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
[00:06:14] - why I'm struggling with waiting for a cardiologist appt (eating disordered, disordered eating related)
[00:10:23] - the biggest struggle right now (focusing on health without it being weight loss/body size related)
And hey, before I forget – I would LOVE it if you would take a few minutes to leave a review of the show on your favorite podcast app. And of course, don’t forget to subscribe too, so you get notified when new episodes get published.
