Ah, sounds like you’re really carried a lot of weight on your shoulders - not just literarilly! Dealing with endometriosis, multiple fertility treatments and now weight gain - it’s kinda that one thing piles up on another, right? So, let’s dig into the world of Ayurveda here and see what we can do to balance things out a bit for you.
First, with endometriosis and low egg reserve, we’re lookin’ at some key imbalances. Ayurvedically, this often points to Vata disruptions, especially around the reproductive tissues (the Artava dhatus) and possibly a hint of Kapha with the weight gain.
Now, couple things you might try. Start with a diet that’s Vata-pacifying but also keeps Kapha in check. Think warm, cooked, easy-to-digest foods - stewed apples for breakfast, spiced quinoa or rice with veggies. Avoid cold, raw food and try not to skip meals since that can spike Vata. Little ghee in your meals wouldn’t hurt, it’s super nourishing for the tissues, but don’t go overboard cause of the weight gain.
For fertility, Shatavari is a herbal powerhouse. It supports the reproductive system and is like a soothing balm for Vata imbalances. A half teaspoon in warm milk or water before bed could be helpful. As for the thyroid and stress factors, Ashwagandha is your go-to, it’s like this gentle hug for your nervous system and also aids in balancing thyroid function.
Regarding your thyroid meds (75mg), it’s best to consult your endocrinologist if you’re considering changes. Ayurveda and allopathy can totally co-exist, they just need to communicate well (through you, I guess).
Yoga and meditation… I mean, can’t stress this enough! Both are great for calming and grounding Vata issues and also a fantastic way to cope with all the stress - fertility journey is no picnic, right? And sleep, ensure you’re getting restful sleep, it’s underrated but does wonders for hormonal balance and weight.
Remember, holistic changes take time, so be gentle with yourself. Whenever in doubt or need a more personalized herbal approach, consult with a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner, especially someone who’s used to integrating modern and traditional views. Stay hopeful.🌿
