“I'm 31 and feel better than I’ve felt since I was 14. There is hope for you to feel better.” - Camille Dollins

[TRIGGER WARNING: Suicidal ideation]

Having to carry on, believe in yourself, and find answers is extremely hard to do when you're in pain.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by pelvic health expert Dr. Shanti Mohling and Camille Dollins, Lead Marketing Manager here at the Integrative Women's Health Institute and a woman who has navigated her own experience of healing from endometriosis.

Camille’s story is both inspiring and hopeful, and it’s a credit to her that she held on to the tenacity to push forward and get the care she needed in a system that gaslit her and did not respect what she was going through. Thankfully, Camille is now living very healthfully, and her journey sheds light on a lot of the challenges of navigating the healthcare system with endometriosis, specifically extrapelvic endometriosis. As Dr. Mohling shares, this is a remarkably complex condition to treat and ideally requires the collaboration of a healthcare team.

As practitioners, we can no longer treat the body and mind as distinctly separate beings. People navigating complex chronic pain need both physical symptom and emotional health experts on their teams to truly make progress on their health journeys.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mohling, Camille, and I discuss the complexities of endometriosis, Camille’s struggles with diagnosis and treatment, how she connected with Dr. Mohling, Dr. Mohling’s extensive surgical experience, the challenges of diagnosing extrapelvic endometriosis, the interconnectedness of physical and emotional health, why we need holistic treatment approaches, what we can do as practitioners to offer integrative support in managing endometriosis, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
