In this conversation, Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein sits down with Lisa Lisiewski—stage IV endometriosis survivor, functional nutritionist, and longtime ESSE Care partner—on the exact day marking four years since Lisa’s life-saving excision surgery.
Together, they reflect on the realities of recovery: from bowel perforation and surgical menopause to full-body healing, hormonal balance, and the ongoing work of staying well.
This conversation is a must-watch for anyone navigating endometriosis—before or after surgery—and offers practical insight into:
- What to expect after excision surgery
- Why lifelong care is essential
- How symptoms may persist (and what that means)
- The role of HRT, gut health, and pelvic therapy
- How to feel strong, supported, and whole—years later
Lisa’s story is powerful because it’s real. It shows that recovery is not linear, but with the right team and tools, it is possible.
“Surgery gave me back my life. But everything I’ve done since gave me back my body.” – Lisa Lisiewski
