#18: Eat for Endometriosis with Dr Anita Mitra
12th Mar 2019
Today we’re going to be talking with one of my favourites for the podcast - Gynaecologist and lifestyle medicine advocate, Anita Mitra aka the Gynae Geek - who returns to the podcast, this time to discuss Endometriosis.
Essentially, Anita is the gynaecologist and women’s health specialist that everyone wishes they had - she is an absolute wealth of information.
In today’s episode we talk about the following
- What Endometriosis actually is
- Why to avoid treatments like colonic irrigation
- The importance of drinking water and eating fibre in your diet
- The importance of Oestrogen in your body
- What is Oestrogen dominance
- The importance of exercise
- Why fruit can be one of the best things to include in your diet
If I could recommend one recipe to sum up today’s episode it would be the Greek Style Giant Beans which is going to be in my new book - Eat to Beat Illness- out on 21st March. This recipe is absolutely delicious - it’s Greek style, there’s lots of greens in there, plus lots of beans, all in a delicious mediterranean style tomato sauce and super easy to make.
