Listen "Schooling Trolls and Fighting Fatphobia One TikTok at a Time"
Episode Synopsis
Through blogs and TikTok videos Brena Jean discusses what it means to be one of the millions of people living with lipedema.
The rarely diagnosed chronic disorder affects mostly women and causes fat cells within the body to build up and harden instead of burn; it's often confused with obesity or lymphedema.
As a result, many people living with lipedema don't know they have it. Or, in Brena Jean's case, she recognized the condition but struggled to prove it to medical professionals.
This week, Brean Jean and I discuss how she's taking internet trolls to school and what it means to fight fatphobia within the American healthcare system.
