Calling In Sick

Autumn Weimann on Endometriosis & The Mind-Body Connection


Listen Later

This week on Calling in Sick, we’re diving deep into a condition that’s often misunderstood, minimized, or completely missed: endometriosis. I’m joined by the wonderful Autumn Weimann (@grlwithbangs)—naturopathic doctor (@period.prep), clean beauty founder (@Banginhair.shop), and advocate for body-literate healing.

Autumn shares her powerful story of navigating chronic pain and years of unanswered questions before being diagnosed with endometriosis, and taking her healing into her own hands. We trace her journey from feeling unheard in medical offices to becoming her own best advocate, healer, and educator.
In this episode, we talk:
🩸 What endometriosis actually feels like (and why it’s so often missed)
💔 The emotional toll of misdiagnosis and mistrust in your body
🌿 Why Autumn pivoted into naturopathic medicine
💄 Launching a clean beauty brand grounded in hormone health
🧠 Reconnecting with your body when it’s been the source of so much pain
Whether you’ve experienced chronic pain or just want to better understand your body, this episode is a must-listen. You deserve care that believes you, honors your intuition, and supports your whole self.
Thanks for Calling in Sick with us this week 💛
xx,Alex
