Endometriosis, PCOS (🙋), Ovarian Cancer, etc...All of these diseases are things that plague women, but are rarely talked about. Thanks for taking the time share your story.
These are all hormone related. Endometriosis and fibroids are caused by high estrogen. PCOS is caused by low progestrone and estrogen. I have been dealing with half diagnosed endometriosis and breast lumps for years but I decided to heal my best naturally and with herbs. My diet Is all the way different and I supplement with herbs to boost immunity and stabilize my hormones.
@@campbecy They're not all hormone related, endometriosis is mainly due to a genetic mutation which affects development of the female reproductive organs and the cause of PCOS is for the most part unknown (however the symptoms occur due to higher male hormones in the body). For PCOS one treatment I've seen help is losing weight and taking tablets prescribed by the doctor to help regulate the hormones, it helps to regulate the periods a bit more and helps with the other symptoms
Fed up what tablets have your dr prescribed ? Birth control? I have Pcos and wondering ? And what kind of diet have you found works for you?
Fed up I think you guys need to do a lot more research. In theory the cause of endometriosis is unknown but it Is strongly linked to estrogen dominance. To my knowledge no one in my family has uterine endometriosis however, I started getting symptoms and all of sudden I had all the signs of endometriosis. I was not fully diagnosed because I denied the surgery and decided to go the natural route and Tia talked about it in her book. I went on a no sugar, no diary, gluten and meat diet and I will seldom have eggs, fish or chicken like every few months. During the journey I found out that endometriosis is also linked to parasites which causes the inflammation. I’ve done parasite cleanses and I have actually seen tons of eggs and parasites. I have been on a protocol to balance my estrogen and progesterone since last summer because my doctor had me on birth control before. The first few months after birth control were brutal but now my periods are regular, 50% less bleeding and wayyyy less painful. 🤗 I forgot to add that I have do not eat high estrogenic foods other than meat like most beans and soy. When I was younger I thought painful cramps and heavy bleeding were normal and would go home from high school to curl up in a ball. The reason why Pcos becomes more under control after dieting is because they are mostly over weight and eat whatever they want. The liver becomes over worked and doesn’t process the hormones well. Read Tia’s book or just research journals on internal inflammation and its link to hormone imbalance.
Te'ylor Beck Do not Take what the doctor prescribes, they’re just bandages for what will be a long term alignment. Someone I work with actually changed her diet but she wasn’t super over weight and she conceived within a few few months. She said she will be eating healthier in general going forward so it doesn’t affect her again in the future. You can also look into calcium d glucarate and DIM. You also need more estrogenic healthy foods like beens fruits and veggies, try for a minimum of 3 months and see how it goes for you. Cheers!
I had endometriosis at 17 and PCOS at 19. I'm now 25 with baby number 3 on the way! Thank you for sharing your story. These are very real conditions and should not be ignored.
Krista Smith did you have to change your diet to lose weight or did you take something to get pregnant . I have PCOS I changed my diet and lost a lot of weight but still haven’t got my period yet
I had surgery at 17 and at 19 and I would drink lots of teas and eat foods that would keep it at bay. I did lose weight but all 3 times I got pregnant I wasn't really trying and I was also on a birth control pill to help keep my cycle regular. Hope this helps!
please help me i have being suffering from this disease bthat is almost costin my life
@@joelkamau1411 you have to change your diet drastically. This helps in any illness... Do research on juicing, raw veggies meals and what food to avoid such as Dairy, sugar, sodas and juice, processed food like canned, frozen, red meat and have occasional organic chicken or beef. Bone Broth is good. fermented foods.... Dont give up. ask God for help and healing anf guidance too
Thats awesome God bless TC
“Take a bath” 🙄🙄 doctors get on my nerves. 😖
#FACTS I swear I got some of the craziest responses from doctors for years before finding a specialities that took my pain seriously.
Wow! I can only imagine! What did U find that helped?
@@TEWMUCH honestly, the only thing that has truly helped has been the right vitamin combination. I recently shared on my channel. It took me years to finds the right combination.
Right! Yes ma’am! I’ve recently been focusing my attention to Takin care of my nutrient deficiencies as well.! I’m hoping that’ll help me accomplish some of my health goals. I’ve experienced with things like veganism and whole food plant based. And I don’t think I did it right cuz I was lackin nutrients and always felt deprived and hungry.
Wheat is also bad for you. If you stop with that a lot changes
I’m 18 and I was diagnosed last week with endometriosis. I feel a lot less alone knowing I’m not alone.
