Julie sits down with Rachel Popik and Coleen Bremner to discuss navigating systemic medical fatphobia and how to advocate for yourself and set boundaries at the doctor’s office. Rachel shares a recent experience she had with an endocrinologist and how she handled the very harmful interactions she experienced and Coleen discusses how she believes that her weight played a part in how the doctors treated her while she was in labor, giving birth to her daughter.
