What's This All About Then??

This blog is especially for women who suffer from endometriosis, but also for anyone seeking inspiration as they journey towards healing.

We (Clara and Ellen) are sisters, and this is our joint project. Ellen has struggled with chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis for close to 15 years. This project is our answer to her pain. We decided that, even if we can't make the pain go away, we would do everything in our power to activate the body's healing mechanisms.

So what exactly is Endo Undo?

It is a year-long quest for wellness. It is about being mindful of the food and drink we put into our bodies and about how we move our bodies. It is about where we rank our own bodies in our list of life priorities (and trying to get ourselves and our overall health back to the top of that list!). It is definitely about trying new things and having fun and building a stronger, deeper, more beautiful bond between sisters. It might even be about the reduction in Ellen's pain symptoms.

Daily News

I get daily updates from Rodale.com in my email inbox--little tidbits about healthy eating, gardening, and living.  Today, the headline, which was "9 Super-Healthy, Vegetarian Protein Sources," seemed so appropriate for our blog.  The list was as follows:


1) Beans & Lentils
2) Nuts & Seeds
3) Chia Seeds
4) Tofu & Tempeh (if you are on the Endo Diet--please avoid #4)
5) Hemp (WONDERFUL for those on the Endo Diet)
6) Eggs
7) Greek Yogurt
8) Avocados
9) Pseudograins (quinoa, millet, amaranth, buckwheat, wild rice)