Courtney Reynolds honey you aren’t alone. I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago and had my 2nd surgery last week and I love this video have to change diets. Take care of yourself
Not sure how is best but contact me. I was diagnosed at 18 started at 15 and now am 32. I was alone, no one I knew understood or even got what a bad period was etc. Xxx
Mine im.bleeding for.month Soo.scared
Definitely not alone! I was diagnosed with stage 3 Endo at age 18 after 9 years of so much pain. There are so many of us that spend years in pain before diagnosis. If you want to find more information about being your own advocate and different treatments I definitely suggest reading "The Doctor Will See You Now" by Dr. Seckin. Its very eye opening and doesnt make you feel alone 💛 welcome to the fight, endowarrior.
You're not alone..I too am dealing with it for 7yrs
I struggle with it. I feared for years that it would prevent me from becoming pregnant. I'm expecting my first son in two weeks:) Thank you for sharing.
Brianda Pondexter congratulations! Did you have to seek fertility help ?
@@nataliashafaye2741 Thank you! I didn't. I wasn't even trying. It just happened and I'm so grateful.
Brianda Pondexter Wishing you a safe delivery. Blessings xo
How old are you? If you don’t mind me asking
@@TheGorgeousfemme Not at all. I'm 27.
You have two beautiful children 😍 telling your story just shows that you have endometriosis, but endometriosis doesn't have you! Welcome back Tia ❤
Thanks darling ❤️

Awesome comment! That's why I decided to share my story as well.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis on December 12th with blocked fallopian tubes I was very blessed to have a very small case of it and I just found out I'm pregnant I'm so happy to give birth to my first child in october.
I have endometriosis. I was diagnosed last year and undergone surgery last year as well. my ob removed my left ovary and fallopian tube and she told me i only had 50% chance of being pregnant. but hey, 4 months later, im pregnant.. yassssss
God is faithful, thank you Tia for sharing your experience.
Faith Shaya Amen
🙏🏾
Hi Tia, I have endometriosis from I was 27 and I am 46 this year, married for 18 years, we didn't get any children. I change how i eat but it didn't happen. The doctors say the old I get the harder, so I have to thank God my husband he gave me. Lately I am feeling some pain. But my God is a healer he can heal anything.
Lydia Hutchinson
Look up iodine deficiency and endometriosis. Dr. David Brownstein and Dr. Jorge Flechas have done extensive research in iodine deficiency and what it does to the body. You would be surprised at what you find out. Also read "The Iodine Crisis" by Lynne Farrow.
Do you still cramp bad?
Dear Lydia I'm very sorry about that..I was fortunate I was diagnosed of it @ the age of 14 I'm now 25 years the last time I went to see my gynaecologist I was told it's better now...The day I was told I had it I cried cux the doctor told me I might not give birth I prayed about it and thanks to God my doctor says I'm better now
@@sempfi22 I agree 100%...Thyroid function has alot to do w/ the reproductive sys...Iodine levels are very important for thyroid function, also for the entire body...Iodine is important for T3 & T4 convertion...Iodine solves lots of problems, please research it people...I learned the hard way...
I also suffer from Endometriosis. We will find a cure someday. We can kick Endometriosis out the door for good. I love you Tia ❤️❤️❤️
Your food is your medicine.Changeyour diet.doresearch and see what works for you.
You still have pain? I was also endometriose patient
@@Ps-do2si I am sorry for the pain you are enduring, but if you remove all dairy products and foods that contains gluten it will help.Drinking water is very helpful, room temperature, stop drinking cold water.Drink water first thing in the morning then eatanorange or a banana. Drink water one hour before you eat and even before you shower and before you go to bed.
Me 2 changed my whole Life style😀 have since five years no pain anymore. Did all Things since age of 30. Was 25 five when i was dwaling with it after i stopper with the poll. But i have to watch my eggsquality now cause it has effect on it. Im 38 now.
I am with you!! I hope a cure is found soon, too!!
Omg yes! I’ve struggled with endo for so many years and it keeps me in bed screaming and crying from the pain. I recently had a talk with an older friend who has been with endo for years and she also told me that sugar, dairy, and processed foods would make it worse so last month about a week before my cycle I cut out those things and my period was sooo much better. It’s crazy how food can really affect us.
Autumn LaShay I’m gonna have to try that.
That’s crazy because I did the exact same thing you did. Just to test it out I ate clean 1 week before my cycle and BOOM!, no more excruciating period cramps! It was so shocking. But it’s changing my life knowing how much meat and dairy can really cause so many interruptions in our bodies. Been vegan/vegetarian ever since! 😆
@@latinaylove8323 dairy and chocolate are the worst for me
I'm glad those things helped you. Adding in more calories, more whole good carbs, and raw dairy (Weston A Price) and it has helped mine a lot
OMG RESPECT OTHERS HUMAN home food made scratch only cooking for me personally was nutrition eating. Fast food was awarded be generous by getting student with A report card.
