We're wrapping up Endometriosis Awareness month, but as physical therapist and health coach Naja Chikazunga-Martin and I discuss, endometriosis doesn't end when March is over! It's an issue women deal with YEAR-ROUND. If you suffer from endo (or know someone who does), tune into this awesome conversation. It's not just for women with endo, but for any woman with a menstrual cycle. Naja shares:
How we can use our cycle as our superpower... even with endo!
The importance of "remembering the wins" (remembering what's worked in the past) to retrain the brain and invoke a feeling of confidence and calm that helps SYSTEMWIDE, as well as reducing endo pain
Visceral manipulation and the energetic sense of endometriosis lesions
The importance of rest and routines
How to optimize gallbladder and liver health, support brain function and health, and support digestive health
Why the pelvic system is like a waltz
How to add veggies to your breakfast (try a baked sweet potato with grass-fed butter and cinnamon!)
The power of cinnamon bark (get my moon chocolate recipe! bit.ly/femchoc)
Menstrual protection (does using a pad instead of a tampon or cup help with endo pain?)
