Hi friend!
Endometriosis is more than a narrowly defined menstrual disorder. It exists outside of someone’s period and has a range of symptoms beyond only pelvic pain.
Anyone living with it will tell you that, more often than not, it’s defined by a host of seemingly unrelated symptoms that are actually really, really related.
One symptom that often comes up in someone’s “Is this connected to endometriosis?” search is excessive hair loss. We investigated why these two might be connected!

The Latest You'll Love: Prediabtes? Healthy Eating Is Your Power Move
Even when you think you’re doing everything right — exercising regularly, trying to eat well, and maintaining a healthy weight — you can still get hit with something unexpected like prediabetes.
If this sounds familiar, here's the good news: prediabetes is reversible. And with the right knowledge about healthy eating and some simple changes, you can get back on track and prevent it from getting worse.
Your new BFFF (best friend forever, fiber)
Adding fiber to your diet helps prevent spikes in blood glucose levels by slowing down the absorption of sugar in your bloodstream. Some foods high in fiber are vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and nuts — aim to include these in your meals and snacks throughout the day.
Protein is essential
Not only can protein help build and repair tissues in your body, it can also help you feel fuller for longer. Add protein sources like chicken, fish, tofu, eggs, and low-fat dairy products to your grocery list. They’ll give you the nutrients you need without those unhealthy saturated fats that can make it harder for your body to manage blood sugar.
Healthy fats, please!
Not all fats are created equal. Did you know healthy fats, like those found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, can actually help keep your blood sugar levels in check? They also contribute to that satisfied feeling after eating, which can help you avoid eating too much.
Keep an eye on those carbs
Carbohydrates have the biggest impact on your blood sugar, but that doesn't mean you should ditch them completely. Instead, go for complex carbs high in fiber and nutrients — think whole grains, beans, and veggies.
