1.) Bring balance to the immune system! There is a strong connection between endometriosis and impaired immunity. Research suggests there is an autoimmune component. The microbiome or gut bacteria plays a HUGE role in immunity! You can start balancing by practicing the following tips below.
2.) Follow a nutritious meal plan, rotating the diet while eliminating gluten, dairy, processed sugar. Consume low-moderate healthy fats including EFA’s, low-moderate clean protein sources (avoid red meat), and consume plenty of functional fibers through complex carbs such as veggies and healthy grains. Avoid anything packaged, processed, or hormone disrupters such as (plastics, detergents, aluminum, PCB’s).
3.) Practice moderate exercise such as walking, yoga, and healthy balance of cardio and resistance training.
