Hey there, There's no other way for me to tell you this, but you are feeding your fibroids. You ate something between the first of this year and this Super bowl Sunday that is not going to agree with your body simply because you have fibroids. At this point in our knowledge of Fibroids, we must incorporate new evidence that tells us that what you put in your body will either support you or constrain you. And if you have fibroids, they're looking for reasons to stick around. Feeding your fibroids means consuming foods and engaging in lifestyle habits that contribute to their growth by increasing estrogen levels, inflammation, or hormone imbalances in your body. Fibroids are estrogen-dependent, meaning they grow when estrogen levels are high or unbalanced in relation to progesterone. Here are ways You Might Be "Feeding" Your Fibroids: 1. Consuming Excess Estrogen-Boosting Foods 2. Eating Inflammatory Foods 3. Overloading on Xenoestrogens (Environmental Estrogens) 4. Skipping Liver and Gut Support How to "Starve" Your Fibroids Instead: - Eat fibroid-fighting foods (leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, anti-inflammatory fats) - Support liver detox (drink dandelion tea, eat bitter foods, reduce alcohol) - Reduce exposure to xenoestrogens (switch to organic, clean beauty products, avoid plastics) - Manage stress (high cortisol can disrupt hormone balance) This is just a start of a hard conversation, but we need to talk about what you're eating each week. In the meantime, let me know how you're doing working through your Fibroids Factsheet. Brendalyn

Hey Free From Fibroids Community! Today on the Facebook Live, I talked about the importance of the vaginal ultrasound in today's Facebook LIVE. When is the last time you had one done? Here's the video to support how it went and how important it is! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1P8vyZgtwM/

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
