March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to bringing attention to a condition that affects an estimated 1 in 10 women worldwide, yet still takes many years for most women to receive a proper diagnosis.

Endometriosis can be debilitating—causing chronic pain, hormonal disruption, inflammation, fertility challenges, and a significant impact on quality of life. Unfortunately, many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or offered limited treatment options before they ever receive answers.

In this episode, I'm joined by holistic health coach and endometriosis nutritionist Khush Sra. Khush not only works with women suffering from endometriosis, she has lived with it herself. After being diagnosed nearly 20 years ago, she spent years navigating worsening symptoms, surgeries, medications, and the emotional toll of an often misunderstood disease.

In my practice, I've found that the most effective approach to endometriosis is multifaceted. Many surgeons are excellent at removing endometrial tissue, but long-term prevention and symptom management often extend beyond surgery and hormonal suppression. This is where practitioners like Khush play an important role—helping women address inflammation, metabolic health, nutrition, and lifestyle factors that can support long-term healing.

In this conversation, Khush shares her journey from years of declining health with severe endometriosis to becoming completely symptom-free, along with the strategies she now uses to help other women navigate their own healing process.

We also discuss why personalized care matters, the importance of building the right health team, and how women can start advocating for themselves earlier in their journey.

This was one of my favorite conversations so far—and one of the most important topics we've covered. If you or someone you love is dealing with endometriosis, there's a lot of insight here.

Episode Highlights:

• Khush's personal journey with endometriosis and years of worsening health despite multiple surgeries and medications
• Recognizing when the traditional medical path isn't providing answers
• Navigating fear, guilt, and isolation while dealing with an invisible illness
• The four stages of endometriosis and how the condition can progress
• The turning point that led Khush to reclaim her health and life
• How Khush now helps women as a nutritionist and holistic health coach
• Why building a collaborative health team is essential for endometriosis care
• What it's like to work with Khush and her approach with patients
• Holistic strategies that can support healing with endometriosis
• Khush's thoughts on intermittent fasting and endometriosis
• How women can start prioritizing their own health and well-being
• Why individualized, sustainable programs are critical for long-term success
• Khush's message for women who are newly diagnosed or suspect they may have endometriosis

Just as women can't biohack their way out of their symptoms, neither can men. You have to address the root cause.

Where many testosterone clinics are quick to identify low testosterone and start testosterone therapy, it's often a sign of many deeper issues. This is where poly-hormonal adrenal testosterone (PHAT) syndrome comes in. PHAT syndrome presents with a host of symptoms, including lower testosterone levels, insulin resistance, increased body fat, and sexual dysfunction, and it's something today's guest has identified more and more in his patients in the 35 to 60-year-old range.

Today's guest, Dr. Jerry Bailey, joins me to talk about something I hardly ever get the chance to discuss: men's health. In our conversation, we talk about globally declining testosterone levels, what PHAT syndrome really is and how it presents, what you can do if you or your partner have symptoms of PHAT syndrome, prostate health and causes of elevated PSA, and more.
