What endometriosis really is and how it behaves as a whole-body condition.
Why common advice often fails.
How to identify patterns in your own symptoms.
The role of nutrition, targeted nutrients, and herbal support.
How functional testing like EndoMAP and pathology can provide clarity.
What realistic progress looks like and where to begin.
