Manage episode 478420573 series 2573669
One in ten women have endometriosis, yet most aren’t diagnosed until they’re struggling to get pregnant or can no longer live with the pain. In this episode, Ellen Scanlon shares her personal story of navigating pain, infertility, and finally a diagnosis of endometriosis with biotech entrepreneur Caitlyn Krebs, CEO of Nalu Bio. They talk about this chronic and often invisible disease and what the future of treatment could look like. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or misunderstood when it comes to period pain or infertility, this episode is for you.
We cover:
- What endometriosis actually is and why diagnosis takes so long
- How cannabis and the endocannabinoid system are offering real relief
- Ellen’s personal story navigating pain, infertility, and finally a diagnosis
- The future of non-hormonal, non-opioid treatments for endo warriors
