..."From Medical Gaslighting."

Ever been told to “just relax” while your body is staging a full-on rebellion? Welcome to the chronic illness rite of passage we didn’t ask for: medical gaslighting. In this episode of I’d Like to Unsubscribe, we’re rolling our eyes (lovingly) at every doctor who’s ever said, “You're fine - your labs are normal,” while you’re over here feeling like a science experiment gone wrong.

We’re unpacking why medical gaslighting is so sneaky (it’s rarely a full-on “you’re crazy” moment—it’s more of a condescending head tilt paired with, “You’re probably just tired”), and why it’s not just frustrating—it’s dangerous. Because being dismissed, doubted, or flat-out ignored doesn’t just hurt your feelings—it delays diagnoses and wrecks trust in the people who are supposed to help.

Expect real talk, receipts (hello, science!), and a few choice words about the whole “you’re just hormonal” excuse. We’ll share tools to help you spot gaslighting in the wild, boundary-setting tips for your next appointment, and how to find providers who treat you like a human being—not a malfunctioning machine.

So if you’ve ever walked out of an exam room feeling more confused and invisible than when you walked in, this one’s for you. Because you’re not imagining it. It’s not all in your head. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
