Demystifying the Endometriosis Diet

Send us a textWelcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast!  In this week’s episode, I discuss “the endometriosis diet.” Contrary to popular belief, there isn't one specific diet to follow.  There is no one diet because everyone is bio-individual, meaning we all have different bodies and we do not process foods the exact same way.    In this episode, you’ll hear:-Why there isn’t a singular diet for endometriosis, and why there is so much confusion out there.-The key is your unique bio-individuality, and what works for others might not work for you because our bodies are all different.-Eat primarily whole foods, which are foods you find in nature like meat, fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds if your body tolerates it.-Focus on a nutrient-dense diet to ensure you're getting a wide range of nutrients like colorful vegetables, as each offers unique nutritional benefits; also prioritize omega-3s and protein, which are crucial for healing and overall well-being.-Organic and grass feed and finished meat, pasture-raised eggs and poultry, and wild-caught fish and seafood are best for your body and the environment.    -Avoid vegetable oils like canola, corn, soybean, safflower, and sunflower oils, as well as sugar and processed foods; these can cause inflammation in the body, potentially aggravating endometriosis symptoms.-Focus on fats like ghee, coconut oil, and avocado oil; olive oil works well for low heat or salads. For sweeteners, opt for lower glycemic options like maple syrup, fruit, coconut sugar, and honey.-Bio-individuality means we're all unique, with different bodies and needs; it's not just about what you eat, but also about your cultural, religious, and personal beliefs.-Identify problematic foods like dairy or gluten that might worsen your endometriosis symptoms due to inflammation. Consider trying a 30-day elimination diet like the PALEO AIP. Trust your intuition to discover which foods suit you best and allow you to customize your diet to your needs, ultimately understanding your bio-individuality. Check out the guide below to create your personalized endometriosis diet.  It's a valuable resource for deciding what works best for you. Remember, eating should be enjoyable, not stressful or dreaded.Resources:Episode 26 Subscribe to the Aligned to Rise Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect w/ Alyssa: Instagram Website Work w/ Alyssa: Free Endo Diet Guide Free Quiz: What's Your Poop Telling You?
