• Resumen

  • Welcome to the very first episode of The Medical Detectives!

    In this powerful first episode, co-hosts Dr. Nance and Anna flip the script and Dr. Nance interviews Anna about her extraordinary health journey. Anna spent years struggling in her body, before finally deciding to get help, which sent her on a whole other journey trying to crack the mystery of her diagnosis. Anna opens up about her experiences with confronting medical bias, navigating being a public figure while living with a chronic illness, and grappling with the shame that often comes with living in a bigger body.

    Discover how she overcame shame, fear, and repeated misdiagnoses to finally find compassionate healthcare providers who looked beyond her size. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or misunderstood on your own path to wellness, Anna’s story will bring you hope and validation. Tune in for an honest conversation about women’s health, body acceptance, and the power of self-advocacy—plus the surprising twists and setbacks that make Anna’s story one you won’t want to miss.

Raw & Real Feelings

Anna, thank you for sharing your story; especially the depressing parts — feeling like you are at the end of your rope, that you cannot emotionally handle one more terrible experience, thinking maybe being alive isn’t enough or right — these are such lonely feelings. It is comforting to know there are others out there struggling and feeling these things too.

I am ready to see where this podcast goes, all of the stories, and how many it can help. Shout out from a Dating Detectives fangirl!

the honestly about her experience.

unfortunately healthcare is no longer for individuals but as a group. doctors tend to think inside the box and it's no fault of their own. doctors no longer guide healthcare but insurances do. doctors want their reimbursement for services rendered, they probably started with good intentions and healthcare insurances say you can but at your cost not at ours.
I'm so glad Anna came on about her care. I'm looking forward to more of these episodes. I hope Anna helps more people coming out about her genenetic disorder, it's clear her disorder is genenetic not by choice. Best of luck Anna.

It's not about the donut

Honest. What an amazing story of preserverance, determintion, and tenacity. You knew something wasn't quite right even though doctors tried to blame something unrelated. The questioning of what is normal and expected is so relatable. Your willingness to show the more vulnerable sides is remarkable. I'm rooting for you....and me.

Really?

I am familiar with Anna’s story and just listened to another version of it. Each time the story spins it changes. I would like to hear the same story twice. Oh and BTW Anna the bagel comments were precipitated by your snarky vid of you eating your free bagels and talking about karma. That was childish
