Salisa Doust joins us today to chat about the reality of a breast reduction. It is a perfect example of how from the outside we don't see all of the physical and emotional chronic issues that contributed to needing a breast reduction. We dive deeper into the stigma of breast implants versus reductions and how it feels for it to be validated as medically necessary.

Too Human for Words is the podcast where we talk to medical and health professionals, and people with lived experience. Together we go beyond our labels and discuss what makes us similar to brainstorm ways of creating stronger support systems, communities, resources, and how to improve the system.

Chronic illness, disability, invisible illness, chronic disease, critical illness and other sustained health issues that last more than three months are just human issues magnified. This is not just an illness podcast, it's a human podcast. Through these conversations we fight for inclusion and quality of life for everyone.
