Acupuncture and nutrition in endometriosis with special guest Louise Bennett

It's EndoMarch and Katie and Jess wanted to do their part in spreading awareness of what can be an incredibly debilitating condition & something they see often in clinic, endometriosis. With 1 in 10 women experiencing the symptoms associated with endometriosis and it taking up to 10 years before official diagnosis, women are suffering more than they need to.In this episode of The Nourished Wrap Katie and Jess feature special guest, acupuncturist and owner of Balance Acupuncture Louise Bennett who has a special interest in treating women's health issues, such as endometriosis. The three ladies delve into what endometriosis is, signs and symptoms, potential causes, nutritional therapy that can support endo and all about the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach that can also support these women.What we learn is that acupuncture provides several benefits to endometriosis sufferers on many different levels and is also an excellent complement to nutritional therapy and vice versa (and not just with endo but all hormonal imbalance). We hope you enjoy this podcast spreading awareness and offering support on a very common women's health disorder.You can find out more about Louise through her Facebook page hereFurther reading -www.endomarchaustralia.org.au/what-is-the-endomarchBacterial influences in endometriosis - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/rmb2.12083Endometriosis and auto immunity - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/aji.13095Inflammation and endometriosis pain - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043276014001866Nutrition & endometriosis - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tommaso_Occhiali/publication/325092608_Endometriosis_and_food_habits_Can_diet_make_the_difference/links/5b51a14845851507a7b25954/Endometriosis-and-food-habits-Can-diet-make-the-difference.pdf?origin=publication_detailGluten free in endometriosis - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23334113/Acupuncture in endometriosis - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0186616

Om Podcasten

Welcome to The Happy Apple Podcast, bought to you by me, Katie King aka The Balanced Nutritionist. I live in Brisbane, Australia, but I work via telehealth so I reach people all around Australia and occasionally abroad.The Happy Apple podcast drops monthly, covering a wide variety of health topics but we ALWAYS try to keep the conversation positive and happy. Food should not be a source of stress.... it can be BOTH nutritious and delicious at the same time. I'm here to remind you that healthy food is fun and exciting and its ok to have an apple in one hand and the occasional croissant in the other! We rebranded this podcast in early 2021, so some of the older episodes will be under the old title 'The Nourished Wrap' - all of the episodes are worth listening too, in my opinion.To access my services, you can visit my website. I have a number of different online courses you can do from your own home or you can book a consultation with me. I also offer workplace solutions for corporate wellness.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show.
