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.

Recipe: Easy Fruit Smoothie

I've been eating this delicious smoothie for breakfast every day this week.. it's so good, and so quick to make.   You can use the recipe as is, or substitute different fruits.

1/3 c. frozen raspberries
1/3 c. frozen blueberries
1/3 c. frozen pineapple (no sugar added)
1/3 c. goat yogurt
2 drops liquid stevia
2 teaspoons ground flax seed
Almond or hemp milk, to desired consistency

Blend everything in a food processor or blender.  Yum!
Check out the endometriosis diet guidelines as a refresher.

      Where do you live? I thought most natural grocery stores carried it, but I guess it depends on where you are. I live in San Fran Bay Area, and we get a few brands-- the most common is called Redwood Hill Farms. It is a little more expensive than regular yogurt, though.
      If you can't find it in the yogurt section of the natural grocery, try a farmers' market-- maybe there is a local goat farmer who does small batches of yogurt??
