In this episode, we'll dive into the emotional rollercoaster I've been riding this week. From the struggle with medical gaslighting to the quest for a compassionate and holistic healthcare approach, I'll be sharing my journey navigating the ups and downs of dealing with doctors as a fat person.

You'll hear about my strange new symptom(s) and because of that, I'm being referred to a cardiologist. I have huge anxiety about this because in the medical professional world, 99.9% of the time they equate weight with health/wellness.

Highlights:

[00:00:36] - backstory; medical gaslighting

[00:03:57] - working with a naturopath doctor

[00:05:01] - unexpected news from doc; cardiologist referral

Today, we're diving into 3 problems I've seen with some plus-size body positivity influencers. A community that once was my saving grace (the body positivity community), is sometimes challenging to be a part of. I've lost some respect for a few body positivity influencers and I'm going to share what I see as problems.

Highlights:

[00:00:23] - Problem #1

[00:02:46] - I had/have a huge issue with a body-positive influencer, her weight loss & what came to light (my beef has nothing to do with her losing weight).

[00:06:00] - Problem #2

[00:08:07] - Problem #3 (I struggle with this one because I believe all people can be body-positive but... if we go back to the roots then this one really isn't a problem and they are right).

And hell, sometimes I feel like I don't belong in the body positivity community because I have such different views about things than some of the major influencers.
