If you think about it, Fibroids are a symptom of some form of inflammation. This relationship is why some treatment approaches focus on reducing inflammation through diet, lifestyle changes, or anti-inflammatory medications, which may help manage fibroid symptoms or slow their growth alongside conventional treatments. This was my method as well. It starts with understanding that inflammation promotes fibroid growth and chronic inflammation in the uterus creates an environment that encourages fibroid development and growth. ALSO - Inflammatory cells and signaling molecules (cytokines) can cause fibroids to multiply and produce excess fibrous tissue. So if fibroids cause local inflammation then you can bet the presence of fibroids themselves triggers an inflammatory response in the surrounding uterine tissue. This creates a feedback loop where inflammation supports fibroid growth, and the fibroids maintain inflammation. If you want to get a sense of your inflammatory markers talk to your doctor about running test for inflammation - I'll make a new post on this as well. Finally - your can initiate these conversations with your doctor and if they brush off your efforts, take it as a sign that your doctor might not be seeing the whole picture. After your appointment, set up your 20-min onboarding call so we can make a plan! Brendalyn

Hey ya'll! I'm writing up a newsletter to go out to the community this week and I thought to share this screen shot with you as I continue to face how much delusion I was in when dealing with my fibroids... The scene is New Year's Eve 2016, My friend William and I were preparing to go to a party and I reached out to him with an encouraging word and quickly stepped over my imminent situation that I was in the Emergency Room. Reading back It hurts me to know that I had bled so much that I ended up in the ER on my 2nd favorite holiday - New Year's Eve (New Year's Day is my favorite) and in reviewing this email, it is so obvious how much I wanted to avoid making any decisions about my fibroids. I was delusional! I did end up getting a blood transfusion - I needed 2 pints of blood and it took about 6 hours for the transfusion to complete. It was a horrific situation and I had buried it until I recently walked past that hospital - more to share there. What do you get from this message? How can it support you in maintaining your momentum toward your fibroids? If you're not sure if you're on the newsletter - drop your email at www.brendalynking.com and you'll be automatically added.

Hello! First, I want to extend a warm welcome to our 3 new members who joined today—we’re so glad you’re here! This is a space where we honor each other’s journeys with fibroids, share resources, and walk together toward healing. Please take a moment to introduce yourself so we can say hello. 💕 I also want to let everyone know that the community will remain completely free through Sunday, August 31. Starting Monday, September 1, this group will become a paid membership space. If you're already here, that means it'll be free for you for life. This shift allows us to deepen our conversations, share resources more intentionally, and create a container that truly supports your healing journey. I'll post the community call schedule this weekend. So - know someone who should be here with us? Now is the perfect time to explore, ask questions, and connect. Let’s make these next few days rich with introductions, stories, and support. With love and care, Brendalyn

Thank you for such an amazing call, @Brendalyn King . If you haven't done your 20-minute call with her you need to book it right away. It gave me so much hope that there was a path forward for my fibroid journey. I also feel as though I know the next steps that I need to make. I like knowing that from now into December I can experiment with things that I've been delaying on doing just because I haven't been able to understand how those actions directly affected my fibroids. She mentioned something on the call that's still in my mind. The question was, "How am I feeding my fibroids today?" I don't want to be feeding them at all. Looking forward to getting my ultrasounds and tracking the changes! Let's not let the rest of the year happen without us focusing on this ladies!

At the top of 2025 I started adding some gas into the efforts of growing a community of women serious about healing their fibroids. Alongside growing this (paid) group - I continued to "nurture" the Group that I started in 2024. Over the summer I began going LIVE weekly on Facebook so that I could practice "being on camera" knowing that Facebook groups are slow to grow....📈 Well something has exploded in that group and we're up to 525 members as of today!! While I wish for more engagement across all platforms, I know that the posts are "seen" and that sticking with my plan of offering value and quality resources will help me reach the goals that I've set. 🚀 JOIN US: https://www.facebook.com/groups/healfibroidsnow P.S. Don't forget to go to the classroom and set up your onboarding call! Brendalyn
