Yes, I'm Fat. Yes, I'm in Pain. No, They're Not Related.

In this powerful episode, I examine the critical intersection of fatness, chronic pain, and medical bias. Drawing from both my professional expertise as a doctor and my personal experience with frozen shoulder, I expose how the medical system frequently fails fat patients seeking pain management – not through lack of treatment options, but through prejudice and assumptions.

Key moments:

• How doctors make assumptions about fat patients in pain [6:00]
• The medical trauma cycle and delayed care [9:18]
• The three types of pain: nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic [13:20]
• Your rights as a patient with chronic pain [20:01]
• Practical steps for getting proper assessment and treatment [23:22]
• Ask Me Anything [34:21]
• Eveything You've Been Told About Weight Loss Is A Lie [39:14]
