There are so many illnesses that often go undiagnosed for a long period of time. Sometimes, we have symptoms, pain, or things happening to our body, yet we write it off as something that will just “go away”, but often it’s on the doctor's side that diagnosis is missed.  My guest in this episode is Christina Paruag, and she’s sharing her story about her endometriosis diagnosis and the journey it took for her to get there. She’s raising awareness for all women to pay attention to signs and signals our bodies are trying to show us. Christina is a content creator, public speaker and endometriosis advocate.
