What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is when excess endometrium lining of the uterus that normally grows in preparation for the implanting of the egg begins, does not completely shed during menstruation. It then begins to attach to other places of the body besides the uterus. When menses comes not only does the lining in the uterus bleed the endometriosis that has grown in other places of the body also bleeds. Some of the symptoms are:
-Heavy menstruation with pain, large clots, long or abnormal length of cycles
-Pain all month long
-Ovarian swelling
The risk for benign uterine fibroids also increases. Endometriosis can have a huge impact on your fertility, being blamed for 35-50% of fertility issues in women. This is two to three times the rate of infertility in the general population.
What Causes Endometriosis?
Doctors and Scientist don’t really know for sure but some risk factors are:
Too much estrogen/too little progesterone
Too much conventional meat
Radiation and EMF’s
An abnormality in the immune system
How Does Endometriosis Effect Infertility?
Endometriosis is an estrogen dominant condition. When there are too much estrogen in the system, it causes hormonal imbalance. Proper hormonal balance is essential for healthy fertility.
Endometriosis also creates a situation of “congestion” where there are excess tissues growing in the uterus (as well as other areas of the body) which makes it harder for an embryo to attach and grow healthy.
Every month the excess tissues bleed which cause inflammation to occur and scar tissue to begin adhering to uterus, fallopian tubes, the ovaries, and other organs. This causes some serious “congestion”.
As if that was not enough some researchers suggest that the woman’s body may form antibodies against the misplaced endometrial tissue. The same antibodies may attack the uterine lining and cause miscarriages (up to three times the normal rate).
Natural Therapies for Endometriosis Infertility
Lifestyle changes are some of the most effective ways to help with endometriosis. These would be changing your diet, clearing out old tissues and congestion, balancing your hormones, and avoiding certain pollutants.
Step 1: Prepare your body with a cleanse
Doing a Fertility Cleanse is really important if you have endometriosis. There is old blood and tissues that need to be cleared out of the body.
A fertility Cleanse also aids the liver in removing excess estrogens from your system.
Step 2: Fertility Enzyme Therapy
Fertility Enzyme Therapy is one of the best and most effective natural treatments for endometriosis. Specific enzymes can reduce the scar tissue and digest the excess tissues left from endometriosis.
Fertility Enzyme Therapy also aids women who have endometriosis by reducing the inflammation caused from the scar tissue irritating the surrounding organs and may help with the pain that sometimes comes from having endometriosis.
The blood cleansing actions of this therapy help to bring proper circulation to the reproductive system and get the “stagnant blood” cleared out, bringing fresh oxygenated blood to your uterus and ovaries.
It is best to start the Fertility Enzyme Therapy with The Fertility Cleanse. For endometriosis you will want to stay on the Fertility Enzyme Therapy for many months so all of the stagnant tissues and scar tissues can be cleared.
Step 3: Eat a nutrient dense fertility diet
. Your main focus and one of the first things you should do right now is eating more fiber. Fiber helps the body to get rid of excess estrogens.
Some good sources of fiber are:
Dark leafy greens
Broccoli
Swiss chard
Quinoa
Chia seeds
Ezekial bread products
In addition make sure to eat a diet high in essential fatty acids. EFA’s, specifically omega 3’s, reduce inflammation in the body which will help to lesson the pain that endometriosis can cause.

Endometriosis Smoothie
This smoothie was created so taking your supplements would be easy.
The pineapple and papaya in this smoothie are anti-inflammatory which will help to dissolve abnormal tissues. You can usually find the pineapple, papaya, and mango frozen.
The chia seeds and coconut flakes serve as extra fiber to help remove excess estrogens from the body.
Bee Propolis - In a recent study, women with endometriosis have a 60% greater chance of getting pregnant than the women who take nothing. Take 500 mg twice a day of bee propolis.

1/4 C. Pineapple
1/4 C. Papaya
1/4 C. Mango
2 scoops True Whey protein powder
1 T. chia seeds
1/4 tsp. Bee Propolis (equivalent to 500mg)
1 T. Coconut flakes (dried)
1.4 C. -3/4 C. water or juice of choice (I love the pineapple coconut juice from Knudsen’s) fresh squeezed orange juice goes great!
Blend and enjoy!

Step 4: Build a healthy foundation.
To begin you will want to build a healthy foundation for your fertility by creating a baby-friendly-body.
Get on a prenatal multivitamin. Prenatal multivitamins have the nutrients that you need before and during your pregnancy.
My favorite prenatal vitamin is MegaFood Baby and Me. It is the only 100% whole food multivitamin/prenatal.
Herbs and Supplements for Endometriosis
Herbs and supplements can be very helpful for women with endometriosis. Many of these natural therapies support the body in eliminating excess hormones, endometrial tissues, inflammation, while promoting the reduction in endometrial growth.
Progesterone
If you have endometriosis, Dr. John Lee recommends using progesterone from days 8 to 26 of your cycle, to reduce the effects of estrogen on the body (estrogen stimulates endometrial growth). Take a short week off to refresh your receptor sites. He has had success with this controlling symptoms within six months. Once the outbreaks of endometriosis are tolerable reduce the usage to days 12 till menstrual cycle.
DIM
DIM balances the hormones by breaking down estrogen and removing it from the body. Endometriosis is an estrogen dominant condition. By cleansing the body of excess estrogens should cause the endometrial tissues to stop growing.
Zymessence
Zymessence helps to dissolve endometrial tissue growing outside of the uterus by removing fibrin buildup and increases circulation to the reproductive system. Zymessence contains an important enzyme specific for dissolving endometrial tissues and aiding in congesting conditions like those that are present when someone has endometriosis. Take 1 capsule 3 times a day between meals.
Women’s Best Friend
Women’s Best Friend takes down pain and swelling caused from endometriosis so you start feeling better right away. Women’s Best Friend goes to the source of the problem, helping to reduce excess estrogen that fuels abnormal growths, and stimulating liver activity for improved estrogen
metabolism. It works with your body’s natural detoxification processes to clear congested endometrial tissues while reducing symptoms like abnormal bleeding.
Additional Supplements that are helpful for endometriosis…
Baby and Me Prenatal Multivitamin
A major part of increasing egg health and preparing the uterine lining is to take a prenatal multivitamin. Making sure your body has all of the nutrients necessary is a lot easier when you are taking a multivitamin. My favorite is the 100% whole food Baby and Me from Mega Food. Synthetic multivitamins won?t have the same effect.
Pycnogenol: Pycnogenol is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to help women with endometriosis, improve egg health, and increase sperm health. Pycnogenol is a therapeutic alternative to Gn-RHa in the treatment of endometriosis.
Maca: Maca is an incredible fertility super food. It helps to balance the hormones, but does not contain any hormones itself. It is able to do this by nourishing and balancing the endocrine system. This is essential in preparing for women with endometriosis because healthy hormonal balance contributes to healthy fertility.
