Philosophy of Endometriosis Care:

We value patient-centered care, meaning that we are here to support the decisions that are best for you rather than the decisions others may think are best. We know living with endo is exhausting and excruciating, and you don’t need to go at it alone. We are a weight-inclusive and HAES® aligned practice, meaning we’re here to help better your relationship with food and your body. We also specialize in eating disorder recovery.

How can the right diet help an endometriosis patient?

We know that gentle nutrition may be helpful in managing endo symptoms. Hot take: we also know food isn’t the end-all-be-all to heal your endo. We’re here to help alleviate GI symptoms while also supporting you in other ways that you may need (ie. advocating for you when you go to the doctor).

Philosophy of  Endometriosis Care:

I’m a registered dietitian who specializes in endometriosis symptom management and fertility nutrition. My passion is helping people with endometriosis find freedom with food so that they can improve their symptoms to live their best lives. I help patients discover what foods trigger or improve their symptoms, lifestyle interventions that reduce stress and improve quality of life, and how to navigate evidence-based approaches for endometriosis management. I also help patients struggling with weight changes (weight gain or loss) through non-restrictive nutrition interventions practiced in intuitive eating.

How can the right diet help an endometriosis patient?

The right diet can’t cure endometriosis, but it can help improve symptoms. Diet can improve bowel-related symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. It can also help patients who have symptoms of SIBO. Working with a dietitian can help people who are navigating a trial of a gluten-free or low-FODMAP diet and help determine if those restrictions are helping them. The research points to an anti-inflammatory diet, rich in omega-3s and low in trans-fats and inflammatory foods, as the best approach for improving endometriosis symptoms.

Philosophy of care for endometriosis patients:

Our philosophy at The Dietologist is all about finding each person’s unique blueprint when it comes to their diet and lifestyle that can help improve their daily life, reduce their endometriosis-related pain, improve their gastrointestinal function, and optimize current or future fertility (if desired). We have a philosophy of person-centered care based on the latest science, collaborating with multi-disciplinary team members for optimized and coordinated care, as well as approaching nutrition in a non-perfectionistic and flexible way! No unnecessary strict elimination diet protocols that make you feel bad about yourself for “slipping up”, we want you to experience maximum flexibility with your nutrition so you can live life how you want to, with minimum symptoms getting in the way!
How can the right diet help an endometriosis patient?

The right diet for an individual can help correct common nutrient deficiencies – iron, B12, vitamin D, calcium

identify and navigate food intolerances (more common in those with endometriosis) with as little restriction as possible
adopt anti-inflammatory dietary patterns to manage pain and chronic inflammatory symptoms associated with endometriosis
nutritional strategies to help with constipation, diarrhoea, and bloating as well as IBS (judicious use of the low FODMAP diet as required)
design bespoke supplementation plans to support dietary intake as well as endometriosis symptoms. Supportive nutrition strategies for individuals and couples trying to conceive (assisted or unassisted) – including optimizing egg quality before IVF, conception, or egg freezing, supporting sperm quality, and enhancing implantation using evidence-based nutrition strategies.
