S01 E15 – Can Endometriosis Cause Acne?

Infertility, painful periods, hormonal imbalances, acne, digestive issues… So many women are told that their symptoms are just a part of being a woman and are often prescribed birth control or antidepressants without investigating the root cause. But could these symptoms be signs of something deeper, like endometriosis?

In this episode, we’re breaking down endometriosis and how it relates to acne. As well, Cris and I are taking a deep dive into holistic approaches to manage endo and why hormone supplements may not be the best course of action.

In this week’s episode, we discuss…

• Blind supplementation and the common practice of self-diagnosing.
• The importance of addressing gut health for hormonal balance.
• Endometriosis management – from medical interventions to natural remedies.
• Finding a balance in fitness and the impact of intense workouts on hormonal balance.
• Understanding estrogen dominance and the impact of genetic factors and environmental toxins.
• Stress management and its role in hormonal imbalances.
• Hormonal balance and seeking a holistic approach to optimal health.
