Ep. 27 - Endometriosis & Fertility: Why Painful Periods Aren’t Normal And How to Heal Holistically

Written By Jazmine Corona

In today’s episode of Glow Social Hour, I’m thrilled to be joined by functional nutritionist and life coach Alyssa Chavez, who shares her inspiring journey of navigating endometriosis, fertility struggles, IVF, miscarriage and ultimately discovering healing through root-cause nutrition, nervous system work and emotional restoration. Her story brings hope to every woman who has ever felt dismissed, unheard or stuck in a health loop with no answers.

We Discuss:

  • The decade-long journey of symptoms before finally discovering endometriosis

  • How common period-related suffering has become normalized

  • Doctors defaulting to birth control and pain management instead of root-cause investigation

  • Why inflammation is a central driver and how to uncover its source

  • The emotional trauma, grief and nervous system overwhelm that accompanies fertility struggles

  • How tools like functional testing, nutrition, breathwork, meditation and NLP helped Alyssa heal

  • The final shift that supported natural conception at age 36

Key Takeaways:

  • A diagnosis is helpful, but it does not define or limit your identity

  • Women are often told their pain is “normal,” when it’s actually a signal

  • There is rarely a single root cause; it’s a combination of physical, nutritional, emotional and environmental factors

  • Safety in the nervous system is a major prerequisite for fertility

  • Healing is possible, even after years of struggle, IVF and loss and still not getting better, this is the missing layer.
