March was endometriosis awareness month. And I spe

March was endometriosis awareness month. And I spent the first few days of it gazing out my hotel window and at the New York City skyline. I was so excited to be in Hoboken attending The Endometriosis Summit. An annual conference that unites the very best endo healthcare providers and advocates with patients.

I was there with my advocate hat on.
I was fully immersed.
I was ready to share it all with you.
And then the virus happened.

Our month of awareness was completely overshadowed (and with good cause) overnight. The irony was not lost on the endo community. The truth is we’re used to this. We’re used to not having answers. And reasonable treatment options. And adequate care. We’re used to suffering on the sidelines.

And when the virus passes and everyone goes back to living their lives - we’ll still be here fighting like hell for ours.

Endometriosis is a complex disease in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus (but not the same as) are found outside the uterus. Endometriosis is an extra pelvic, full body disease. Endometriosis is not a painful period disease. You do not need to have a uterus, menstruate or identify as a woman to have endometriosis. Endometriosis requires surgery to diagnose. Endometriosis does not have a cure.

If you follow anyone online or if your doctor in real life says differently - unfollow them and find a new doctor. If you need help finding an endometriosis specialist (OBGYNs are not endo specialists) send me a message. I’ll help you however I can.

Some great resources, advocates, surgeons and specialists that lead the pack in endometriosis care, research and advocacy are:

IT’S VALENTINE’S DAY YOU GUYS! This day has always been special to me no matter if I am partnered or single or otherwise - because it’s my little sister’s birthday and she embodies love. I hope you get to hug someone you care about today. And maybe eat some chocolate. Or take a bath alone. You know whatever love means to you. Do more of that. I am gonna make this vegan chocolate mousse made with aquafaba and topped with hibiscus soaked blood oranges because it’s spills love. And you can make it too. // Click the link at @shercastellano and then tap the image for the recipe.

TODAY IS THE SECOND ANNUAL #NationalCheddarDay! And I’m celebrating because there’s always room in my life for cheese. Because eating cheese makes me happy. No really - eating cheese helps release dopamine! For dinner tonight I’m gonna upgrade my tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons made from @tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Sharp Cheddar Slices. I trust Tillamook because they use the highest quality ingredients. And milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones. I hope you love them as much as I do. // In partnership with @Tillamook. #TillamookCheese #Ad

I’LL START - I FEEL ANGRY. I AM angry. I am angr

I’LL START - I FEEL ANGRY. I AM angry. I am angry at how the medical community failed me. At how it continues to fail me. I am angry at the government for not giving a damn. And for the lack of funding dedicated to endo for proper and unbiased research.

I am angry about the years I’ve lost to my disease. And I am angry that my body no longer feels like mine.

Feeling angry is just as powerful as feeling happy. Or positive. And for those who face adversity - maybe even more powerful. Anger can be motivating. And anger can illicit change. Anger is a valid emotion.

How do you feel today? Drop it on me below. All feelings matter. Not just the ones that are labeled as - good.

IF YOU’RE GONNA DRINK BUBBLES tonight - make them golden. Champagne (or prosecco or sparkling white of any kind) infused with a special blend of turmeric and ginger and cinnamon and black peppercorn. It’s effervescent and warming. And the perfect way to say goodbye to a decade and hello to a new one. // Click the link at @shercastellano and then tap the image for the recipe.
