Endometriosis is a b*tch! Around 1.5 million women are currently living in the UK with the condition and we know so little about it but Daisy and I are here to change that!

Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. These cells react to the menstrual cycle each month and also bleed but there is often no way for the blood to leave the body which causes inflammation, pain and the formation of scar tissue. With the right treatment, Endometriosis can be managed.

In this episode, Daisy opens up by sharing her story of living with Endometriosis.

Here is a little bit about Daisy -

Daisy is an advocate and expert in managing endometriosis and other chronic health conditions. With years of experience and a deep commitment to root cause healing which began after her own health and endo journey, Daisy made a commitment to support other women to take their health and healing into their own hands.

Daisy shares valuable insights and strategies for overcoming endo and living a full life

Our prolapse journey may not be the same but that doesn't matter. What matters is the knowing that you aren't alone which is why it is important that we share our stories.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting to Louise from Adore Your Pelvic Floor who shares her experience from both a personal and professional side.

Here is a little bit about Louise.

'I am a mum to 5 amazing boys – through all the chaos I count my blessings every day.

Eighteen months after my twins were born I experienced a bladder and bowel prolapse resulting in surgery. This impacted my job role, daily lifestyle, and intimacy.

As a fitness professional, I was surprised at how little information was available to support me, so my mission was upskill in pelvic health to enable to support my clientele. Speaking to many women, men, doctors, and I worked closely with Specialist Pelvic Health Physios across the UK and abroad.

This is why I have set up Adore Your Pelvic Floor where I now present training to Fitness and Health Professionals.

The world of weight loss and nutrition can be complicated. There is so much information out there, it can be difficult to know what we should be doing without feeling restricted or guilty for eating the food that we enjoy.

Diets are BORING!!
Wouldn’t it be nice to move away from them for good?!

My name is Nikki Clarke and I coach women who have been dieting their whole life to finally break the cycle.

To move away from feeling lethargic

To a place where you feel amazing

Where you are fit, strong and healthy and have tonnes of energy and focus every day
Where you can perform to your best ability at work and show up as the best version of you for loved ones
Where you stop letting food and diets dominate your life

Where you become “Your Best You”

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Andrea the Period Acupuncturist. Here we unravel the layers of the taboo and explore the importance of open and honest conversations about menstruation, a natural process of the female body.

This episode is a reminder that periods shouldn't be just a topic for whispers, but a conversation worthy of the spotlight. Periods needs to be celebrated!

Here's a bit about Andrea

Andrea Dewhurst is The Period Acupuncturist

Andrea is a specialist in period and fertility health helping women across Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire navigate their menstrual health from puberty through to post-menopause.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Kelly the founder of NIXI Body, washable, absorbent and very discreet underwear for periods and little bladder leaks.

Like me you have probably heard about leak proof underwear, maybe even considered paying them but aren't sure if they are for you or not. This episode is going to change that as Kelly is here to explain everything you need to about her leak proof knickers.

Here is a little bit about Kelly.
After suffering for years with endometriosis, she had to have a hysterectomy in 2014 and subsequently started the menopause. One of her first symptoms was stress incontinence which lead her to design her very discreet, absorbent knickers.
