Today, we're talking about something that's often misunderstood but so critical to our well-being—endometriosis. I'm bringing on the powerhouse, Dr. L.J., the holistic hormone expert who's all about helping us understand our bodies better. Dr. L.J. shares her personal journey of battling endometriosis for 16 years before finally getting a proper diagnosis. Sis, it's not just about painful periods—it's chronic, systemic inflammation that affects your entire body. We dive into why black women are often misdiagnosed, the disparities in healthcare, and the importance of advocating for yourself. Dr. L.J. breaks down what endometriosis really is, why it's so often missed, and how you can stand up for your health in a system that's not always on our side. Plus, we talk about the importance of holistic health, functional medicine, and why simply managing symptoms isn't enough—we need to thrive! This episode is packed with truth bombs and real talk about what it means to live well and why we need to stop playing with our health. Tune in and take notes, because this is the info we all need to hear!
