KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Nutrition plays a key role in managing endometriosis symptoms.
- Eliminating foods isn’t always necessary—focus on nutrient-dense whole foods first.
- Alcohol is best avoided for endometriosis due to its impact on hormone metabolism and inflammation.
- Caffeine affects individuals differently, but consuming it in moderation and before noon can help reduce its impact on sleep and anxiety.
- Supplementing with key nutrients like Vitamin D, Zinc, and Omega-3s may support symptom management, but food sources should always be the foundation.
- Protein intake is crucial for blood sugar regulation, hormone production, and overall health.
