Viewing Endometriosis As A Uniquely Traumatic Condition

with podcast guest

Kat Smith

share

Kat Smith is a former secondary school teacher who retrained in nutrition and biomedicine to help herself after spending 15 years with endometriosis and enduring four surgeries. After working with hundreds of endo sufferers and seeing how many of them struggle with crippling overwhelm and extreme food fear, she developed the endoplan method that provides structure, strategy, and support. Kat’s passion is empowering women with the mindset and nervous system work which has long been the missing piece of endometriosis management.

In this episode, we talk about Kat’s journey with endometriosis, what makes endo a uniquely traumatic condition, how trauma manifests in the body, why mindset and nervous system work are crucial to endo management, and so much more! Kat really opened my eyes and I think you will learn a ton too, regardless of whether you have endometriosis or not.
