In this NEW episode of our podcast, "Don't Change a Thing," Elisa and Lily sit down with Jordan Underwood, a queer, trans, non-binary activist, model, and dancer who shares their experience being an active, healthy fat person who developed Lipodema, a disorder that led them to gain 150 pounds and become immobile. Jordan reflects on the mistreatment they’ve faced in the healthcare system due to their fatness and reveals how dangerous it is when doctor’s don’t believe their fat patients.

In this episode, we discuss the pervasive fatphobia in society within this ‘post body positive world’, the cultural obsession with thinness and recent rise in diet culture, and the vital importance of creating an inclusive society that honors and listens to the experiences of people of all bodies.
