Navigating Endometriosis - A Conversation with Semaine Health Co-Founders Lauren Lee & Catherine Lee

Are you dealing with endometriosis or know a loved one who is and looking for ways to better navigate your health journey? In today's episode Stef sits down with Catherine Lee & Lauren Lee, co-founders of Semaine Health to talk about their journey as endowarriors as well as their company! About Semaine Health:  Semaine Health, a natural supplement startup that aims to reduce difficult symptoms of menstruation in a space where there are few options other than painkillers available. After decades of painful periods and suffering from stage II and stage IV endometriosis, Catherine and Lauren created the solution they were looking for: a plant-based anti-inflammatory supplement to help lessen their pain while supporting their overall health. Cath and Lar are driven by the desire to empower other women who have experienced pain and discomfort, who are looking for answers rather than being dismissed or told their symptoms are normal. With Semaine Health, Cath and Lar want to shift the paradigm in how hormones and women’s health in general is discussed. Pain might be common at different stages in our lives—from our first period through menopause—but it should never be normalized.
