I battled uterine fibroids for five years. When I was first diagnosed, I didn't quite understand what fibroids were, and when surgery was suggested as a treatment option, I was overwhelmed with fear.

During my postgraduate studies at the University of San Francisco, I decided to focus my school project on uterine fibroids. I wanted to get a better grasp of what was happening in my own body, so I started researching fibroids while also trying out various remedies I had heard or read about that might help.

I experimented with everything—diet changes, vitamin D, herbal remedies, and hormonal treatments. In this book, I share my personal journey with each approach and highlight what medical research has revealed about fibroids, their symptoms, and different treatment options.

In the final chapters, I walk you through my path to finally getting rid of my fibroids and regaining my quality of life. If you're dealing with fibroids, you know how much their symptoms can disrupt everyday activities.

I hope that my story and the information in this book will help you better understand fibroids, make informed decisions about your health, and find your own way to feeling well again.
