Summary

Hey Heal Squad! Did you know that 10%-15% of women are affected by endometriosis, and the signs can show up as early as age 14? The scary thing is that you might not even realize what’s going on in your body. In this powerful episode, Nicole Russell Wharton—bestselling author, certified trauma-informed healing instructor, mental health expert, and passionate endometriosis advocate—shares her harrowing journey of discovering she was living with this often misdiagnosed condition. Nicole talks about how she navigated the confusing and sometimes painful process of treatment, and why early detection is absolutely crucial. With no cure for endometriosis, and many women being misdiagnosed, Nicole teaches us how to recognize the signs, the importance of getting multiple medical opinions, and how tackling this condition head-on can make a huge difference for both our mental and physical health.
