Reclaim your Life from Endometriosis - The Endometriosis Nutritionist

Endometriosis is not a hormonal disease, as most women and their specialists, assume, but an inflammatory disease.

It is a debilitating disease that can ruin your day, your week, your month. But with a diet that is fully tailored to you, you can reduce your symptoms and lead a normal life.

How many times have you had to cancel plans to spend time with friends or family, or call in sick AGAIN, because you are unable to get out of bed, leave the house or function even remotely normally thanks to your Endometriosis?

With the right way of eating for your disease you are able to reclaim your life from Endometriosis. This 3-month program teaches you how.

"I was unsure about doing the program only because I didn't think I would stick with it. But after seeing and feeling results within a few weeks it motivated me to keep going. And the encouragement from Anne-Marijke helped too.

I've experienced better sleep, energy levels, less bloating, less mid-cycle (where my endo pain was at its worst), shorter periods, increased iron levels and improved thyroid function (bonus!)

I would recommend this program because Anne-Marijke is very supportive and down to earth to discuss anything with and very knowledgeable with her nutrition for endometriosis. I will continue to keep going with the diet plan once the 12 weeks are over, the recipes are yum!" - Kristen W.

When Emma started the program, she suffered from terrible migraines, she had very painful periods and they were very heavy as well. She thought she was already eating quite healthy, but her diet contained a lot of foods that made her endometriosis worse.

After the first month on the program she already noticed that her migraines were less severe and she had them less often. Her period was also getting less heavy.

After the second month, when she had removed some specific foods from her diet, her migraines got even less and her period pain started to reduce as well.

At the end of the 12-week program her migraines have virtually disappeared. Her periods are manageable when it comes to pain, and the bleeding is no longer heavy. And a year since starting the program she's finding it quite easy to keep to her personalised Endometriosis diet and is feeling fantastic.

Natalie joined my Reclaim your Life from Endometriosis program to try and reduce her bloating, get more energy and reduce her anxiety. Besides these symptoms she had period and ovulation pain, eczema, migraines and regular urinary tract infections. She was constipated, but didn’t realise this until later in the program, when the constipation disappeared! She also had severe iron deficiency and was on a supplement that probably made her constipation worse.

After she had a food intolerance test done, we removed the foods she was intolerant to from her diet. That meant she couldn’t have pea and ham soup anymore, one of her favourites, because of an intolerance to peas. Her diet was quite low in protein and fat so I suggested some ideas for high protein foods and sources of healthy fats. I also suggested she start drinking unsweetened cranberry juice to help with the UTIs.

After a month she started to feel more energetic and her bloating had reduced. She still felt quite irritable around her period so we tweaked her diet a bit more to include more sources of B vitamins and other nutrients that help with mood.

Her next period was completely symptom-free and she was finding it much easier to eat more protein.

At the end of her program, her bloating was completely gone, she was happy with how much energy she had and had discovered that caffeine play a big role in her anxiety so she’d cut that out.
