LARA BRIDEN
About this episode

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that’s affected by hormones but is not caused by hormones. Instead, endometriosis is, at least in part, a disease of immune dysfunction. 

In this episode, Lara discusses some of the new endometriosis research including:

  • the link with genes that increase the risk of autoimmune disease
  • the role of a bacterial toxin called lipopolysaccharide or LPS, and
  • new targets for natural immune-modulating treatment.
