March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Did you know this condition affects 1 in 10 women?
Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain, fertility issues, and significantly impact quality of life.
Megan Davenport, MISCP, Senior Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health at Blackrock Clinic, sheds light on the condition and its symptoms:
“Endometriosis can affect women at any age, from puberty to menopause, though its impact may persist throughout life. It is not just “bad period pain”—it is a long-term condition, and each person’s experience with endometriosis is different.
Women with endometriosis experience a wide range of symptoms, with the most commonly recognised including:
– Heavy periods (needing to change pads/tampons every hour or so)
– Painful periods that interfere with daily activities
– Pelvic, abdominal or back pain, sometimes radiating down the thighs
– Pain during or after sex
– Pain with urination or having a bowel motion
Fatigue, bloating and nausea can also be experienced as well as anxiety and depression.

Do you miss seeing a stack of pancakes on the brunch table? Now you don’t have to. These grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free pancakes are the perfect guilt-free treat. They’re easy to make, and the whole family will love them. Yum!
Ingredients
3 large omega-3 eggs ¾ cup almond milk ½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ½ cup coconut flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda Pinch of sea salt ¼ cup roughly chopped walnuts coconut oil, for greasing the skillet (about ¼ cup) 1 pint fresh blueberries ½ cup arrowroot 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the almond milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk until well-blended. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and arrowroot. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, ¼ cup at a time, while continuously whisking. Once combined, gently fold in the walnuts.
Grease a large skillet and place over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, use a ladle to pour 3-inch pancakes onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear, then flip. The pancake should cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with rest of the batter. Add a tablespoon or more of coconut oil to the hot griddle, as needed.
Make a blueberry sauce by simmering the blueberries in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water for 10 minutes before serving.
To serve, place 3 pancakes on a plate and top each stack with the blueberry sauce.
