Can Period Blood Hold the Key to Diagnosing Endometriosis without Surgery? With Dr Harini Bhat

In this episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, Abbey sits down with pharmacist and science communicator Dr. Harini Bhat to unpack one of the most misunderstood and underfunded conditions in women’s health — endometriosis. Together, they explore why women’s pain is still dismissed, how wellness culture preys on desperation, and what real science says about managing symptoms. From breakthrough research like the ROSE Study (Research OutSmarts Endometriosis) to the truth behind “endo diets,” Abbey and Dr. Bhat challenge misinformation, celebrate progress, and call for a future where women’s health is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
