Endometriosis & PCOS: The Overlap 💛

Many don’t realize these two conditions often co-exist. Both can cause painful periods, irregular cycles, hormonal changes, and even infertility, but the impact goes far beyond reproduction.

PCOS can lead to weight fluctuations, acne, excess hair growth, and metabolic struggles.
Endometriosis can bring severe pain, digestive issues, and chronic fatigue.
Together, they can take a toll on your confidence, self-image, and daily life.

These conditions are not “just period problems.” They’re whole-body issues that can affect how you show up at work, in relationships, and even how you feel about yourself in the mirror.

Awareness = answers.

If you’ve been diagnosed with one, it’s worth asking about the other. With such high overlap rates, you deserve thorough testing, clear answers, and real solutions.

Infertility is one of the most painful and misunderstood parts of living with endometriosis.

For many women, it’s not just about the physical struggle, it’s the years of unanswered questions, the emotional rollercoaster, and the feeling of isolation when your body doesn’t follow the path you thought it would.

Silent endo (when endometriosis develops without the “classic” symptoms like painful periods) makes this even harder.

It can go undiagnosed for years and is sometimes only discovered during fertility testing. This delay doesn’t just affect fertility options, it takes a toll on mental health - bringing feelings of grief, frustration, and loneliness.

This is why early awareness and proper evaluation matter.

If you’re facing unexplained infertility, consider asking your provider about endometriosis, even if you don’t have obvious symptoms.

PCOS is another leading cause of infertility that should also be assessed.

You are not alone in this journey. There is support, there is hope, and your story deserves to be heard. 💓

Period pain isn’t “just part of being a woman.”
Up to 80% of women experience painful periods, and for many, that pain is debilitating - causing missed work, sleepless nights, and a quality of life constantly interrupted.

It’s not just about cramps. Period pain and heavy bleeding can change the course of women’s lives:

50% of girls drop out of sports because of their periods.

In the U.S., ~16 million people live with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), which can mean excessive blood loss, clotting, and periods lasting 7+ days.

We deserve better options.
That’s where OhmBody comes in:
✨ A wearable, drug-free device that stimulates the vagus and trigeminal nerves to support menstrual discomfort
✨ Helps “prime” platelets to reduce heavy bleeding naturally
✨ Pilot studies show: 50% less blood loss, shorter periods, less cramping, improved mood & energy

Your cycle shouldn’t hold you back. Relief is possible and it’s science-backed.

here’s how my first international trip went: felt cute for a day, had some tea and a massage, and ended up crashing out hard with some endo fatigue 🤪🤗

09/02/2025

Fatigue with endometriosis is not just “being tired.”
It is bone-deep exhaustion caused by chronic inflammation, immune system activation, hormone imbalance, and the constant toll of pain on the body.

For me, it hits hardest when I am out of routine. If my sleep schedule is off, if I push past my limits, or if my nutrition slips during travel or busy weeks, the fatigue feels overwhelming. It is not just a lack of energy, it is like my body is running on empty no matter how much I try to push through.

This is not laziness. It is a physiological response to a full-body disease.

Things that can help me manage include:
• Prioritizing anti-inflammatory meals
• Protecting my sleep and circadian rhythm
• Gentle movement and pacing my energy
• Supplementation

But even with these tools, there are days where rest is the only option. And that is valid. Rest is medicine.

You are not weak for needing rest. Fatigue is one of the most under-recognized symptoms of endometriosis, and it deserves to be talked about and validated.

Nausea is one of the least talked about but most frustrating symptoms of endometriosis. 🤢

Here’s why it happens:
• Inflammation from endo lesions can irritate your gut.
• Pain itself can trigger nausea.
• And one big culprit. prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are hormone-like chemicals your body releases during your period. They cause your uterus to contract (aka cramps). But when there’s an excess, they don’t just stay local.

They can enter the bloodstream, affecting the digestive system and even the brain. That’s why many people with endo feel waves of nausea, diarrhea, or dizziness along with period pain.

If this is part of your endo journey, you are not alone. It’s real. It’s valid. And it deserves more awareness. 💛

This is my health toolbox. ✨

And let me tell you - even though I teach people all about health and lifestyle, there has never been a single day where I’ve done every single thing on the list. And that’s okay.

Some days I wake up full of energy and lean on movement, nourishing food (okay this is a pretty constant one I may say), and mindfulness.

Other days, my “toolbox” looks more like rest, hydration, and giving myself grace. That’s the point, health isn’t about perfection or checking every box.

It’s about building a set of tools that support you, and then knowing which ones to reach for when you need them.

Your toolbox might include nutrition, sleep, journaling, supplements, stress management, movement, therapy, or community. Mine shifts every single day depending on what my body needs. Some days that looks like a long walk and a balanced meal. Other days it looks like curling up with a heating pad and practicing breathwork.

When you stop expecting yourself to “do it all” and start focusing on what you need today, that’s when consistency and balance actually become possible. Health isn’t about doing everything.

It’s about having the tools and knowing how to use them. 🤍

We grow up learning so little about our own bodies and yet our hormones are constantly shifting from birth, to menarche, to our cycling years, all the way through peri-menopause and post-menopause.

Your cycle isn’t just one moment (or simply “your period”). It’s a lifelong hormonal rhythm that impacts everything from mood and energy to bone + heart health.

This is why women need evidence-based education. Not just when something goes “wrong,” but throughout every season of life.

Let’s change the narrative and empower women with knowledge we should have had all along. 💛

A Guide on Navigating Potential Endometriosis 💛

It took me over 10 years to receive a diagnosis and proper treatment for endometriosis. Along the way, I saw countless doctors - PCPs, OB-GYNs, GI specialists, endocrinologists, and even a rheumatologist. None of them listened, and many insinuated or flat-out told me to see a psychiatrist, implying that my symptoms were all in my head.

Medical gaslighting is real and it’s painful, but let me assure you, there are great doctors out there. I did have to fly out of state to find the right care, but when I finally did, my doctor listened from day one and validated all the pain and confusion I had been through.

No matter what, never stop advocating for yourself. You live in your body, no one else does.

Painful periods are not normal.
Swollen, inflamed ovaries and constant bloating are not typical.
Uncontrolled weight gain is not normal.
Recurring SIBO is not normal.
Excruciating pain radiating down your legs is not normal.

This is for the 1 in 10 women facing the challenges of endometriosis, and for those who won’t even realize for years that they are struggling with it. Keep fighting for the care and answers you deserve.

For many with endometriosis, back pain is a real and often overlooked symptom.

From dull aches to sharp, shooting pain, it can flare around your period, after sitting too long, during gut inflammation, or when your body is under stress.

So no - isn’t in your head. It’s your body asking for care. You deserve a care plan that looks at your whole body, not just your uterus.

Your joint pain might not be random. 💛

One of my first symptoms was terrible joint pain. I saw multiple doctors and a rheumatologist - and no answers. Until I learned I had endometriosis.

Endometriosis has been shown to share immune and inflammatory features with autoimmune diseases.

One study even found that women with endo had higher rates of autoimmune conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren’s syndrome (PMID: 40262193).

That achy, stiff, or swollen feeling, especially around your period or during flares, deserves to be taken seriously.

• Painful joints
• Fatigue
• Inflammation that travels
…may all be part of the picture when it comes to whole-body endo symptoms.

Does anything help your joint pain? ⬇️
