THE
ENDOMETRIOSIS HEALTH & DIET PROGRAM
Get Your Life Back
Endometriosis can have a profound impact on a woman’s quality of life and
affects 6% to 10% of women worldwide.
Endometriosis is a mysterious disease that is poorly understood by almost everyone, including the vast
majority of physicians and health-care providers responsible for treating this condition. Endometriosis can
cause unbelievably severe pain, worse than that of surgery or childbirth. Although this is a benign disease,
meaning it is not a cancer, its impact can be devastating, effectively robbing a woman of her ability to live a
functional life.
While there is no known “cure” for endometriosis, there are effective treatments. For example, once treated
properly with a surgical procedure known as wide excision, most women will never experience recurrence.
While not a cancer, endometriosis is a tumor that needs to be completely removed.
This timely book dispels the myths surrounding endometriosis and provides recommendations that are easy
to understand and follow.
The book is split into four accessible and straightforward sections. Part 1 provides basic information on the
medical side of endometriosis and how lifestyle factors may impact the disease. Part 2 consists of an
integrative lifestyle plan to manage symptoms and potentially slow or halt endometriosis disease
progression. Part 3 offers a scientifically based diet plan that addresses the many factors associated with the
disease. And Part 4 provides 100 recipes that will help you follow the diet plan.
This book will provide you with the most up-to-date, scientifically based, comprehensive information on
diet, lifestyle and holistic treatment for endometriosis. It will be an invaluable tool in helping to treat and
manage endometriosis. Whether you suffer from endometriosis or have a loved one who does, the advice in
this guide will offer relief and healing.
The authors hope for this book is that it can be a tool in your ever-growing toolbox to help treat and manage
endo. Whether you suffer from it, have a loved one who suffers from it or are a practitioner caring for
women with this disease, our sincere desire is that the information provided in the following pages can serve
as a guide for relief and healing.
