UnabridgedMD
Bringing Hope, driven by science. Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. Dr. Amigues is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. She is the founder and CEO of UnabridgedMD.

Trusting the Intuition: Stacy’s Journey from Dismissal to Diagnosis
In this heartfelt episode of UnabridgedMD: Stories of Hope, Dr. Isabelle Amigues is joined by Stacy—a patient, medical professional, and fierce self-advocate—who shares her powerful story of persistence through years of being dismissed by providers despite debilitating symptoms.
Stacy opens up about the emotional toll of being told “you’re fine” when she clearly wasn’t, and how trusting her intuition ultimately led her to the right care. With a deep background in medicine, Stacy reveals how the system’s fragmentation, lack of holistic care, and quick-to-dismiss attitudes made the journey frustrating and isolating.

The danger of gaslighting in medicine—especially for women
The limits of siloed care and the power of integrative diagnosis
