- Christina Paruag shares her personal journey of dealing with chronic pain caused by endometriosis. When she was younger, she wanted to become a doctor and even played with toy medical supplies to practice. But, her dream was put on hold when she started experiencing stomach cramps and excruciating pain that would cause her to be bedridden for up to 21 days a month. It took years for her to finally receive a diagnosis of endometriosis, which is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing severe pain.
Paruag explains how her condition made her feel isolated and how some doctors were dismissive of her pain, which made her feel even worse. But, through it all, she learned to listen to her body and adopted a holistic approach to healing. Instead of feeling like a failure for not being able to become a doctor, she decided to use her experiences to create a platform and publication called STEM Evolved, which aims to normalize conversations around taboo topics like sex and menstruation.
Through her journey, Paruag learned that our struggles and challenges can shape us into the person we are meant to become. She encourages viewers to embrace their challenges, learn from them, and use them to grow into the person they are meant to be.
