111: Busting 5 Myths on Endometriosis, Why Surgery is Not Enough and How a Root Cause Approach is the Best Path to True Healing
Nov 16, 2025 Season 3 Episode 111
Kery Knutson

Some say endometriosis is a hormonal problem. Too much estrogen means surgery and drugs. And while that seems to have been the approach for decades, some doctors are calling that for what it is -- ineffective and incomplete. 

Sure, some people out there may, in fact, require surgery. I won't suggest that it's totally off the table. I'm admittedly not an expert on that! BUT - there seems to be some tunnel vision going on in the conversations I've had with people about their thought process on such an ailment as endometriosis. 

So, join me as I take a look at what is really going on in your body if you have endometriosis and action you can take right now, to start to turn things around for yourself. Because, we are partners in our health journey with practitioners we work with... it's time we start acting like it!
