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.
