What is endometriosis and how is it affecting me?

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pain, inflammation, and hormonal disruption. It’s not just a reproductive issue — it can affect digestion, skin, mood, and energy too.

As a naturopath experienced in endometriosis, I help you understand how it’s showing up in your body and create a plan to support healing, naturally.

Here are four key things to know:

Tissue grows where it shouldn’t

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it’s not meant to - often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, and surrounding organs, leading to chronic inflammation.

It reacts to your cycle

This tissue responds to hormonal changes, bleeding and shedding each month. But with no way to exit the body, it leads to pain, inflammation, bloating, and sometimes fertility challenges.

It can affect the whole body

Endometriosis is more than a reproductive condition. It can impact digestion, immune health, hormones, skin, and the nervous system - often showing up in ways that seem unrelated.

It’s under-diagnosed and often misunderstood

Around 1 in 10 women are thought to have endometriosis, but diagnosis can take years. Even without a formal diagnosis, your symptoms are real and deserve care.

Effectively manage your endometriosis

Through personalised naturopathic support, we’ll work to calm inflammation, balance hormones, and ease symptoms such as painful periods, bloating, fatigue, and pelvic discomfort. Using nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle strategies backed by evidence, you’ll gain the tools to reduce pain, restore energy, and feel more in control of your health.

  • Initial Consultation
    60-90 minutes | Investment: $249

    Your first session provides a detailed understanding of your health and where to begin. Together, we’ll explore your hormone patterns, lifestyle, and key symptoms to uncover what’s driving your endometriosis.

     

    You’ll receive:

    • A comprehensive review of your health, hormones, and lifestyle

    • An in-depth assessment of symptoms such as pelvic pain, fatigue, and cycle changes

    • A tailored treatment plan to reduce inflammation and support hormone balance

    • Recommendations for hormone or functional testing, if appropriate*

    • Prescription of therapeutic-grade supplements and herbal medicine*

     

    This appointment is the first step in moving beyond symptom management, helping you create lasting hormonal balance, less pain, and a stronger foundation for long-term wellbeing.

  • EndoMAP

    The EndoMap is one of the most valuable tests for women with endometriosis because it reveals the deeper hormonal, metabolic and environmental patterns that drive inflammation, pain and recurring symptoms. Unlike standard blood tests, the EndoMap shows how your hormones are being produced, metabolised and cleared, and identifies whether pathways such as oestrogen detoxification, cortisol rhythm or progesterone metabolism are contributing to flares. It also screens for endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and organic acid markers that commonly impact endo. This level of insight allows me to create a highly targeted, root-cause treatment plan rather than relying on guesswork - helping you reduce pain, regulate cycles, improve energy and see meaningful results sooner.

  • Hormonal and inflammatory systems take time to shift, so meaningful results typically require at least 3–4 months of consistent work. Your commitment to the nutrition, supplement and lifestyle recommendations is essential for real improvement.

     

    Monthly follow-up consultations are recommended to keep you on track and adjust your plan as your symptoms change.

     

    Retesting is also encouraged to measure progress and ensure long-term, sustainable results. Retesting is usually done after 4 months, from here we will either continue working together or you will be ready for self-directed management .

Recommended Functional Test: EndoMAP

The EndoMAP is NutriPATH’s most comprehensive at-home dried urine test, offering a full assessment of hormonal, metabolic and environmental factors that influence hormone health. It provides detailed insights into four major hormone pathways: oestrogen, androgens, progesterone and glucocorticoids - giving a complete picture of hormone production, metabolism and clearance. The panel also includes organic acids, endocrine disruptors and heavy metals, helping identify deeper drivers of hormonal imbalance.

  • Best suited for women with endometriosis, painful or heavy periods, chronic pelvic pain, PMS/PMDD, fertility concerns, bloating, inflammation, mood swings or complex hormonal symptoms. Ideal when deeper insight is needed beyond standard hormone blood tests.

    • Type: Advanced dried urine hormone, metabolite, and environmental toxin assessment

    • Collection Method: At-home urine collection

    • Turnaround Time: Usually 7-10 days

    • Results will be sent to the practitioner who will analysis the results. You will be provided with a functional test report and health strategy based off your results.

    • Want to know more? Read the information sheet here

  • The EndoMAP guides your targeted treatment plan by showing how estrogen, progesterone, androgens and cortisol are functioning at a metabolic level. It also reveals endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and key organic acid markers influencing inflammation and hormone balance.

     

    Your protocol is customised to support detox pathways, reduce flares, stabilise cycles and address the specific biochemical drivers of your symptoms.

  • How it works:

    • Book your Functional Test Discovery Call and complete the intake form provided.

    • During the call, we will discuss your symptoms and determine which functional test is the best fit for your needs.

    • An invoice will be issued. Once payment is received, your test kit will be ordered and shipped directly to you.

    • When your kit arrives, carefully follow the instructions for sample collection and return shipping. Reach out anytime if you need guidance.

    • Once your kit is returned to NutriScript, results typically take 7–10 days to process.

    • When your results are ready, we will meet for your Initial Consultation to review your results in depth and create a personalised treatment plan.

A natural approach for endometriosis

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to endometriosis. As a naturopath with a special interest in endometriosis, I work with you to uncover the underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms and create a personalised, evidence-informed plan to support your healing. This may include addressing:

Estrogen dominance & hormone imbalances

An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone can drive the growth of endometrial tissue and worsen symptoms like heavy bleeding, cramping, acne, and mood fluctuations.

Inflammation & immune dysregulation

Ongoing inflammation and a dysregulated immune response can heighten pain, trigger flare-ups, and contribute to the spread of endometrial tissue in the body.

Liver overload & poor detoxification

If your liver isn't efficiently clearing excess hormones and toxins, estrogen can recirculate in the body - fuelling hormonal imbalance and endometriosis symptoms.

Gut health issues & microbiome imbalances

A disrupted gut microbiome can impair estrogen clearance, increase systemic inflammation, and worsen bloating, constipation, and digestive discomfort often seen with endo.

Nervous system dysregulation & chronic stress

High stress levels can disrupt hormone production, increase pain sensitivity, and prevent your body from accessing its natural healing state — keeping you in survival mode instead of repair.

Client case study: Endometriosis and whole-body healing

Endometriosis | Pain | Hormonal Acne | Fatigue

Female, 29 years old

Presenting concerns: Endometriosis (surgically confirmed), chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, hormonal acne, fatigue, and digestive bloating.

Initial consult summary

Heavy, painful periods with clotting

“Endo belly” and bloating, especially around ovulation and menstruation

Cyclical hormonal acne on her chin and jaw

Low energy and brain fog, especially mid-luteal phase

A feeling of being “stuck in survival mode”

Her diet was relatively balanced, but she consumed a moderate amount of dairy, gluten, and alcohol. She also had a high-stress job with poor work-life boundaries and minimal nervous system regulation.

What we focused on

We focused on herbal support to regulate hormones and ease inflammation, alongside nutrition and supplements to balance blood sugar, support liver detox, and calm the nervous system. Simple daily practices were also introduced to reduce stress and reconnect with the menstrual cycle.

After 1 month

Pain and bloating had started to ease, skin was clearing, and energy felt more stable.

After 2 months

Cycles were becoming more regular, period pain had reduced further, and acne flare-ups were less frequent.

After 3 months

Periods were manageable without medication, energy and mood were more consistent, and there was a stronger sense of connection and trust in the body.
