EF#15: Adenomyosis vs Endometriosis – A Natural Healing Approach with Sara Lopez

Sara Lopez

This week’s episode is all about Adenomyosis (Adeno), often called the sister to Endometriosis. I had a great interview with the Sara Lopez, who has Adeno, and who is also an Adenomyosis Coach. According to one study, that Sara mentions in the interview, 91% of women with Endometriosis have Adenomyosis, they just may never know. In this episode we talk about the symptoms, differences from Endo, how to get it diagnosed, how you can manage it with a holistic approach, how it might fertility and more.

Sara Lopez, M. Ed. is a Certified Hormone Specialist and Adenomyosis Coach. She works with women who struggle with adenomyosis or heavy periods to find healing and relief holistically. Sara has always cared about women’s health, and when she was a teen her mother suddenly had a hysterectomy – her recovery was long and painful to watch.  She decided she wanted to help others find alternative ways to heal besides hysterectomy. She wanted to be that woman that says “of course you can find relief holistically”, so she became a women’s health coach.  Now that I’ve seen so many women have huge health shifts with a holistic approach, I can say that it IS possible if you are ready!

Here are some of the episode highlights:

  • Sara’s journey with Adenomyosis
  • What Adenomyosis is and the comparison to Endometriosis
