Her name was Alexis
A woman named Alexis reached out to me the other day. She wanted to learn about lifestyle changes she could make that would improve her hormonal balance. I looked through her chart and found this woman has endometriosis too. I was taken aback. She too was in her 30’s
“A white woman’s disease”
It has been said that endometriosis is “a white woman’s disease.” The disease of a white woman that is single, has no children, and with a career. You know why? Because it is a white woman who would be able to afford to be treated. I recently watched a documentary on endometriosis and a doctor bashfully admitted this is a phrase doctors would haphazardly throw around in the 70’s.
