In order to diagnose it, the doctor said they\u2019d need to do an invasive procedure called a laparoscoppy. It\u2019s a keyhole surgery where doctors look for endometrial tissue on the exterior wall of the uterus, and remove any they find. The doctor thought I likely didn\u2019t have it\u2014but if I wanted to double-check, they could move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Lo and behold, I had the procedure, and I was diagnosed with endometriosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the surgery, I experienced relief for about six months. But then the symptoms came back. Around the same time, I had begun experimenting with taking medical cannabis to help with my seizures. About a year into weaning off my epilepsy medication, I noticed some of my endometriosis pains were improving, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, I decided from that point to try to take things into my own hands a bit more, and test out how certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/endometriosis-and-blood-sugar-diet\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/endometriosis-and-blood-sugar-diet\" rel=\"noopener\">lifestyle interventions<\/a> might impact my symptoms. I began to lean into acupuncture, herbs, and yoga. I also began using cannabinoids internally. As a result, I started to experience profound relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019d be lying if I said my symptoms completely vanished and I don\u2019t have endometriosis anymore. But, I will say things have improved dramatically. If I was experiencing pain at a 10 before, I\u2019m now closer to a 4\u2014all thanks to natural interventions including nutrition, stress management, meditation, yoga, TCM, and using cannabis in many forms. I also learned so much about hormonal health, and how much my choices impacted my menstrual cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was actually that realization that was the catalyst for starting <a href=\"https:\/\/looni.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/looni.co\/\">Looni<\/a>, my menstrual health and wellness company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years later, when I was 27, the OB\/GYN I\u2019d been seeing said to me: You might have this condition called endometriosis.
