Getting proper nutrition for endometriosis is a huge step in the healing process. But with all the misleading information out there, knowing what to eat and how to get all the nutrients you need can feel overwhelming. Eating for endometriosis isn’t about following one perfect diet that works for everyone. Instead, it’s about creating a diet that works best for your unique body as an endo warrior.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the top six nutrients studies have shown to be effective for endometriosis. I’ll share what these nutrients do, how they support healing, and how to focus your diet around them to feel your best.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Busting myths about nutrition and endometriosis.

-The Top 6 Nutrients to focus on, including:

1. Antioxidants – What they are, how they reduce inflammation, and the best food sources.

2. Omega-3s – Their anti-inflammatory benefits, how they impact endometriosis, and where to find them in your diet.

3. Vitamin D – Why it’s essential, signs of deficiency, and how to safely get enough (without overdoing it!).

4. Magnesium – The connection between magnesium and pain relief, the best food sources, and deficiency signs.

5. Iron – Why it’s critical for energy and recovery, and the best dietary sources.

6. Zinc – How it supports immune function, wound healing, and hormonal balance, plus the signs of deficiency or excess.

I always recommend a food-first approach when it comes to getting your nutrients. Supplements can be helpful, but they’re meant to be just that—supplements. A nutrient-dense diet is the foundation for healing.
