Lara Briden - The Period Revolutionary
Leading the change to better periods and hormones
Endometriosis is a disease of immune dysfunction that is affected by estrogen. Conventionally, it is treated with surgical removal of the lesions and suppression of the menstrual cycle. The lifestyle approach is to address a possible underlying problem with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination and to modulate immune function with nutrients such as zinc and selenium.
You’re ready. You suspect hormonal birth control is no longer right for your body, and you have a sinking feeling it never was.
Of course, you have questions about the process of coming off birth control. What will happen to your skin? Will you get your period? Which natural treatments can you use to make it all go as smoothly as possible?
A change is coming for endometriosis treatment. Until now, the clinical approach has been surgery followed by hormonal suppression with hormonal birth control or other drugs. Going forward, the approach will shift to anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating treatments. That’s because there is growing evidence that endometriosis is not primarily a hormonal condition. It is autoimmune.
