Jemma Bowles spent two decades bouncing between doctors before anyone said the word endometriosis. She was hospitalized for suspected appendicitis more than once. She was told to take a bath. Nobody put it together until her dad saw an article and asked if it sounded familiar.

In this episode, Jemma joins Callie Greenberg and Jaime Silva to talk about what it actually took to get diagnosed, why she chose to wait on surgery and how she and her co-founder Will Nixon built ENdi, an app designed specifically for endometriosis patients after every period tracker on the market failed her.

They get into the difference between NHS and private care in the UK, the ring binder folder she used to carry to every appointment, and the emergency feature in the app built for the moments she collapses without warning.

This episode covers a lot of ground: diagnosis delays, healthcare access, chronic pain, and what it looks like to build something because nothing else did the job.

This episode reflects Jemma's personal experience and the app is not medical advice. It is for educational use and support only. Please talk to a doctor about your own symptoms and treatment options.
