hi ladies, I've just been wondering what do you think about this study published yesterday (link below) linking endo to increased chances of having heart issues?

Mary Lou Ballweg of the Endometriosis Association published an article in response to this study.  Her assessment is that as endometriosis is a whole body inflammatory disease, this could include a link to heart disease along with other conditions. The approach to treatment doesn't change - along with excision surgery, the whole body approach which includes an anti-inflammatory diet, finding and avoiding food sensitivities, including supplements that are anti-oxidant and counter inflammation, exercise, stress management, and having a healthy lifestyle and chemical free living environment all work to prevent runaway inflammation and pain.  I totally agree with her from my own training in nutrition and women's health.
