Dr. Katz breaks down the systemic load of living with this chronic condition, the psychological toll of multi-year diagnostic delays, and how the unpredictability of flare-ups reshapes intimacy, work, parenting, and everyday life.\nReferenced Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@brutamerica/video/7646491172503948558 \nRecommended Reading Mentioned in this Episode:\n▶️ \"The Way Out\" by Alan Gordon\nSupport Our Guest:\n▶️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlaurakatz/\n▶️ Endometriosis 360: https://endometriosis360.ca/\nConnect With Us:\n▶️ https://linktr.ee/thecaregiverspodcast\nSubscribe to The Caregivers Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts to never miss an episode.