Just a disclaimer: Don’t blindly follows doctor’s orders. You may want to get a few opinions and then make a decision.
Facts
💯
Truth! I complained about my problems around age 12. I was in pain for years. By the time anyone took me seriously it was too late to save my uterus and ovaries. I had a hysterectomy at 35.
I agree. I believed a doctor who told me I needed to have surgery to remove my very large fibroid. I did the surgery, but now I have 4 fibroids. I've had two miscarriages since getting fibroids (I have two previous pregnancies). Thank you @tiamowryquickfix for sharing your story.
hlnl56 So true but people trust medical doctors with their lives, for the most part doctors no longer have our best interests at heart. I was complaining to my doctors since I was a teenager because my friends never had periods like I did. The doctors told me it’s normal and that I will basically grow out of it. I’m 30 now and at 28 it went from what I already thought was bad to unbearable, I had to take days off work for my period and get iron infusion from losing too much blood every month. At 29 the gynaecologist said that “ I most likely have endometriosis but the only to be diagnosed was with surgery” and offered me another birth control with progesterone 🤨. I was getting super dizzy and I even fainted on vacation from the intensity of the pain. I denied the surgery and went the natural route and months later I’m feeling so much better than I did even in my teenage years. 🤗🙏🏾
Unfortunately it’s too late for me. I had to have a partial hysterectomy and wasn’t able to have children. Thank you for putting this out here for other women. ❤️💪🏾
stay strong.u dont need to give a birth to be a mother.just share yr love with someone else and adapt a baby.
So sorry❤️ You’re still freaking amazing!!!
@@fatimemehdiyeva2439 thank you!
@@Sunflower97095 thank you so much as are you!☺️
@@Some1sAuntie Of Course! I was just diagnosed with endometriosis on my right ovary. I have two cyst growth there . And I’m only 26 😞 Hoping for the best !
My doctor just discovered I have endometriosis after 2yrs marriage and unable to conceive and I pray after my surgery I should have my own baby
Miranda Fonge I pray you have a healthy baby love
I pray you have a health baby in god blessed name
You can and You Will Look up Dr Joe Dispenza
Prayers
Sending baby dust your way!
I’m currently recovering from my first surgery and this video made me feel so much lighter and encouraged. Thank you so much ❤️
Hi. Hope and wish you recover soon and get healthy. I need to know if one can have a surgery at 4th stage of endometriosis without removing the entire uterus? My cousin, she is almost 40, and she is extremely upset for doctors have told her that she need to remove her uterus because her endometriosis is in 4th stage and any other medication or surgery is not helpful. Can you please find and tell if she still can ho under surgery without removal of uterus, and can have children. She is not getting pregnant and have no child yet
@@qaimkhan2549 My endometriosis is stage 4. I didn’t have my uterus removed. The doctor removed a significant amount and prescribe an IUD, Lupron Injections and Birth Control pills to slow the progression. Your cousin should seek a second opinion. Everyone one is different but I hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing.... I had 10 years of miscarriages and now the last 3-4 years not being able to "get" pregnant. I got diagnosed just last week with a blood clotting disorder and have a docs letter to get me onto fertility treatment. PCO, polops and fibroids 😔😖😫 A long wait of heart ache and loneliness BUT I'm on my way!!! Such a beautiful family you have 💚💚
God bless you, I truly hope that God protects, heals you, and blessed you
Please research thyroid, iodine levels, & maca root...Thyroid balance is very important for the reproductive sys...
I have both Endometriosis and PCOS too. It’s so annoying sometimes. Watching this video kind of made me teary as it’s so relatable. Thank you for making this video - I love hearing other ladies stories 💕
I have endometriosis and pcos and fibroids and ppl still think its all in my head
I have No baby
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 27 after having terrible cramps since I was like 14 years old. So I was finally diagnosed at 27 and I was married 7 years at the time to my high school sweetheart. I was told my chances of having kids was really low. I became severely depressed with emotional and physical pain. I no longer felt like a woman and I just felt I was useless. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer during that time as well so I was going thru a really tough time. Fast forward, I'm 37 now and I have allowed my fear and depression just stop me from further treatment and being the happy person I use to be. My husband and I are now seperated and alot of it was due to me just basically checking out on life. He left and now have a child with someone else. Today I feel alot of hurt and regret because now I have to go at this alone to get my problem fixed. I wish we could have worked thru it but I guess he's happy now. So ladies, if you are going thru Endometriosis, please go to the doctor and get it taken care of and please don't let it control your life. I just don't want no one else taking the route I did out of fear. I have a doctor's appointment coming up so please pray for me. Thanks and Good luck and Blessings to others battling this condition. 🙏💯💪
I really appreciate this. The fear of treatment for Endometriosis is taking over my relationship and life. I really needed your advise. Thank you.
