• Endometriosis Diet That Stopped 20 Years of Pain | Khush Sra

  What if your doctor told you endometriosis was just “bad periods” — and the only solution was surgery or the pill? In this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, functional nutritionist and former engineer Khush Sra shares how she went from five surgeries and two decades of endometriosis pain to living pain-free for 20 years. Her transformation came not from another prescription, but from a whole-body, anti-inflammatory endometriosis diet, nervous system repair, and gut-healing nutrition. You’ll discover why this condition isn’t just hormonal — it’s a full-body immune imbalance — and how a few simple, science-backed lifestyle changes can help you reclaim energy, reduce inflammation, and restore balance.
