• 110. From Patient to Advocate: Nicole’s Mission to Make Endo Surgery Accessible

  Nicole joins us from New Jersey to share her powerful, decade-long journey with endometriosis—a story marked by misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and unrelenting pain. Labeled with everything from IBS to anxiety, Nicole saw countless doctors across multiple specialties, yet none could give her the answers she desperately needed. It wasn’t until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn’t properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won’t have to suffer the way she did.Follow Nicole’s work and advocacy:🌐 Website: endoexcisionforall.org📲 Instagram: @endoexcisionforallFollow for clips of the show or DM us: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thecycle.endopodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thecycleendopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you for listening to and supporting this podcast.

• 109.Daily Pain from Endometriosis: Ren’s Fight to Be Heard

  In this episode, Ren joins us from Chicago to share her journey with chronic pain that began in early childhood. From daily stomach issues and struggles with eating to feeling misunderstood by friends, Ren opens up about what it’s like to live with an invisible illness. Her pain was dismissed until a ruptured ovarian cyst landed her in the ER and even then, answers didn’t come easily. Ren also experienced fainting episodes that added to the fear and confusion of not knowing what was happening in her body. Her story is raw, relatable, and a powerful reminder that being young doesn’t mean being healthy.Follow for clips of the show or DM us: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thecycle.endopodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thecycleendopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you for listening to and supporting this podcast.

  Apologies for the technical difficulties on this episode! Joining us all the way from Australia, today’s guest Em shares her deeply personal and powerful story of living with symptoms doctors couldn’t (or wouldn’t) connect. Despite a clear family history of endometriosis, her path to diagnosis was long and frustrating. We also chat about genetic blood testing and how that can be very helpful.
