Endo almost killed her: Surgery Mistakes, Infertility, & Lost friendships

This episode is a heavy one. Holly opens up about what happens when endometriosis isn’t just misunderstood… but mishandled. From surgical mistakes that made things worse, to navigating a deeply emotional fertility journey, to battling depression, and losing friendships, Holly shares what it really looks like behind the scenes. She also talks about the friendships that showed up for her… and the ones that didn’t. Because when you’re going through something this isolating, you quickly learn who’s truly in your corner. At one point, her health declined so severely that she was close to going septic. A moment that changed everything. This conversation is raw, honest, and a reminder that endometriosis is never “just bad periods.” If you’ve ever felt dismissed, let down by the medical system, or alone in your experience, this episode will hit home.

When the Expert Is the Patient: Savannah Regensburger, MS, MBA, CNS

Episode 1: When the Expert Is the Patient With Savannah Regensburger, MS, MBA, CNS In the very first episode of Hot Girls Have Endo, Yasmin sits down with nutritionist and endometriosis expert Savannah Regensburger, MS, MBA, CNS, who also happens to be living with endo herself. In this conversation, Savannah shares what it’s like to navigate the condition from both sides: as a practitioner helping others and as someone experiencing the reality of endometriosis in her own body. Together, they talk about the concept of the “endo toolbox” which is the idea that managing endometriosis often involves many different pieces working together over time. From nutrition and movement to sleep, hydration, mental health, and community, Savannah explains why there’s rarely just one solution and why building a personalized approach matters. This episode is an honest, thoughtful conversation about navigating endometriosis in the real world, learning to listen to your body, and finding strategies that support your overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the advice out there, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to do everything perfectly — you just have to find what works for you. In this episode we discuss: * What it’s like when the expert is also the patient * The idea of the “endo toolbox” and why no single approach works for everyone * Nutrition, lifestyle habits, and inflammation * The importance of mental, social, and emotional health * Why perfection isn’t the goal when managing endometriosis You can follow Savannah on her social platforms via the links below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/savannahregensburger/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@savregensburger?lang=en Use "HOTGIRLS10" to save 10% off your first Daea*:  https://daeawell.com/products/endo-support   *not valid on subscriptions Learn more about Daea: https://daeawell.com/

Welcome to Hot Girls Have Endo

Welcome to Hot Girls Have Endo podcast! The podcast where we talk about the parts of endometriosis no one prepared us for. The pain. The gaslighting. The inflammation. The way it can quietly take over your body, and your life. And yes, before we go any further… the name is intentional. Hot Girls Have Endo comes from that ridiculous — and later retracted — study that tried to link endometriosis with attractiveness. As if this condition needed a headline like that. As if our pain needed to be packaged into something more acceptable. So we decided to reclaim it. Hot means resilience. Hot means showing up, even when your body feels like it’s fighting you. Hot means advocating for yourself after being dismissed. Hot means building a life that isn’t defined by shame, silence, or “just a bad period.” Because endometriosis isn’t just cramps. It’s inflammatory. It’s systemic. It impacts your energy, your mood, your relationships, your fertility, your confidence, sometimes all at once. This podcast is where we talk about it honestly. The messy parts. The hopeful parts. The real parts.
