The Bean Talk - Episode 22: The connection between Endometriosis and the Gut
This week, Riannon and Jeremy unpack a condition that affects millions of women but is still widely misunderstood - endometriosis. Prompted by a controversial media comment dismissing endo as a "made-up issue," they dive deep into what endometriosis actually is, why it's so often misdiagnosed, and how it can impact everything from fertility to digestion.
They also explore the powerful connection between the gut and endo, sharing the latest research on intestinal permeability, immune dysfunction, and the microbiome's role in inflammation. Plus, Riannon breaks down the practical testing options and natural strategies that can help manage endometriosis symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and support overall wellbeing.
From turmeric and vitamin D to gut testing and dietary shifts, this episode is packed with real talk and real solutions. Whether you've been diagnosed, suspect you might have endo, or want to better understand someone who does, this one's for you.
