(Don’t worry, Emily will be back on Thursday’s episode.) Lizzie opens up about living with Marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy syndrome, a condition that prevents her from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. They discuss Lizzie’s experiences with bullying online and IRL and how she stopped letting other people define her. Later, Remy asks about Lizzie’s book Choosing Happiness, and Lizzie shares what she’s learned about mental health since writing the book in college.
