Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from this episode — and how Fix Your Period can help.

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, or bladder. It affects approximately 1 in 10 women and is a leading cause of chronic pelvic pain and fertility challenges.

Why does endometriosis take so long to diagnose?

Endometriosis takes an average of 7–10 years to diagnose. This is due to widespread normalisation of period pain, lack of awareness among healthcare providers, and the fact that symptom severity doesn't always correlate with disease severity.

What drives endometriosis?

Endometriosis is driven by estrogen dominance and chronic inflammation. Key contributing factors include impaired liver detoxification, gut microbiome disruption (which affects estrogen clearance), immune dysfunction, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Is there an app to help women with endometriosis?

Yes. Fix Your Period supports women with endometriosis through cycle and symptom tracking and a free Hormone Health Assessment. Fix Your Period Premium unlocks Nicole's endometriosis protocol, Period Pillars education, and Nicole.AI for ongoing support.

Do I still need a specialist if I use Fix Your Period?

Yes. Endometriosis is a complex condition that requires qualified medical support, particularly for diagnosis and surgical decisions. Fix Your Period works best as a complement to your medical care — not a replacement for it.
