#75 Endometriosis Considerations for Training, Nutrition and Body Image
Season 2, Ep. 75
•
Core Takeaways
- Endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women and is often missed or dismissed.
- Nutrition: Mediterranean patterns may help, but evidence is small and not causal.
- Exercise: promising but unproven. Let your pain and energy guide the choices.
- Emotional wellbeing: body image distress and self-compassion challenges are common.
- The best approach: reduce the pressure, be compassionate, and focus on the overall journey, not perfection.
