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.

Medical gaslighting is one of the most discussed topics in modern healthcare but what does it actually look like?
In this powerful episode of the Unabridged MD podcast, Dr. Isabelle Amigues sits down with Dr. Uzma Khan, psychiatrist, obesity medicine specialist, and menopause expert, to discuss:
• How gaslighting presents in medical settings
• Why women are often told “it’s just anxiety”
• The weight bias problem in healthcare
• Perimenopause and menopause symptoms being dismissed
• How to advocate for yourself effectively
• When it’s time to change providers
• The connection between trust, healing, and outcomes
Dr. Khan shares 4 practical strategies to help patients feel heard and respected in medical appointments, including how to present patterns instead of vague symptoms, how to challenge respectfully, and why being a “reliable historian” is more powerful than being a “Google reciter.”
This conversation dives into obesity stigma, psychiatric medication weight gain, hormone imbalance, menopause symptoms, and the systemic dismissal of women’s health concerns.
If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling brushed off, minimized, or unheard — this episode is for you.
You are the MVP of your healthcare team.
