Reviews:
“Jessica is a brilliant recipe developer, and explains clearly and with compassion how to use food as medicine to support endometriosis healing and symptom relief. Her recipes are delicious with inspiring and beautiful photography. She generously shares her experience with other people struggling with endometriosis and challenges the status quo to innovate healing for herself and everyone in the endo warrior community.” — Dr. Jessica Drummond, founder of The Integrative Women’s Health Institute
“Let me start by saying how helpful I see this book being to those with Endo. I found so many helpful tips in here that I feel will guide me going forward. Using dairy free ingredients for smoothies has always been difficult for me. I’ve tried to use dairy alternatives in the past and they never worked out in a tasteful way. That is different with your recipes. The end result was astronomical. The pumpkin pie smoothie tasted exactly like the real thing, and I even made one for my husband and he wanted seconds!’ — Allie, endo warrior
“I can’t believe how much information you have included in this book and I am so grateful!" — Kim, endo warrior
“I was blown away. I presumed it would just be a few simple recipes and some background information. I was pleasantly surprised with all the detailed descriptions of why different things were good for you and the extra resources for further reading. The introduction alone was phenomenal; it was personal, heartfelt and had the genuine feeling that someone wants to help without an agenda, just out of love and shared pain/experience.” — Tori, endo warrior
"When you have endometriosis, it can be so hard to find a resource that explains everything you need to know that also provides helpful solutions. It can all be so overwhelming, but Jess breaks it all down so you can understand every factor that plays a role in managing endometriosis. She’s been a lifesaver when it comes to understanding my endometriosis and trying to take steps to reduce my pain! I really thought this book was wonderful. It’s exactly what this community needed.” — Paige, endo warrior
