Did you know March is National Endometriosis Month?
In this episode, I’m talking about endometriosis, how it can show up, why it often takes way too long to get diagnosed, and what real relief can look like when you stop treating pain like it’s only a “tissue problem.” I’m joined by pelvic physiotherapist Jill Mueller, who shares her personal story, what finally helped her become symptom-free, and how she now helps others through pelvic physio, pain science, and nervous system work.
We also dig into the overlap between endometriosis, interstitial cystitis (IC), and overactive bladder (OAB), including why so many people with endometriosis have bladder symptoms even when endometriosis isn’t actually on the bladder. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this endo, IC, OAB… or all of the above?”, this conversation will help you connect the dots without spiraling.
Topics We Cover
- Why debilitating period pain isn’t “normal,” even if you’ve been told it is
- Fertility struggles as a common path to discovering endometriosis
- The difference between ablation vs excision surgery (and why training matters)
- The evolving role of ultrasound and MRI in diagnosing endometriosis
- Why symptom severity doesn’t always match how much endometriosis is present
- “Cross-sensitization,” and why pelvic organs can start acting like cranky roommates
- How predictable flares can become learned patterns (and how to interrupt them)
- Building a bigger “window of tolerance” so you’re not trapped in rigid rules to stay okay
- Why vacations can flare some people and calm others (and what that suggests)
