What Is Your Superpower?

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Strength? Resilience? The ability to navigate life’s challenges with confidence?

The truth is, your greatest superpower is already within you. It’s the ability to truly understand your body, to make informed choices, and to take control of your health in a way that allows you to thrive.

For so long, I felt like my body was working against me. Living with endometriosis and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) meant constant trial and error, trying different wellness routines, searching for relief, and always wondering what was actually going on beneath the surface.

But the real shift happened when I stopped guessing and started knowing. When I realized that having the right information is the key to unlocking my best, healthiest self.

Why These Biomarkers Matter for Chronic Illness

Here’s what Superpower tested and why it’s so critical for someone like me living with endo and hEDS:

🌀 Hormones (Cortisol, Estrogen, Testosterone, etc.)
Why it matters for endo & hEDS:
Hormonal imbalances are at the core of Endometriosis, which is an estrogen-dominant condition. Too much estrogen can worsen symptoms like pain, bloating, fatigue, and mood swings. On the flip side, hEDS is linked to cortisol dysregulation, which can lead to worsened inflammation, joint instability, and extreme fatigue. Knowing my hormone levels means I can take targeted action, adjusting my diet, supplements, and stress management strategies to work with my body instead of against it.

🌿 Nutrient Levels (Vitamin D, Omega-3s, Magnesium, etc.)
Why it matters for Endo & hEDS:
People with chronic illnesses often have nutrient deficiencies that can make symptoms worse. For example:

• Vitamin D: Critical for immune function and reducing inflammation (which drives Endo pain). Many people with Endo are severely deficient.

• Omega-3s: These fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help with Endo-related pain. They’re also crucial for joint health in hEDS.

• Magnesium: A lifesaver for muscle pain, cramps, and nerve function—especially important since both endo and hEDS can cause muscle spasms and widespread pain.

🔥 Metabolism & Blood Sugar (Glucose, Insulin Resistance, etc.)
Why it matters for Endo & hEDS:
Blood sugar instability can lead to hormonal imbalances, increased inflammation, and energy crashes, all things I want to avoid. Since endometriosis is linked to insulin resistance, keeping my blood sugar stable is key for managing symptoms. Superpower’s testing gave me clarity on whether I need to tweak my diet or supplements to better support my metabolism.

🦠 Gut Health & Inflammation Markers (CRP, Microbiome, etc.)
Why it matters for Endo & hEDS:
Endometriosis isn’t just a reproductive issue, it’s a full-body inflammatory disease. Many people with Endo also struggle with gut health issues, like IBS, SIBO, and chronic bloating due to the connection between the gut and immune system. Testing inflammation markers like CRP (C-reactive protein) helps me see if my body is in a state of high inflammation, so I can take steps to reduce it.

❤️ Heart Health (Cholesterol, Lipoproteins, etc.)
Why it matters for Endo & hEDS:
Many people don’t realize that endometriosis is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Since chronic inflammation and hormone imbalances can impact heart health, tracking markers like cholesterol and lipoproteins gives me a proactive way to protect my future well-being.

Why This Matters & What’s Next

Getting these insights with Superpower has been a game-changer for me. Instead of guessing, I now have real data that allows me to make informed decisions about my health.

What’s even better? I didn’t have to go to a doctor’s office or wait weeks for results. Superpower sent a health specialist straight to my home to draw my blood, and within one week, I had a personalized health report in my dashboard. No waiting, no stress. Just clear, actionable insights to help me optimize my wellness.

But here’s what really matters: your greatest Superpower is knowledge. Having this level of data means I’m no longer at the mercy of trial and error or doctors telling me “everything looks fine” when I know something isn’t right. It means I can take control, make informed choices, and show up as my best self, not just for my health, but for my life.

When you live with a chronic illness, the most powerful thing you can do is shift your mindset. Yes, the challenges are real. Yes, some days are harder than others. But the more you understand your body, the more you can work with it rather than against it. Having this information isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about unlocking the best possible version of yourself.

If you’re someone who deals with chronic pain, fatigue, hormone imbalances, or inflammation, I can’t recommend Superpower enough. And because I’m partnering with them, I have exclusive early access to help you skip the 150K-person waitlist.
