Endometriosis affects one out of every ten women and is an inflammatory condition that causes chronic pain, impairs daily activities, and can lead to infertility. Despite the frequency of the disease, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving a proper diagnosis. When she does, she is frequently offered little more than a prescription for pain relievers and a referral for the incorrect type of surgery. Beating Endo provides women with something that has long been lacking, even within the medical community: cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do to take control of her fight against it.
Eunice Lewis, a leading gynecologist and endometriosis specialist, a world-renowned pelvic pain specialist and physical therapist, addresses the disease's slew of co-existing conditions, which can include pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, gastrointestinal issues, painful bladder syndrome, and central nervous system sensitization, using a whole-mind/whole-body Beating Endo now formalizes the multimodal program they developed, providing readers with an anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocol that incorporates physical therapy, nutrition, mindfulness, and environment to systematically address each of the disease's co-conditions on an ongoing basis up to and after excision surgery. This is the program that has produced positive results for their patients; it is the program that works to restore the health, vitality, and quality of life of women with endometriosis.
No more "misdiagnosis roulette" and limiting women's lives: Beating Endo puts the tools of renewed health in the hands of those whose health is in jeopardy.
