Ep. 79: Is Excision Surgery Necessary for Endometriosis?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest questions women with endometriosis face: do you actually need surgery?

I’m discussing the differences between excision and ablation, when surgery can be life-changing, and when deeper healing work may be just as important. I also share my personal experience with excision surgery and why addressing root causes like gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and nervous system regulation is essential, whether you’ve had surgery or not.

This episode will help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and take a more complete approach to healing endometriosis so you can reduce pain, support fertility, and reclaim your quality of life.