I’m praying for you. You are healed in Jesus’ name.
I hope this worked out for you. 🤍🤍🤍

How were you diagnosed? My doctor told me there was no way to know besides surgery? I think I have it
My Grandmother always said, "get a 2nd, 3rd, 4TH opinion, if u have to!!"
I know how u feel I have ibs c and I get excruciating pain and no Dr help
Yep! I had to go through 4 doctors to FINALLY get surgery to be diagnosed.
Wise words if ever I heard them. :)
Yep, It was my 3rd opinion doctor who gave me the real and ended my suffering. Smh
@@myrthasmascary4086 I have ibs as well. They referred me to a gynecologist, but I have been putting it off for years. I’m finally taking the leap as I’m worried that I might endometriosis or PCOS, maybe even both.
I’m 23 I’ve been to SEVERAL doctors. My menstrual is the worst part of my life, I usually go to the bathroom for hours and one day in school my teacher denied me going to the bathroom and I actually ended up having a seizure and urinating on myself and that’s when I’ve noticed ok this is obviously not normal. Every doctor, my family and friends never believed me and said I exaggerate until a friend actually watched me have a seizure I fell to the floor and cracked my tooth. Till this day no one knows what’s going on but my passing out, having seizures and throwing up only occurs on my menstrual. I truly 100000% believe I have endometriosis after doing extensive research but terrified of surgery. Thank you so much for speaking out because we’re all told to take a pill and lay down or just go on birth control
Hi i have endometriosis and had a surgery a few years ago and it has changed my life. The surgery is done via a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) not a big incision whatsoever. During laparoscopy, the surgeon makes a small cut around 1cm to (0.4 inches), usually near your belly button. After the surgery you feel sore for a day or two, but not that much and once you have healed completely you will not see any scars at all. 🤗

@@rubyname8885 Pelvic ultrasound can only diagnose endometriosis if the patient has chocolate cysts.
Add Nancy's nook endometriosis education on FB plzzz
Thanks for sharing! I have these symptoms(vomiting, painful unbearable menstruations, dizzy) I’m so scared I have my ultrasound in 2 weeks 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. I bought your cookbook 2 years ago and read your story there. You are absolutely right, food is medicine. Endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS and other issues are related to estrogen dominance based on what we consume, especially dairy since hormones are often injected into cows. I suffer from fibroids and once I started eating better and cut out alcohol (another culprit) it got better.
Diet is everything!!
Hi Tia, thank you so much for sharing your story, you are a great inspiration to me. I also have endometriosis, been diagnosed about 5 years now. It gives me hope knowing that you were able to conceive twice with this disease. I'm about to get married and plan to start a family immediately after, I think your recipe book will significantly help me in this journey to conception. Where can I purchase it? I do not live in the US.
@@kimberleyfrancis6038 Hi darling! Thank you for the love and support ❤️ You can find my book on Amazon! amzn.to/2L8ceDy I hope it can help you on your journey 🙏🏾
Hi Tia, thank you so much for sharing your story. You are helping so many women. I am learning how important diet is. @Marci, it's interesting to read that your fibroids got better after eating better. I am suffering from fibroids myself and it seems that doctors and specialists have no solution for me. Non of them ever said anything about a healthy diet. They only talk about medicines. But I read from different women who suffer or suffered from fibroids that a diet has helped them. I am wondering if this cookbook has helped you in your journey with your fibroids.
This has helped tremendously. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Endometriosis and waiting to have treatment. Tysm for sharing:)
Had my first endometriosis laparoscopy yesterday, they found it on my left ovary and removed it. This video helped me. Ordered the cookbook too.
I have to have my laproscopy in 2 weeks to remove endo and 2 cysts on my left ovary. Did they have to remove your ovary? Did they mention if it would help fertility?
@@backroads227 they didn't remove my ovary, and my doc said it should help out and that I'm "in my prime" for baby making after the surgery. So we'll see...
Is the surgery done on the novel 😯?cause I think I have one on the right ovary
@@saprice13 were you able to get pregnant?
