Can a plant-based diet reduce pain from endometriosis?
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is recruiting participants in the Washington, D.C., area for a 12-week research study. This study will explore the effect of a low-fat, plant-based diet on symptoms of endometriosis including pain and inflammation.
Join this no-cost research study to see if a change in nutrition can reduce endometriosis-related pain and improve quality of life!
Weekly virtual Zoom meetings will be hosted by our multidisciplinary clinical research team. Qualified participants randomly assigned to the plant-based diet group will receive:
- Study-related online group support sessions each week
- A one-on-one consultation with a dietitian
- Lab tests to check specific study-related health measures
- Cooking demonstrations
- Nutrition and meal planning education
If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, live in the Washington, D.C. area, and are not currently following a low-fat, plant-based diet, please fill out the interest survey and one of our research coordinators will contact you!
Learn more and find out if you qualify to participate at PCRM.org/Endometriosis or 202-527-7385.
The Physicians Committee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, headquartered in Washington, DC. We are dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
