Dairy and Endo: What You Need to Know

This EndoLife

At the end of last year I released a series on dairy and its possible effects on endo pain, endo belly and hormones, as well as its benefits - as I know so many of you are confused about the topic.

Today, I want to provide you with a summary of these episodes, so you can get the top lines in one place, and then of course you can deep dive into the individual episodes if you need to.

So, a big, BIG disclaimer here in case you haven’t listened to the previous episodes. If you’re vegan, please feel free to skip this episode. This episode is not about being for or against dairy, it’s about providing you with information so you can make an informed decision about whether dairy is right for you. The research is very varied and our reactions to dairy really depend on our own individual genetics, so the key takeaway here is that it’s worth investigating if dairy agrees with you personally before coming to any conclusions.

Of course this series also does not address ethics or environmental considerations with dairy, I am simply focusing on the health side. It goes without saying that choosing ethical and environmentally friendly brands and farms is always preferable where possible, if it is accessible to you, whilst being mindful of our consumption of products that can affect the environment.

So, let’s get into it.
