Have you ever felt dismissed or shamed by a doctor simply because of your weight?
In this powerful episode of Isn't She Powerful, host Laura sits down with a former Seismic Shift client to unpack her emotional journey through years of being ignored and misdiagnosed by the medical system.

Despite struggling with real, persistent health symptoms, Jenn was repeatedly told that weight loss was the only solution. Her doctor pushed weight loss medication—without digging into the deeper issues that were truly affecting her health. These experiences led her to develop a deep mistrust in doctors, especially those who focused more on her body size than her actual wellbeing.

In their conversation, Laura and Jenn explore:

  • How weight stigma in healthcare delayed her healing
  • The emotional toll of medical gaslighting and being dismissed
  • What it felt like to be blamed for symptoms instead of believed
  • The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild trust in herself
  • How Seismic Shift gave her the tools to reconnect with her body, advocate for her needs, and finally feel seen

This episode is for anyone who has ever:

  • Felt unheard or judged in a doctor’s office
  • Been offered a quick fix instead of a real solution
  • Struggled with body image after repeated medical shame
  • Wanted to approach health from a more empowered, holistic place
