How I Took Control of Endometriosis and Inflammation

Sophie Richards endured excruciating chronic pain for 5 years before finally getting an answer. After a medical misdiagnosis and the wrong surgery, she was forced to quit her job and felt completely dismissed.

But as soon as she found doctors who listened and understood her endometriosis and inflammatory symptoms, everything changed. She knew she had to share her experience, and now has an audience of over 700k people.

In this episode of Her Discussions, Sophie opens up about her endometriosis diagnosis, the inflammatory journey she’s faced, including the solutions and lifestyle changes that have helped her manage the pain and symptoms.

This chat is for the girl who’s ever felt dismissed by a doctor, struggled with chronic pain, or had her women’s health concerns ignored.
