Ashley’s journey with endometriosis didn’t start with answers—it started with confusion, pain, and the feeling that no one was really listening.
Her story reflects something we hear often: Feeling like your experience doesn’t quite fit into a box, and struggling to find someone who takes it seriously.
Today, we’re featuring Ashley—sharing a glimpse into her life in Arizona, and how she navigates endometriosis day to day.
What does a typical day look like for you, and what are some things you enjoy doing outside of managing your health?
I am a huge busy body so every day for me is packed full! I work two different jobs as an executive assistant and I love it! My typical day: wake up early, get a pilates workout in, take my morning supplements, read my bible, make breakfast, go on a short walk with my dogs and husband, get ready for work, in the office from 9-5, outdoor walk once I get home, shower, eat dinner, and relax. :)
What were the biggest misconceptions you had about endometriosis, and what have been your most important learnings since?
I think the biggest misconception that I had was that it was curable. Since receiving my diagnosis, I have learned that it is not curable and the only way to truly feel better is by managing symptoms. This is, of course, a great resource to learn, but it can be very discouraging to know that this will be my life forever and I can't "live a normal life" like the people around me.
Diagnosis for endometriosis can sometimes take years. What was your experience navigating that process, and what helped you advocate for your health along the way?
I'll be honest, this was a brutal process for me. Since my first symptom in 2020, it took me until 2023 to officially get diagnosed. I went to about 5 different doctors who told me that everything I felt was normal. It seemed that nobody wanted to listen to me and the pain I was dealing with every day. I ended up doing a lot of my own extensive research and figuring out that a diagnostic laparoscopic surgery was my next step. I had to stand up for myself A LOT, and it felt isolating, but in the end, I was able to find a great surgeon in my area based on my own research and he validated every single one of my symptoms.
Many women find that lifestyle factors — such as nutrition, stress management, and sleep — can play a role in how they manage symptoms. Have there been any changes in your daily routine or eating patterns that helped?
Inositol has been one of the biggest changes I have been able to see. It has completely reversed my period pain! Along with that, I have noticed that eating a full organic, grass-fed, refined sugar, and gluten-free diet helps me feel better. I also am not able to do high intensity workouts of any sort, so I stick to yoga, pilates, light resistance training, and walking.
Has learning more about the connection between metabolism and hormones changed the way you approach your routine or nutrition?
I’ve become a lot more intentional about supporting stable blood sugar throughout the day. Instead of skipping meals or relying on quick carbs, I focus on building balanced meals with enough protein, healthy fats, and fiber. This helps prevent big spikes and crashes, which I’ve learned can negatively impact hormone balance and inflammation, both of which are closely tied to my endometriosis symptoms!
@ashleymoya7 If your hormones feel all over the place, save this 🤍 Inositol has been part of my routine for 6 months & the difference is insane!!! @Bodology #hormonebalance #fyp #womenshealth #supplementsthatwork #endometriosis ♬ Keyboard_typing sound(894890) - keiichiro Akamine
When did you first discover inositol, and what impact has it had on your routine or symptoms, if any?
I discovered inositol in June of 2025 and have been taking it consistently ever since! The top 5 things I have noticed it having an impact on are: improved insulin sensitivity (no mid-day crashes), hormone balancing (regular shorter cycles and less PMS symptoms), reduced inflammation, increased mental and physical energy, and less breakouts!

Finally, what advice would you share with someone who is currently navigating endometriosis and trying to better understand how to support their body?
First, know that you’re not crazy and you’re not alone. Endometriosis is complex, and it often takes time to figure out what works for your body. Be patient with yourself, advocate for your health, and don’t be afraid to try different approaches until you find what truly helps you feel better.
Ashley’s journey shows that endometriosis is complex—and finding the right approach isn’t always easy. But her story is also a reminder that understanding your body is part of the process.
More women are learning to ask questions, stay engaged, and take an active role in their health.
That’s where Bodology comes in—offering a metabolic perspective, with tools like inositol to support you along the way.
