Why Do We Trust Doctors More Than Ourselves?

The Endometriosis Treatment Trap

Why do so many women with endometriosis endure years of pain and suffering before seeking help—or worse, wait until their symptoms are unbearable to take action? Why do we trust a medical system that often advises us to "wait until it's bad enough for surgery," yet dismiss or distrust natural, holistic approaches that could address root causes rather than just manage symptoms?

In this controversial episode, we’ll explore the cultural, societal, and medical narratives that keep women trapped in this cycle. We'll question why so many of us put faith in treatments that allow us to hit rock bottom before offering temporary relief—yet rarely lead to a cure.

We’ll also discuss why natural and alternative methods are often overlooked or dismissed, despite evidence of their effectiveness. Is it a lack of awareness? A mistrust of approaches outside the Western medical model? Or have we simply been conditioned to believe that anything “natural” is less credible?
