Did you know that a 2012 study found that 75% of women with endometriosis who cut out gluten experienced a significant drop in pain? That’s huge! But why does gluten have such an impact on endo symptoms? 

Today, I’m breaking it all down—why gluten can be a hidden trigger, how even a little can cause inflammation, and why going 100% gluten-free might be one of the best things you can do to support your body. Plus, I’m giving you actionable steps to make the transition easier so you can actually feel better.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Myths vs. truths about gluten and endometriosis

-The connection between endo, your gut, and gluten

-My personal journey of going gluten-free

-A breakdown of the 2012 study on gluten and endo pain

-Why going all in on being gluten-free is so important

-How to go gluten-free in a way that actually supports your body

-The gut-healing support your body needs when making the switch

-Healing isn’t just about cutting out foods—it’s about long-term, sustainable changes that truly support your body. Going gluten-free is just one piece of the puzzle, but it’s a powerful step in managing your symptoms.
