Gut issues and endometriosis seem to go hand in hand—but why? Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, painful bowel movements, and the infamous “endo belly” are incredibly common complaints among those living with endometriosis. In this episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan take a closer look at the connection between endometriosis and gut health — and what you can do to better support your digestive system. We're breaking down how endometriosis can affect the gut, why so many people with endo experience GI symptoms, and the complex relationship between inflammation, hormones, the gut microbiome, and digestive health. Then, we're getting practical. We share some of the nutrition, lifestyle, and everyday habits that may help support a healthier gut—without restrictive diets, fear around food, or the idea that there's one perfect “endo diet.” PLUS, we're officially launching our brand-new Gut Healing Guide!  We created this guide to take the conversation beyond the episode and give you a practical resource you can come back to again and again, with information, tools, and actionable ways to start supporting your gut in everyday life.

Living with chronic illness can test more than your body — it can test your faith. What happens when you've prayed for healing, prayed for answers, prayed for the pain to stop... and nothing seems to change? How do you hold onto faith when you're angry, exhausted, confused, or wondering why this is happening to you? In this deeply personal episode of The Endo Edit, Katie and Ragan open up about how living with endometriosis has impacted their individual relationships with faith. They share the seasons when their struggles brought them closer to God, the seasons when they felt distant or questioned what they believed, and how years of pain, unanswered questions, and uncertainty have ultimately shaped the way they view faith today. They talk honestly about the complicated emotions that can coexist with chronic illness — gratitude and grief, hope and frustration, belief and doubt — and why struggling with your faith doesn't necessarily mean you've lost it. This isn't a conversation about having all the answers or telling you what to believe. It's simply an honest look at two personal faith journeys through chronic illness and the lessons they've learned along the way. Whether your faith has grown stronger through your health journey, you've struggled with it, you've stepped away from it entirely, or you're still figuring out what you believe, we hope you'll feel welcome in this conversation.  #endometroisis #womendiagnosisstories #endometriosisawareness #womenshealthpodcast #womenshealthstories #womenswellnessstories #endometriosispodcast #endometriosiscommunity #endometriosiswarrior #EndoWarrior #TheEndoEdit #endocommunity #endometriosissupport #faith #christian #christianity #cathlic #catholicism #faithandillness

A major shift is happening in women's health: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has just recently been renamed PMOS (PolyMetabolic Ovary Syndrome) to better reflect what research has increasingly shown — that the condition extends far beyond the ovaries and is deeply connected to metabolic health.
