“I have the answers that I need to get me to a place where i can finally be comfortable with myself. I don’t even know what that’s going to feel like. I am so excited, but I truly don’t know what that’s going to feel like because it’s been so long.”
Steph’s story is one of resilience—a woman who refused to accept “normal” when her body was screaming for help.
At 15, she was prescribed birth control for PMS and irregular periods. While it regulated her cycle, the heavy bleeding and debilitating cramps never stopped. Doctors told her, “It’s just part of being a woman.” Believing the pain was normal, she pushed through.
By her 30s, her symptoms became unbearable. Super heavy periods, relentless cramping, and a gut feeling that something was wrong led her to do her own research. She suspected endometriosis—a condition barely discussed at the time.
After advocating for herself, she found an OB/GYN who listened. An ultrasound confirmed extensive endometrial tissue in her pelvis. Her doctor, an endometriosis specialist, asked a question that stuck with her: “How have you been living like this?”
An IUD offered temporary relief, stopping her periods and easing her pain. But in 2018, endometriosis struck again—this time, strangling her bowels. After a year of blood in her stool and chronic diarrhea, surgery saved her from a life-threatening rupture.
In 2022, a new struggle began. Despite no changes to her lifestyle, Steph suddenly gained 50 pounds. She worked with a dietitian, counted macros, and did everything “right,” but her weight wouldn’t budge. Small losses were followed by frustrating regains, leaving her stuck in a body that didn’t feel like hers.
By June 2024, Steph reached out to me. Her endo was under control, but the weight gain and diarrhea persisted. We began a gut-healing protocol: temporarily removing gluten, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and red meat while adding enzymes, probiotics, and natural anti-inflammatories.
Within 12 weeks, her diarrhea resolved, inflammation subsided, and she lost 14 pounds. Her energy improved, and her body began to heal.
Hormone testing revealed adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance—key drivers of her symptoms. With a targeted plan to restore balance, Steph is reclaiming her health, her confidence, and her life.
Her story shows that healing is possible with the right support. Advocate for yourself—you deserve answers, and you deserve to thrive.
