It explains the medical side of endometriosis and how lifestyle factors may impact the disease -- it answers the ""why"" of this condition . Part 2 consists of an integrative lifestyle plan to manage symptoms and potentially slow or halt endometriosis disease progression. You'll learn how to strengthen your body and optimize your health through detoxification and stress reduction, effective exercise and helpful supplements and much more . Part 3 focuses on food and its impact on endometriosis. Andrew and Danielle have developed a scientifically based diet targeted to specifically address the many factors associated with the development of the disease.
