This is how my fibroid journey began! In October of 2021 I dedicated 66 days of my life to The Fibroid Elimination Diet from Electric Phood. It consisted of a specific organic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free diet, supplemented by nutritional liquid supplements that they provided. It was an attempt to shrink, or get rid of, the fibroids in my uterus that had grown too big.
Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors “made of muscle cells and other tissues that grow within and around the muscular wall of the uterus. They are also composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue.” (@theresilientsisterhoodproj3393) “Black women are diagnosed with fibroids roughly three times as frequently as white women.” (University of Michigan Medicine) “90% of Black and 70% of white women will be diagnosed with fibroids by the age of 50.” (@thewhitedressproject)
Fibroids are a widespread health issue affecting MOST women, yet so many people don’t even know what they are, or how to identify their symptoms. Awareness is key!
