Before she changed careers, Milne was completing her master’s degree in developmental psychology and education at the University of Toronto.

Evidence suggests eating an anti-inflammatory diet — including fibre-rich foods such as beans and lentils, and fatty fish like salmon and sardines — may help improve symptoms of endometriosis.
