini episode on gastroparesis and delayed gastric emptying (stomach emptying) in hEDS and POTS patients, because as you probably know by now if you listen to my show, people with endo have a higher risk of having one or both of these conditions.References:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39990556/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39990556/,https://jchr.org/index.php/JCHR/article/view/5363, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3413773/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12283190/https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7255528/, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26376608/, https://assets.cureus.com/uploads/original_article/pdf/30528/1612430138-1612430130-20210204-18203-dyitxb.pdfhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6874806/, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9169754/, https://www.ehlers-danlos.org/information/gastrointestinal-problems-in-hypermobile-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-and-hypermobility-spectrum-disorders/, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/fullhttps://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/full, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9169754/Can nausea and vomiting be treated with ginger extract? - PubMed, Efficacy of ginger for nausea and vomiting: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials - PubMed, Ginger in gastrointestinal disorders: A systematic review of clinical trials - PMC, https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/10/11/1715Ginger in gastrointestinal disorders: A systematic review of clinical trials - PMC, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10442508/, https://www.europeanreview.org/article/10145, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18403946/The impact of peppermint oil on the irritable bowel syndrome: a meta-analysis of the pooled clinical data | BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies | Springer Nature Link, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17653649/https://www.gidoctor.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1291965.pdf, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17539894/, https://www.siboinfo.com/sibo-prevention.htmlhttps://ldnresearchtrust.org/beth-livengood-nd-gastroparesis-case-study-2017-conference-ldn-low-dose-naltrexonehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9169754/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9169754/https://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/low-fodmap-diet-endometriosis-pots-edshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11213895/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9169754/https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1379646/full#ref30Affiliate PartnershipsmBIOTA - You can learn more about the formula at mbiota.com and get 20% off with code ENDOLIFE (all caps).

Today’s episode is with Dr Alexis Cutchins and we’re talking all about pelvic congestion syndrome (or pelvic venous disease as it’s also known as) and its connection to endometriosis, POTS, MCAS and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders.Dr Cutchins is a board certified cardiologist with a passion for caring for patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders. After 13 years as Assistant Professor of Medicine in the division of Cardiology at Emory University she became founder and CEO of Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine in New York City.She has been recognized globally for her clinical excellence in the care and management of patients with complex chronic illness, specifically, POTS, Dysautonomia and Long COVID. She is also known for her research contributions in this area specifically related to POTS and its comorbid conditions highlighting the role of Pelvic Venous Disease in Orthostatic Intolerance. She serves as a board member for the International Society for Mast Cell Activation Syndromes (ISMCAS), Standing Up To POTS, and SAFIRE (Spencer’s Association For Interventional Research & Education) a nonprofit organisation advocating for care and research for underdiagnosed syndromes such as POTS, Pelvic Venous Disease and others.Pelvic congestion syndrome can manifest as symptoms very similar to endo, so it’s often not investigated in our demographic, despite it being very common in our community. So today Dr Cutchins is being our advocate and sharing the symptoms, how to get diagnosed and what tests to ask for, and the treatment options available to us.If you have daily chronic pelvic pain, or leg pain, or you suspect or know you have POTS, HSD or hEDS or MCAS, this is worth a listen.Affiliate PartnershipsmBIOTA- mBIOTA Elemental is the next generation of the elemental diet and is developed with leading gastroenterologists and food scientists.

Today’s episode is a nice short, and practical episode as I know we’ve been very science heavy lately!I was having a conversation with a client this week, who would like to make some changes to her diet not just for endo, but due to some other health issues which would benefit from leaning towards more of an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean style of eating.And often, we assume in this day and age of wellness, that changes need to be elaborate, restrictive or include lots of supplements, but often, we really need to get started first with the foundations.Affiliate PartnershipsDITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

Alice van der Schoot is a PhD nutrition scientist with a background in neuroscience. Her work brings together both fields to explore how nutrition can impact underlying mechanisms of PMS, PMDD, and period pain to reduce symptoms - from neurotransmitter function, to pain processing and inflammation. Recognising that valuable research often remains hidden in academic journals, Alice founded DITTO to address the disconnect between scientific evidence and meaningful solutions in menstrual health. DITTO has a clinically studied supplement formulated specifically for PMS, PMDD, and period pain, with key nutrients that may also support individuals with endometriosis. DITTO's social channels are also a platform for science communication - breaking down important research to make it accessible to those who need it most, and if you haven’t checked out her Instagram to see her coverage on research, I highly recommend you do!⁠References⁠DITTO linksWebsiteInstagram @ditto.daily20% discount code: ENDOBELLYAffiliate PartnershipsDITTO - DITTO is a clinically studied PMS and PMDD supplement with 10 ingredients that target both the mental and physical challenges that come along with the menstrual cycle, developed by a PhD Nutrition Scientist.

This episode was inspired by a recent Substack of mine. I have a section in my Substack called ‘What I’m eating lately’ and it’s just a section where I share healthy meal ideas that support us with endo and our many chronic illnesses. I shared how I had started using whole seeds instead of spices for my interstitial cystitis, and I got a really positive response from others who had struggled with bland meals since their IC developed.So, for those of you who aren’t aware, interstitial cystitis is also called Bladder Pain Syndrome, and is a condition that causes bladder pressure, frequent urination, poor bladder emptying, bladder pain and more, without a clear cause. It’s a co-condition of endometriosis, and it can be extremely debilitating to live with. I have multiple episodes on the condition, so if you want to deep dive into it, go on a scroll through my podcast feed, and I’ve linked a few below.Show Notes: This episode is sponsored by Mira, your at-home hormone testing device.
