3 Short Videos on Endometriosis That Will Blow Your Mind
“Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease!” Said the teacher.
“Oh, I get it now!” Said no one ever.
Feel familiar? You’re not alone! Most of us don’t even know what inflammation is. I certainly didn’t many moons ago. In fact, I thought it was just something you got… like I ate sugar and the sugar gave me inflammation.
On the contrary, inflammation is something your immune system does. More like, I ate sugar, the sugar damaged my body in some way, and my immune system started attacking (i.e. inflammation). See? Pretty different perspective. And, in the endo body, your immune system is doing inflammation both wrong and without end. This makes addressing inflammation and immune dysfunction top priority!
In fact, without addressing the underlying inflammatory triggers, you may be stuck in a pit of endo-despair, wondering why you’re not feeling better even though you think you’re doing “everything” (when in fact you may be doing a lot, though none of it what your body really needs to heal).
Want to learn more? Of course you do! As an endo ninja-warrior you’re here so you can understand your body, what’s happening to is, and course correct to finally get the healing gains you need. So sit back and relax while watching these 3 short videos (no more than 8 minutes TOTAL) on what inflammation is, how it’s dysfunctional in the endo body, and how to address it.
