This book is the most up-to-date, scientifically based research and integrative treatment for counseling women with endometriosis we could find. The two authors, Dr. Andrew Cook, MD, and Danielle Cook, MS, RDN, CDCES are experts in this topic and specialize in women’s health. The book begins with the physiology and contributing factors for developing endometriosis, then they offer a lifestyle plan to slow or halt the disease, and end with a focus on food and reducing inflammation. Excellent book for nutrition counselors.

Quotes:

Endo is a very under-researched condition that most doctors are treating with old science that in my experience actually aggravates the issue. – Circe Trov, Amazon 4/3/19

Why We Chose This Book

Endometriosis, as a woman’s disease has not been studied well. Past common surgery procedures are now being discredited. Lifestyle decisions and especially food choices are being recognized as effective in giving relief from pain for most women. Since food is integral to better health outcomes, nutrition counselors need this information.
