Beat means to defeat. It insinuates power over or superior to your body. When I talk about soothing your bloating, I want to insinuate working with and caring for your body.

Can endometriosis impact your relationship with food and body? 🤷🏻♀️
Endometriosis is a condition that can result in you feeling like your body is out to get you. That even simple bodily functions feel out of control. “What’s my experience of pain going to be like today?” “Will I be bloated?” “Will I have diarrhoea or not go to the bathroom for the next five days?”
Surely that has a profound impact on how you feel about your body.
