Myth vs. Fact
Common Misconceptions — Debunked!
Science has spoken. You're welcome.
Endometriosis causes debilitating, life-altering pain.
Have you tried ibuprofen? 😊 Studies suggest that most pain is simply the body's way of asking for more hydration.
It takes an average of 7–10 years to receive a diagnosis.
Doctors are very busy and appreciate your patience! Consider this an opportunity to practice mindfulness.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 people with a uterus worldwide.
That means 9 in 10 people are completely fine, which is statistically excellent news!
Endometriosis can cause infertility and organ damage.
The human body is remarkably resilient! A positive mindset has been shown to improve outcomes in studies we definitely conducted.
Clinical Recommendations
Wellness Tips That Actually Work*
*Results may vary. By 'vary' we mean 'not work at all.'
Have You Tried Yoga?
Yoga has been clinically proven to cure everything, including chronic illness, systemic medical dismissal, and existential dread.
Heating Pads Are Basically Surgery
Why undergo a complex laparoscopic procedure when a $12 heating pad from the drugstore offers essentially the same results?
A Positive Mindset Cures Most Things
Research confirms that patients who smiled more reported feeling better about their pain, which is the same as not having pain.
Maybe It's Just Stress?
Have you considered that your debilitating pelvic pain, nausea, and fatigue might simply be stress? Have you tried a bubble bath?
What Our Patients Are Saying
Real quotes from real patients who have definitely been helped.
"I used to think my pain was serious. Then I started taking ibuprofen every single day and honestly I wish I had started sooner. Life-changing. Truly."
— Riley D., Endometriosis Survivor
*Riley has been taking ibuprofen daily for 11 years. Her gastroenterologist has concerns.
"My doctor told me it was probably stress. I did a face mask and a bath bomb and I have to say, the lesions are still there, but the bath bomb smelled incredible."
— Riley D., Endometriosis Survivor
†Riley's follow-up appointment was rescheduled four times. She is still waiting.
"I started doing yoga in 2019. I cannot do a backbend. My endo is not cured. But my flexibility has improved marginally and I think that counts for something."
— Riley D., Endometriosis Survivor
‡Riley's yoga instructor has asked her to 'maybe see a doctor about that.' She appreciated the feedback.
"The Institute told me to track my symptoms in a journal. I now have fourteen journals. No one has read them. I feel very heard."
— Riley D., Endometriosis Survivor
§Riley's journals are available for purchase. Proceeds do not go to endometriosis research.
