Exploring Endometriosis, Its Drivers and Natural Treatment Options with Dr. G

Endometriosis is a common women's health condition, affecting roughly 11% of women ages 15 - 44. Unfortunately treatment options are limited and the time it takes to receive diagnosis is extensive which means many women suffer for several years before seeking relief. In this episode I interview endometriosis expert, Dr. Alexis Gonzales to discuss endometriosis, its drivers and the natural treatment options available. We discuss how functional medicine can be a life changing treatment approach for women and the many intricacies of treatment. We answer the question: is endometriosis a hormonal issue or an immune system imbalance and how chronic inflammation plays a role in this condition.
