• The Latest Advances in Endometriosis Care with guest Dr. Mathew Leonardi

  Welcome to The Egg Whisperer Show! Today’s guest is Dr. Mathew Leonardi, an advanced gynecological surgeon, sonologist, and researcher at McMaster University Medical Center in Hamilton, Canada. He’s also completing his PhD at the University of Sydney, focusing on the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and surgical management of endometriosis. Dr. Leonardi is internationally recognized for his work in gynecological surgery and ultrasound, serves as a Junior Ambassador for the World Endometriosis Society, and contributes to clinical guidelines and editorial boards in reproductive medicine. In this episode, we’re diving into the latest advances in endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and whole-patient care, including research into the microbiome, biomarkers, and alternative management strategies. Here are some of the key questions and topics we cover in this conversation: What it means to self-identify as an “endometriosis expert” and why early, accurate testing is so important How the microbiome of the reproductive tract may influence both endometriosis and infertility Why common biomarkers like CA-125 have limited usefulness, and what new research on VEGF and inflammatory markers may reveal Whether genetic testing could one day help identify susceptibility to endometriosis How complementary strategies like pelvic floor physiotherapy, dietary changes, acupuncture, cannabis, and psychotherapy can support fertility patients living with endometriosis Why advocacy (both self-advocacy in the clinic and public advocacy through research and awareness) is key to advancing care for all patients   Resources: Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

While I can’t cover all scenarios in a single show (or blog post), I do want to recap some of the most common questions I get and answer some specific inquiries that were emailed to me.
