The Dirty Truths About Chronic Pain, Medical Gaslighting & Emotional Healing | Elizabeth Endres

WATCH THE FULL-LENGTH VIDEO HERE ON YOUTUBE!

I sat down with my friend Elizabeth Endres, host of The Wellness Process, for one of the most honest and important conversations we’ve had on this podcast. Elizabeth opens up about her decades-long health journey - from chronic pelvic pain and heart issues to finding the emotional root causes of her symptoms. We unpack her experience with interstitial cystitis, mold, Lyme, and how the journal speak method helped her shift her entire relationship with wellness. This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t always linear, but with compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to look inward, freedom is possible.

Elizabeth Endres is the founder and host of The Wellness Process podcast, where she explores healing, mindset, and holistic wellness through honest, personal conversations. Originally a co-founder of Sweats & The City, Elizabeth has long been a voice in the wellness space, blending her own experiences with chronic pain and somatic healing with insights from experts across disciplines.
