Someone who really understands . . . 

  Hi, my name is Carolyn Levett - An Integrative Health Coach, author of 3 endometriosis books and a dedicated endometriosis advocate. But more significantly, I am an endometriosis warrior – but I have been fortunate to overcome this disease.

Some people say one of the most important pages on a website is the ‘About’ page, because readers want (and need) to be able to trust what they are reading and the advice being offered.


    What did endometriosis teach me?

It taught me that I am much more resilient than I ever thought I was. It taught me to trust my intuition (which has saved my life more than once). It also taught me that healing does not go on a straight path . . .  trying to heal the body involves a lot of self-discovery, a lot of self-doubt, and a huge amount of determination.

Believe me – trying to come to terms with the diagnosis of severe endometriosis and all the ramifications that were thrown up left me in a state of real despair and isolation. So yes, my resilience was tested to the limit.

I say I was fortunate to recover from endometriosis – but it took a lot of hard work and willpower

But this introduction is not to provide a complete story of my experience with endometriosis, but rather a quick introduction to my background and why I am here. I have been actively helping and supporting women and girls with endometriosis for over 23 years (God is that long!) via this website and then on social media. This was followed up over the years with my training in different natural health protocols – so it was not a whim of an idea – it has been a commitment.

Because of my own history with endometriosis my work as a health coach focusses on working with women who have endometriosis and adenomyosis – rather than being a generic health coach. To expand my knowledge, I am currently undertaking training in Women’s Hormonal Health to provide me with a deeper understanding of the subtle yet powerful influences that hormones have on our bodies.

Currently I am not taking on new clients at the moment due to other commitments (my training) and also having sufficient clients to manage right now. You can contact me HERE if you wish to be placed on a waiting list.

Getting Caring Advice

Using the internet as tool for help and research has changed greatly over the years. Once upon a time you could ask a question and be provided with numerous website results. Things today are very different. It is more than likely you will now get results that are provided by AI. This information is basically snippets of advice scrapped from many sources across the internet.

But this advice can never replace the advice and feedback and real life experience that comes from another human being. I am hoping that anyone who reads through the content here at end0-resolved feels that they are being provided with a more personal and caring viewpoint.


"My motivation is to help other women with endometriosis to heal their bodies so they can manage this awful disease without having to rely on toxic drugs and repeated surgeries which can cause further damage."


     My Journey . . . . . . .  

A brief insight about me . . after my diagnostic laparoscopy where it was found I had severe endometriosis, I was offered drug treatment to try and calm the disease, but after reading of the side effects from drug treatment I decided to follow my own path and looked for more natural ways to treat my body.

My journey towards recovering from endometriosis focused on going the natural route which involved much soul searching, intensive research, many challenges and a steep learning curve. Eventually I achieved my goal, which did take a few years because there was so much damage, but I was able to recover from this dreadful disease using natural therapies, nutrition and lots of self-care.  It wasn't easy and there were pitfalls along the way and many, many dark moments. It takes commitment, patience and time to heal . . . . .  But it really was worth the long-term benefits and the intense relief to start living a normal life again.

After recovering my health and learning of other women's experiences, I really wanted to offer support and encouragement to other women by providing advice and encouragement. This led to the inception of this website which has proved to be supportive for many women and girls.

Over the years I have read many harrowing stories of women who are suffering everyday and not obtaining any significant or permanent improvements with surgery or drug treatment. It is these stories that have led me to get my own story out and to help motivate other women, 


The aim of this website is to provide an antidote to all the negative stories and offer hope and motivation.

 

Endometriosis experience



     About the advice here . . . . . 

As well as providing conventional medical endometriosis advice, the emphasis here is focussed on using natural remedies, providing optimal nutrition and advice about many self-help measures that can be useful to help manage this disease and help reduce your symptoms.

I am striving here to provide a more positive and hopeful theme here at the website.  There are so many sad and negative stories surrounding this disease. I feel women are in need of encouragement and hope. Based on the advice offered here, over the years I have received many positive feedback stories from other women.  It was reading stories of recovery from disease and ill health that gave me hope when I was in the depths of dealing with endometriosis. Sometimes a little motivation can go a long way.

Endometriosis really is an all-encompassing, whole body disease disease and affects every aspect of a woman's life, which is something I fully understand.  This is why I feel personally qualified to be able to offer guidance and support to those seeking advice and reassurance when dealing with this disease.


Feedback from other women . . . 




Sherri
"Finding your website with advice on a diet for endometriosis has been one of the best things that happened in the last year. The first month I tried the eating guidelines, I had absolutely NO PAIN! That has never happened in my life.

Every time I see my OB/GYN doctor or my infertility specialist I try to convince them how changing my diet has changed my life - unfortunately they look at me like I am crazy. I cannot wait until the day that doctors start to recognise food actually affects your body" 



Lindsay 
"What a wonderful site! My Endometriosis has really started to rule my life, having a lot of pain, heavy bleeding that has put me in hospital for a blood transfusion once, and only just getting a grudging diagnosis from a hopeless health authority! This site is a great help, especially the diet section - i would never have thought some of those foods were harmful! This is a true lifeline - thanks :) "



Barbara 
"Thank you for providing such an informative and positive website. Two months after my laparoscopy I felt depressed, anxious, and fatigued. This website gave me hope to heal. I am now in yoga and experiencing nice results. In addition, I also changed my diet. With this disease I was desperate to feel good again. I also pay more attention to when I need to rest. My next step is to try the progesterone cream. I want to heal as natural and healthy as possible. God Bless," Barbara in Charlotte, NC 



I trust and hope that you will gain the confidence in your own ability to start healing from endometriosis after reading the pages here.




The principles here regarding endometriosis care is based on the concern that conventional modern medicine can do more harm than good. Surgery may be needed in more serious cases to repair the damage that the disease has caused.

However the right nutrition and lifestyle changes are not only less damaging to the body but can be very effective. Surgery has been found to be a temporary fix at best which can then lead to even worse symptoms caused by more scar tissue. Drugs with all their many side effects are also very damaging.  

Treating the body with kindness through nutrition, reducing toxins and supporting the immune system will reap better results for long term health.

Give your body a fighting chance to tackle this disease
