About this course
Many women with endometriosis arrive at care having already been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told their pain was normal. That experience is its own injury. In this Save the Uterus Club session, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon Dr. Mallory Stuparich joins Dr. Naomi Whittaker to name medical trauma directly and show what trauma-informed, restorative care looks like in practice.
Across eight lessons you'll learn how gaslighting and diagnostic delay compound into real harm, the neurobiology that links chronic stress to inflammatory disease, and concrete ways clinicians can meet patients where they are. Dr. Stuparich also examines the case for subspecialty care, the future of women's health, provider burnout, and the emerging neuroimmune model of endometriosis with the adjunct therapies it opens up.
For patients, it is validation and a vocabulary for what you've been through. For clinicians, it is a practical model for care that treats the person, not just the pathology.