I love that Endometriosis is being being talked about! Especially by you! You are a sister warrior and I'm so happy that you have a beautiful family. I do want to point out that pregnancy DOES NOT cure or relieve Endometriosis, only suppress it. Every endometriosis case is different but its a big myth from doctors. Many still have the pain and stress about surgeries even after giving birth. My opinion is that it would be very hard to take care of a baby or kid when the mother continues to have debilitating pain. There are many myths out there and many doctors with different opinions with different solution to test on. Some work some don't. But one thing is true... there is NO CURE and NO real reason why endometriosis happens. I totally agree with the diet part since I've experiment it myself.. I get flares up with dairy, meat and alcohol. I think gluten too but I'm still not sure. I'm very interested in you cookbook!! Thank you Tia!!
This is perfect timing. I go in Friday for an ultrasound. The thing that broke my heart most was the chance of infertility. I know I’m only 19, but I’ve always wanted to be a mama, and I want to do whatever I can to fix this. We will all be stronger because of it. Thank you so much, Tia.
I can’t begin to thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with endometriosis a couple months ago and I have had mild depression due to the thought of one day not being able to get pregnant. Thank you for showing me that there is still hope to have beautiful babies even with our condition.
From the age 13 - 21 I went to the doctor/hospital with severe pain and was always told ‘it’s just a heavy period, take paracetamol’ until I was diagnosed last year so I feel ya on the long diagnosis process x
Awe! I love this! Especially her message at the end. I’ve been having severe stomach pains for the last 2 years. At first I thought it was just really bad cramps but I had not had my periods with it. After I got off birth control my period were very irregular. Ive been to multiple doctors and even seen a stomach specialist as well as had an ultrasound done and no one could tell me anything. I never even heard of endometriosis before until it started to pop up on commercials. I’m still not even sure what’s going on with my body but this seems to be the closet thing that sounds similar to what is going on with me. I’m not going to give up because I know my body and I know something is not right. I appreciate this video to encourage women to keep seeking help and not just relying on one persons opinion.
My mother had a long journey with her diagnosis as well. She was in extreme pain for YEARS, but was ignored and gaslit by her doctors. They accused her of being an opioid addict, even though she's never taken any of those overprescribed medications in her whole life. They made those spurious accusations just based off of the speculation of the previous ob/gyn who also didn't do his job. Until she advocated for herself to the point of tears in the waiting room and hallway (i.e., outside of the exam room) they hadn't even conducted a pap smear. Ignoring women in severe pain is, unfortunately, par for the course in healthcare. I believe the studies show that this exacerbated when that woman is non-White or has a lower socioeconomic status. My mother's actions got her in front of the director of gynecology who LISTENED to her, paired her with two excellent physicians in her unit, and censured the doctors who abused her instead of conducting a routine examination that would've helped to identify the cause of her pain. If you're being ignored and your health is at stake let EVERYONE know and don't give up on yourself.
Dr's are great at ignoring even with proof of test... because so many people do wrong by medication.. I have been fighting it for over 15 years.. when I got fibroid cysts the dr didn't do anything to help.. now the two fibroid tumors have grown together and is the size of my uterus.. drs try to make you feel like you are crazy because the pain ..
Wow God bless your mom!!!! Thank you for sharing this incredible story of strength & bravery! It's SOO true about our healthcare system :( smh
These same people will diagnose you with stage FOUR cancer after ignoring you
Thank you . Because your Mom story was mine . It took 20 years to be diagnosed, 20 years . I was accused of having phantom pain. By the time they conducted a hysterectomy...my ovaries were glued to my walls and twisted . I suffered out of my mind kind of pain.
I’m 22 years old and in a similar situation... I will keep fighting. This has been going on since I was 13 years old. I currently have endo, a massive 12cm ovarian cyst, and pelvic bleeding yet nobody will help me even though they have the results right in front of them. Thank you for the words of encouragement
Tia! I have Endo and honestly it's been a journey and I've been slowly implanting changes in my diet and your book was the first one I bought to help me get started!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you do much for sharing
I grew up with you, watching you on tv following all of the different shows you and your sister were on. I’ve watched this video several times to encourage myself. I was diagnosed at 18 with PCOS (I wanted 4 kids), and it felt like my world crashed around me. Still no kids and I’m about to turn 25, but I’m trying not to loose hope. Thank you for being an inspiration
i am definitely dealing with endometriosis and i have ever since i was in high school. changing your diet is a must!
Far too often females are treated as though they are over reacting. I agree to listen to your body and keep searching until you find someone who will really listen and investigate. Your digestive system houses 70 to 80 percent of your immune system so yes, diet plays a very important role. This was informative and I enjoy your style of delivery.
Very true! Listen to your body and trust yourself 🙌🏾
@@TiaMowrysQuickFix hi tia endometriosis can cause bladder pain I had surgery sep 30 of endo doctor told I don’t have any endo but my bladder is hurting so badly
A couple of years ago.... I went to ER and found out I had uterine fibroids. It has been a long journey. But god is good! I became vegan 6 months ago! Thank you for sharing ur story Tia!
