What happens when the medical system sees your body as the problem before you even speak? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne shares her recent experience navigating healthcare as a fat, neurodivergent woman—and the toll of being met with medical gaslighting, invalidation, and bias at every turn. From sensory overload in clinical settings to the exhaustion of advocating for basic care, this episode explores the intersection of fatphobia, ableism, and chronic pain in medical spaces. If you’ve ever felt unseen or blamed in a doctor’s office, you’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone.

🎧 Tune in for real talk about:

Fatphobia and anti-fat bias in medical care

How neurodivergence and sensory sensitivities shape the healthcare experience

The emotional and physical cost of medical gaslighting

Why naming these patterns is a step toward collective healing
