ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
Treatment for pelvic pain conditions don’t just have to stop at medication and surgery. Movement, sleep, nutrition and mindfulness can all have a powerful impact on an individual's experience and are now being recommended more frequently by healthcare professionals.
In this two-part episode, we speak with naturopath Freya Lawler, who specialises in complex reproductive health, endometriosis and IVF optimisation. Freya shares evidence-based advice on how someone living with pelvic pain can make small changes in their daily lives to make long-term improvements to their experiences of pain and overall wellbeing. In part one, Freya introduces the impact of lifestyle changes and focuses on the important roles that sleep and nutrition play.
Tune into this episode and the rest of the season to find out more and feel more empowered about your own health and wellbeing.