That is great!!! It was the best decision I ever made !😊
Try yoni detoxing
Did becoming a vegan help with the fibriods.
Yes it has help with fibroids
Praise god! Thank you for sharing 😊
As someone that also has this as well as ovarian cysts and a whole host of issues I can’t thank you enough!!! Such an important message!! 💛💛
Thank you so much for this. It is a daily hard thing to go through. It helps to know you’re not alone in this journey❤️❤️ This helped me a lot!
Thank for sharing Tia ... I'm 16year old girl who was diagnosed with endometriosis last year ... ii understand what you went through... 💔😢❤ ... You are my role model / my rock ❤
Thank-you for raising awareness for this condition. Very painful cramps are not normal, no matter how much people try to normalize or downplay it. As Tia says if something feels wrong you owe it to yourself to investigate and get a second or even third opinion.
Totally agree!
Exactly! Multiple opinions and we must continue to seek knowledge, get to know our bodies.
Thank you for speaking out!!! This video gives me hope..Was diagnosed Dec last year, and I have been doing a lot of research..This video was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story! Mine was very severe, and I've had 3 surgeries for them- 2 of them open abdominal surgeries and 1 laparoscopic. I have a lot of scarring inside my abdomen, and all of these factors have greatly affected my fertility. You've inspired me to share my story as well. It's on our youtube channel. Much love to you!
When man say no God say YES!!! He only put you through that so you can be a living testament and help others that are going through the same thing. I struggled with fibroids and thought I wasn’t going to be able to have kids but God knows what he had in store for me and at age 36 he blessed me with my beautiful baby girl who is now 2 1/2 years old....the BEST gift in life!!!Continue with your healthy journey and blessings to you and your beautiful family always. 😘
Praise God sister 🙌 your testimony is encouraging me to keep believe that God can do the impossible, I have had irregular cycles since a teen and later found out I was diagnosed with PCOS, I'm believing God for my healing that I will soon have a child.
Amen and Amen! well said Blessing to you and your family!
Such a timely video. I got married last year and in the last 4 months I’ve been trying to get pregnant. This past Christmas I felt a swelling on my lower left side of my tummy that was cramping like crazy, went to the hospital , turns out I have ovarian cyst on both ovaries and endometriosis. About 7yrs ago and at least once a year I would have very bad period pain that would literally knock me out (fainting spells). At least I know why I had those terrible pains. I’m literally just coming home from having a blood test at the hospital, and they will be calling me in for surgery in the next few weeks. Thanks Tia for this video, I can start eating better to help myself and there’s hope xx
Hope your surgery went well.
Omg I know I seen this so late, but wow you’re describing what exactly what I’ve been going through and my same family doctor hasn’t been completely listening. You totally changed my life and I will look into a specialist. Thank you Tia ! Keep being amazing ❤️👑
This is such a uplifting way of expressing this condition. Thank you for that!
FIRST!!! WELCOME BACK TIA MOWRY-HARDRICT!!!
Welcome back beautiful Tia, Thank you for sharing your journey with endometriosis. There are so many females that have this but are afraid to discuss it. Thank God for your friend Alicia referring you to this specialist. You are abundantly blessed with two beautiful children after having your surgeries . The change of diet is a must! Again thank you for sharing this.❤️🙏🏼
Hi tia how are I always watch your show an I ave learn alot my name is kerry
Thanks for sharing Tia! This discussion was really needed for us work battling with endometriosis!
Thank you for sharing your story! I was just diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS a year ago. It’s something that needs to be talked about more so others don’t have to suffer.
It’s crazy that your doc ignored your issues! I’m finding that so many doctors do that mine included. I was so concerned with my issues and my doc literally didn’t care. I had to help myself with a lot of research and trial and error with my own body. Crazy.
The doctor ignored mines for 30yrs
This made me feel like I wasn’t alone! I was diagnosed at the age of 18 and it was scary plus I was young! I found out a couple years ago that you had Endometriosis and I just thought to myself I would have never known that! Thank you for your story!
Thank you so much for this video! I feel better about myself now, no one explains exactly what can happen you give me hope ❤️
This is very inspirational and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your journey which is something stressful and personal but something that needs to be shared to those so they can become more knowledgeable at the same time. ❤️🙏🏾😘
I literally love her laugh. She’s so cute and I wish I can be as happy and confident as her after having my baby.
You’re so strong for this! and your babies are beautiful 🤗♥️
I LOVE YOU TIA!!! YOUR PERSONALITY IS SO FULL OF LIFE!!! God bless you and your family!!! Thank you!!!!
