In this raw and vulnerable episode, Alyssa opens up about the often-ignored reality of size discrimination in medicine. She shares how living in a larger body impacts medical care, mental health, and self-worth — and how one compassionate doctor helped her start seeing herself through a different lens. This isn’t about weight loss advice. It’s about dignity. It’s about being treated like a whole person. It’s about remembering that your worth was never tied to your weight.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in a room that was supposed to care for you, this one’s for you.
