By doing so, they harness the power of community and knowledge to break through barriers and achieve sustainable health.

How we got here

Lauren McTigue (she, her, hers)

Founder and CEO, NTP, RYT 500

Half of Us Collective emerged from my 16-year struggle with endometriosis, often dismissed by doctors as “painful periods.” Despite trying alternative health modalities, relief was elusive until I met a holistic nutritionist who recommended endometriosis laparoscopic surgery, marking a significant turning point.

As a Nutritional Therapist with a background in food science, and community development, I know that while surgery was crucial, nutritional and holistic approaches are vital in managing endometriosis. I advocate for a comprehensive approach that includes medical interventions, lifestyle adjustments, and community support.

My journey taught me about the impacts of restrictive diets, false health claims, and societal norms that minimize women+'s suffering. This highlighted the importance of community support and addressing gender inequities in medical care.

I can't promise a cure, but I can offer relief of symptoms and companionship. Together, we can navigate systemic gender inequalities, find solutions to live in peace with your body, and learn to live and heal in community.
