New Online Class Explains How a Plant-Based Diet Helped Katherine Fight Endometriosis
Katherine was an Air Force engineer who suffered with endometriosis.
She was in constant pain and her doctor recommended a hysterectomy. But a simple diet change cured her endometriosis. Katherine is now is pain-free and has three children.
Endometriosis can be painful and frustrating, and it can lead to the use of medications and surgical procedures that do not solve the problem. New evidence suggests that diet changes can have a powerful effect on endometriosis. High-fat foods, like ice cream and cheese, increase estrogens, while high-fiber foods reduce it.
