Be the Hero of Your Health
“About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, but I knew there was something wrong before that. I had gone to a number of doctors in agony — crying, shaking. When you’re living with chronic pain, you don’t know if you want to throw up or just curl into a ball and cry. That’s when I started a six-month journey of trying to figure it out. ‘OK, what is going on here?’ I finally went to a doctor who was able to diagnose me. Good thing, because my condition was advanced, and she needed to check my eggs immediately to make sure my fertility was intact.

Right now, I’m trying to figure out new ways to heal holistically through what I’m eating and the rest that I’m giving myself. I’m also exploring acupuncture, massages, Chinese herbal medicine, and maybe cutting out caffeine. I’m going to actively try to help people who live with this and not just talk about my experience. ”

Thank you @shape for making me your December cover girl. What an honor! I have admired this magazine my entire life, I will never forget seeing it at the grocery stores as a little girl and looking at the women gracing the covers in awe. And thank you so much to the village who made these shots possible. This was my first ever pandemic cover shoot and it would not have been possible without such an amazing team 🌟🌟
