Questions I'm always ready to answer :

Is there actually an evidence-based “endometriosis diet,” or are women unnecessarily cutting out gluten, dairy, carbs, and half their diet?
Your blood work is “normal,” but you’re tired, bloated, craving sugar, and struggling with your weight—what could be getting missed?

Are microbiome, stool, and food-sensitivity tests worth the money—and what can these tests actually tell you versus what they can’t?
After years in biomedical research and living with PCOS and endometriosis yourself, what changed the way you think about women’s health, nutrition, and treating symptoms in isolation?