I found out that I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March but I’m pretty sure I’ve had it for years! I am now urging myself to change my diet because I want to have kids with my husband like you Tia. I had surgery and my right ovary was removed, but my doctor said I can still have children and I’m keeping my faith! I need more advice because it’s a struggle to be in the unknown with endometriosis!
Thank you for sharing your story!! ❤️ it’s helpful to hear from others who have been through the same thing and to know we are not alone in this.
I just discovered your channel and I was hooked within a day! Your energy is infectious and I always end up smiling. However I also love that you keep it real. Thank you for telling us your story and bringing an awareness to this subject that is slowly becoming less taboo to talk about. So many women suffer in silence and live with endometriosis daily. It’s lovely to see you again Tia❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. I am 27years old and I got diagnosed today with the same condition. My period is like a nightmare every month, and sometimes I would bleed for the whole month. I've been to several doctors until finally today I got to know what exactly is going on with me. Thank you for sharing your experience, I was soo scared and is still scared, but at least I know I'm not alone in this!
This video helped jumpstart the change I needed in my life I’ve been suffering for years not knowing what was wrong with me and this video made me speak to my gyn and I’m thankful I did thank you!
Thank you for being brave enough to share this Tia! 🙏 I have endometriosis and fibroids and I bought your book. Very helpful. Blessings to you sis😊
I wish someone would have shared there experience in the 70’s and 80’s thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG Thank you Tia! Getting your book asap. I have been struggling wih what to cook and eat and i am so glad i clicked on this video!
this was so encouraging 😢 I've struggled with severe pain/cramping/swelling on and off for 2 years now playing with different birth controls and after my latest dr appt my doctor talked to me about endometriosis and it makes so much sense now. To be honest I've been scared and so dissappointed that I could potentially have a very painful chronic condition. I'm so glad to see that it's not a debilitating plague in your life, there's some hope. ❤
I don’t have this condition but I am struggling with something else and I’m also changing my diet in order to see changes....thank you for sharing your story....love you guys you’re so genuine...💕💕
I have two friends that have been diagnosed by endometriosis and my sister is in the process of finding out whether or not she has it. Thank you for sharing your story. I see how much they go through dealing with it and it makes me feel so terrible that I can’t help. I will be praying for you as well as my loved ones.
I love this video! I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis last year FEB 2019 and literally just got out of the second surgery yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing, Tia!

Thank you for sharing this! I just found out I had endometriosis 3 years ago and I’ve been having these symptoms since I was 13. You have convinced me to change my diet, time to go buy your book!
So encouraging xxx I have been suffering with Endometrioses for many years and struggling with infertility so thank you for sharing your story xxx

Happy new year 2019! and welcome back Tia!. Many blessings from my family to urs always! 💜🙏😁.
Such an honest testimony for your journey with Endometriosis. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this info. I just got diagnosed with endometriosis. I have one baby and thought that this diagnosis was the end of having babies but you have given me hope.
Preach sister! I was misdiagnosed for approx 14 months. After missing way too much work to be acceptable and being in the ER every week for severe pain, nausea, etc and being sent home with nothing but a huge bill and feeling like the doctors really were not listening to me I finally had an ER follow up with a general PCP who took one look at me and my records and said "I bet you have endometriosis". I said endo-what?. He wasn't a "specialist" but he was a blessing and a catalyst to have my first laparoscopy to get diagnosed properly. The OB who did my lap tried to schedule me out several weeks and this Dr called her and said he wanted me in surgery within the next 48 hours. Even that OB didn't want to acknowledge my pain or my symptoms. This was back in 2010-11. There is alot more exposure and awareness now . I think the hardest part was the isolation. Feeling alone because you don't "look sick" but you have to cancel plans last minute because you cant even get out of bed. Friends simply don't understand. If I had Cancer (God forbid) then I would get sympathy and understanding but since I have a disease no one understands unless they have it, then I just look flaky and unreliable. My job pressured me once I got FMLA and tried to punish me for calling in (which is illegal and if it happens to you document everything and contact your state Dept of Labor). I found solace being on IG and seeing how many women across the globe also struggle with this disease .. it's like a support system and sisterhood when you feel abandoned by friends and family. I was told I would never have kids and would keep needing maintenance surgeries. I have not had another surgery since 2011, however I am probably due. I was also informed about changing my diet and exercising in order to keep inflammation under control. I declined the Lupron due to the horror stories and side effects I heard. I took myself off hormonal birth control (which made me feel even worse) and just put my faith in my own instincts. I think each woman has to find out what works for her , regardless of what your doctor feels and also get several opinions. I went to approx 8 different Dr's and specialists and each one has their own method and opinion so it gets confusing. Listen to your OWN body just like Tia said. Sorry this is getting long. Best of luck to everyone struggling with invisible illness.
