Show Notes
Today's guest is an incredible social justice activist and filmmaker and, yes, another one of Amanda's brilliant friends. In her short documentary 'Blood & Guts: Exposing Endo', Meg Allan Cole sheds light on a chronic illness called Endometriosis, which impacts one out of every ten folks with a uterus (girl or boy!). Despite its frequency, 64% of doctors admit they know very little about it, meaning we all need to learn more!
In today's episode, Meg Allan Cole highlights signs and symptoms of endo so that we all, especially listening parents, can have more awareness and help identify it in their kids. She also shares her difficult, yet not uncommon, search for care while doctors kept telling her it was all in her head. Meg's Endo community has been essential for her mental health, and she invited anyone listening to join her and her Endo Mission!
