What happens when a leading gastroenterologist and a fellowship-trained endometriosis surgeon sit down to talk? You get a powerful, honest, and deeply informative conversation about the connection between gut health, inflammation, and gynecologic disease.
In this episode of the Gut Love Podcast, Dr. Elena Ivanina interviews Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein, founder of ESSE Care, on how endometriosis impacts digestion, fertility, and overall wellness—and why so many women are misdiagnosed or left without answers for years.
They cover:
- Why GI symptoms like bloating and constipation are often signs of endometriosis
- How SIBO, IBS, and gut motility issues intersect with pelvic disease
- Why imaging often misses the full picture—and what to ask your provider
- The role of excision surgery and what true recovery actually looks like
- How nutrition, pelvic floor therapy, and hormone balance fit into the healing process
This is a must-watch for anyone navigating chronic GI symptoms, pelvic pain, or unexplained infertility.