Thank you for this. I read every word. Did ypu end up having kids?
This was so good and informative! I’m actually having my surgery this coming Monday (feb 4th, perfect time to watch this). I agree, not a lot of women talk about this condition that needs to be talked about, so thank you for opening up. It’s very encouraging. I pray your journey continues to be healthy and wonderful! Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Thank you for this! More people need to talk about endometriosis. I never heard of it until I was diagnosed around 7 months ago. The thought of being infertile is upsetting. This video really helped.
I’m 22 and been dealing with this for 9-10 years now. Feeling the worse pain in my life right now as I’m watching, this is literally how I feel. Watching this has made me smile and feel a little better.
This was very informative and Tia's personality is soo cute and vibrant.
You and your sister are so loving and kind, it warms my heart everytime. God bless you and your family. Praying for ya🙏
I was diagnosed today. And your video has been vary comforting and helpful. Keep doing great things.
You have no idea how badly I needed to hear this message. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I haven't been diagnosed with endometriosis, but I do have PCOS and have been struggling with infertility for almost 3 years now. My husband and I just did our first round of IVF and we're praying our embryo baby sticks, but it's not a guarantee. I'm so thankful you were vulnerable enough and brave enough to share your story!
Hi Bethany, I'm praying sending you all the good vibes. I have fibroids and my Dr recommended surgery if I wanted to have kids. The idea of surgery is something is wasn't open to. I have done a ton of research on alternative cures and came across Serrapeptase a proteolytic enzyme along with a liver cleanse Bupleurum. I have been taking it for a month and have had some pain relief and my period went down from 10 days to 6 days. The cramping has also gone down. I was cramping almost everyday even when I wasn't on my cycle. During my research some people who had PCOS had some good results after using Serrapeptase and a Chinese tea. Not sure if you know about it. Just thought I should let you know in case you didnt. Good luck and God bless:)
TubbsBugg hey what’s the name of the tea ? I have PCOS and I’m struggling to get my period back
Just turned 26 a couple days ago and I’ve come to terms that I need to take care of my body. I’ve had these ongoing symptoms on and off for the past couple years. And with my recent weight gain they have gotten worse. Thank you for sharing your story! I have hope that I can become healthy again.
Thanks for sharing Tia. I have never had someone explain endometriosis so well. I am on my journey to get diagnosis of the pains I have had for years too! Will be constantly coming to watch this video foe emotional support and knowledge
This was the most amazing video I seen. I have endometriosis and I’m 24 I been having it since I was 12yr my mom has it as well but she had 5 kids. This made me cry because I do feel alone and I do feel like I never get answers. So many doctors do nothing for me and say to walk it off. I also have the fear I won’t be able to have kids 💔 . This gives me hope 🙏 thank you so much for coming out with your experience. I am definitely going to try this and keep pushing for positive energy. Endo girls rock. 🙏
I am so proud that you overcome the Endometriosis!
My daughter who is 24 is struggling with this as well. Same exact symptoms and not being able to conceive. 😔 Thank you so much for sharing this! I will def. pass this on to her❤
Watching this give me a hope. Thank you ❤️ I’ve looked up to you since I was very little.
Tia, you are just awesome. I love your candidness and authenticity...its important for women in Hollywood to share things like this because you guys can reach the masses and be a positive influence in our lives. Thank you for being you! And thanks for the information as well.
Aww that’s awesome..Glad that everything has worked in y’all favor!!
Wow I had no idea she had endometriosis. I know it affects so many women , but no one talks about it! The pain - simply indescribable and unbearable. It is literally debilitating. Stay strong women are the STRONGEST on earth 💙
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I myself have been dealing with this for years and hopefully it’s not too late for me to be able have more children🙏🏽❤️
I have had this condition since i was 12 and now i am 31. I am so beyond happy that there is finally awareness about this horrible condition. You have to still force yourself to work/school/sports/etc.. and it is so hard. But now people know about this. I used to feel powerless with the lack of awareness. Thank you for sharing your journey 💜
U have two healthy kids that’s blessings from God a miracle, this issue needs to B talk about us women-go though a lot in life changes.
I had my son at 15 and I’m now 32 he is 17 and I would LOVE to be a mom again I thought it could never happen but you truly give me hope! I have pcos/endometriosis also, Thank you for sharing this!❤️
Tia, you are a ray of sunshine & a breath of fresh air.
It's amazing how many other women suffer with endometriosis like I do. thanks for opening up, and just telling your story.
