How I Reduced Fibroids Naturally: A Personal Case Study in Stress, Hormones, and Nervous System Healing
Disclaimer: This is my personal experience, shared for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare professional.
A Body That Was Once Fine
In March 2023, my uterus was completely normal.
I know this because I proactively requested a transvaginal ultrasound after someone close to me was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I understood how quietly women’s health issues can develop—and I wanted certainty.
The scan showed no fibroids.
No cysts.
Nothing of concern.
At the time, I had no idea how much my body would soon be asked to carry.
When Life Outpaces the Nervous System
In June 2023, my mother passed away suddenly from gross misconduct by someone in her care team after years living with Alzheimer’s.
In 2024, my best friend died suddenly and tragically. I had been both their caregivers, traveling between Los Angeles and London every few weeks.
Grief like that doesn’t always explode, especially if you are someone who has been brought up to be stoic and #KeepCalmAndCarryOn!
You function.
You cope.
You keep moving.
By mid-2025, under a new wave of intense stress, my body finally spoke.
I began a period that did not stop for 58 days.
An emergency scan revealed uterine fibroids. Blood work showed late perimenopause and early signs of insulin resistance.
Nothing life-threatening—but a clear signal that something was no longer in balance.
Wellness Was Already My Baseline
This part is important.
I didn’t suddenly “discover” health in 2025.
For years, I had lived a Mediterranean-style, anti-inflammatory lifestyle—prioritising nutrition, movement, sunlight, sleep, and nervous system care. Supplements were already part of my routine.
This wasn’t about starting from zero.
It was about precision.
What changed wasn’t my philosophy—but how I applied it during a very specific life stage.
What I Changed (And Why It Mattered)
Some adjustments were guided by my doctor, including the introduction of targeted support for estrogen metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Alongside that, I took responsibility for understanding my own data—reviewing blood work, scans, and patterns carefully.
Rather than reacting in panic, I focused on building a coherent, systems-based response.
Targeted Support for Key Systems
The following were introduced or refined to support the biological systems linked to fibroid growth:
Berberine — supporting insulin sensitivity and metabolic regulation
Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol — supporting ovarian function and glucose balance
DIM — supporting healthy estrogen metabolism
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) — supporting liver function and oxidative stress
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) — reducing inflammation and supporting hormone signalling
AHCC — supporting immune function and cellular resilience
These were not random additions—but part of a targeted, coordinated approach.
Everything else—my diet, lifestyle, and foundational habits—remained consistent.
Why Fibroids Grow: A Systems Biology Perspective
Fibroids don’t grow for one reason.
They grow when multiple systems are out of balance.
I focused on four key drivers simultaneously:
1. Metabolic Function
Fibroids are highly responsive to insulin. Elevated insulin can act as a growth signal.
By improving insulin sensitivity, I reduced one of the primary drivers of fibroid development.
2. Hormone Processing
This wasn’t about lowering estrogen entirely—but improving how it was metabolised.
Supporting detoxification pathways helped ensure hormones were processed and cleared efficiently.
3. Immune Function
Once metabolic and hormonal drivers were reduced, the immune system appeared better able to regulate abnormal tissue.
4. Nervous System Regulation
This was the missing piece.
Chronic stress keeps the body in a constant state of survival. Elevated cortisol disrupts hormonal balance, suppresses healing, and signals the body to prioritize protection over repair.
Through breathwork, yoga, emotional processing, creativity, and a slower rhythm of life, my body shifted out of that state.
Healing does not happen when the body feels unsafe.
Daily Practices That Supported the Shift
Rather than extreme changes, I focused on consistency.
Morning Ritual
A daily anti-inflammatory juice to support blood sugar, inflammation, and nourishment.
Evening Ritual
Castor oil packs used several times a week—not as a “detox,” but as a signal of rest, warmth, and parasympathetic activation.
Emotional & Nervous System Work
Breath-led yoga
Subconscious and emotional processing
Creative expression through art
Time in slower environments (including Italy)
These weren’t separate from the healing.
They were central to it.
What the Medical Data Showed
After approximately four months:
Fibroids reduced by approximately 75–90%
Ovarian cysts were significantly reduced from 2 medium to one tiny one
Uterine size decreased
Metabolic markers improved
Medically, this level of regression in this timeframe is considered rare without surgical or hormonal intervention. On returning to my doctor, just under four months from him initially suggesting a full hysterectomy, he just looked at me and said, “There is nothing here for me to treat! “
A Systems-Based Explanation
This wasn’t one change.
It was the combination of:
improved insulin sensitivity
optimised hormone metabolism
reduced inflammation
enhanced immune response
sustained nervous system regulation
When these systems shift together, the results compound.
The Missing Link: Safety
The most important change wasn’t a supplement.
It was this:
My body finally felt safe.
The Karma Besos Perspective
This experience didn’t change my philosophy.
It confirmed it.
The Karma Besos lifestyle is about creating the conditions for the body to regulate, repair, and restore:
rhythm over urgency
refinement over restriction
awareness over reaction
beauty, pleasure, and presence without guilt
Healing isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about doing the right things—consistently, and at the right time.
Private Work
This experience informed my private work within the Karma Besos framework.
I work with a small number of women in high-performance environments, navigating stress, hormonal shifts, and nervous system dysregulation.
