My interview with Cindy Dabrowska, MAN, RD about endometriosis, adhesions, and nutrition was fantastic! It’s a complex subject and I learned a ton. Having someone as experienced as Cindy to talk to us about it was really encouraging. I hope you’ll all take a look!
We covered:
- The individual nature of diet
- A quick overview of endometriosis vs. fibrous adhesions
- Cindy’s thoughts about Pre- and Post- surgery care
- Persistent symptoms after surgery
- Inflammation
- The immune system and the gut
- Hormones
- Cindy’s loose four-step framework for where to start
- The nervous system
We covered A LOT in a very short period of time! I’d love to know what you think.
NEXT UP!
