    • Endo Belly Isn't Just Bloat, Gut Health & Pelvic Floor Truths with Dr. Ginger Garner

      Endo Belly Isn't Just Bloat, Gut Health & Pelvic Floor Truths with Dr. Ginger Garner
      Jan 11 2026

      Season 2, Ep 23

      Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

      This week on The Chronic Chronicles, I'm joined by Dr. Ginger Garner, a physical therapist, integrative medicine advocate, and self-proclaimed "vocal pelvic floor therapist." And trust me, she brings so much knowledge.

      We talk all things endo belly, gut health, and pelvic pain, including why both of us no longer have our gallbladders and how that may actually connect back to endometriosis (wild, I know). We also get real about the systemic issues in women's health, why traditional pelvic floor PT sometimes falls short, and how Ginger blends science, holistic care, and trauma-informed therapy to help her patients heal.

      If you've ever been told that your bloat is just "normal," your pain is "in your head," or that your only options are hormonal meds and ablation, this one's for you.

      ✨ Topics we cover:

      • What "endo belly" really is (hint: it's not just gas)

      • Pelvic floor therapy for endo, PCOS & chronic pain

      • How gallbladder removal might be connected to endo

      • Why managing inflammation takes more than one approach

      • Sleep, the vagus nerve & nervous system regulation

      • Gut microbiome & pelvic pain

      • Advocating for integrative, whole-body care

      • Reclaiming your voice in the exam room

      Whether you're newly diagnosed or deep in the trenches, I hope this episode leaves you feeling validated, informed, and not alone.

    • Why Excision Surgery Isn't Covered: The Broken System Behind Endometriosis Care

      Why Excision Surgery Isn't Covered: The Broken System Behind Endometriosis Care
      Dec 30 2025

      Season 2, Ep 22

      Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

      In today's episode, I'm diving deep into one of the biggest and least understood barriers in endometriosis care: why excision surgery (the gold standard treatment) is normally not covered by insurance. We'll talk about how the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) system works, why excision and ablation are still billed under the same code, and the history of bias and misunderstanding in gynecology that led us here. I'll also break down what the AMA, ACOG, payers, and policymakers have (and haven't) done and why this matters for every single person with endo. We'll cover the real reasons behind high out-of-pocket costs, the financial strain on surgeons performing complex excision, and what everyday people can do to push for change right now. Sources:

      • ACOG Committee Opinions on Endometriosis Diagnosis & Management

      • Surgeon reimbursement data published in health policy analyses

    • The Body in Motion: Running, Chronic Illness & Self-Trust

      The Body in Motion: Running, Chronic Illness & Self-Trust
      Dec 18 2025

      Season 2, Ep 21

      Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

      In this episode, I'm joined by Kate, a physical therapist, strength coach, and runner living with chronic illnesses. Kate had to step away from outpatient PT work after a long road to diagnosis, and now supports others through personalized coaching that centers on pacing, energy awareness, and compassionate movement.

      We cover so much in this episode, including my own experience training for my first 5K while navigating a POTS flare, and how Kate's coaching philosophy helps people find the "middle ground" in movement: not giving up on your body, but not pushing it past its limits either.

      We dive into:

      • Rebuilding a relationship with movement after chronic illness diagnosis

      • Hypermobility and running; what's possible, and what to be mindful of

      • Strength training as an anchor for the hypermobile community

      • Why increased muscle mass can support blood flow and reduce POTS symptoms

      • Learning your "energy envelope" and the stoplight method for pacing

      • The emotional nuance of living in the "both/and" space, not falling into victimhood, but also not bypassing the hard stuff

      • How community and coaching can offer structure, support, and softness all at once

      Whether you're new to movement, curious about chronic illness coaching, or just feeling a little alone in your training journey, this episode is for you. It's honest, hopeful, and full of gems from someone who really gets it.
