Show Notes
In this episode, we’re revisiting a conversation with Dr. Lara Briden, a naturopathic doctor and expert in hormone and period health. We’ll explore endometriosis, a condition that shares symptoms with PCOS—such as irregular cycles and heavy periods—but is often misdiagnosed.
Dr. Briden highlights the key differences between the two conditions, why endometriosis is misunderstood, and the challenges in achieving a proper diagnosis. You’ll also learn about systemic inflammation and immune dysfunction, which play a key role in this complex condition.
This is the first of a two-part series. Today’s focus is on understanding endometriosis and its diagnostic challenges. Next week, we’ll dive into treatment options, including surgery and natural approaches.
