The Australian Guide to Living Well with Endometriosis

‘I wish I had access to information about living well with endo sooner. There was nothing like this available to me when I was diagnosed at a young age. This book will be amazing for those on their endo journey.’ — Kayla Itsines, personal trainer, author and co-founder of Sweat

‘The impact of endometriosis on the lives and wellbeing of women is profound. Despite this, many aspects of the disease are poorly understood, and high-quality treatments are lacking. Maree Davenport shines a light on this complex disease with informed input from a wide range of stakeholders. Essential reading for anyone wanting to understand more about living with endometriosis.’ — Peter A W Rogers, Professor of Women’s Health Research, University of Melbourne; Director of Research, Royal Women's Hospital; Founding Director, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health

‘This book will be life-changing for women of all ages. It will help end the silent suffering that’s been the “women’s lot” for generations.’ — Associate Professor Magdalena Simonis AM, women’s health expert; Department of General Practice and Primary Care, University of Melbourne.

‘I wish this book had existed when I was younger, lost in the maze of pain and uncertainty, searching for answers. It might have been the guide I needed while navigating the long road to diagnosis and understanding my own body. May this book provide some guidance and support on your endo journey.’ —Ellie Angel Mobbs, award-winning broadcaster and podcaster

'A useful, usable companion for all those with endometriosis or caring for someone with endometriosis.' — Professor Jason Abbott, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, UNSW Sydney Australia
