How did you figure that out?

A lot of times fat people are not actually spoken to or talked to about their actual experiences.

And that was something that I really saw, you know, when you're doing a dissertation project, they want you to look for gaps in the literature.

And what I really found was there is a lot of quantitative, so like statistical analysis and even some qualitative, which is what I do.

I did semi-structured interviews with fat patients.

And I can talk to you about who those people are in a sec, but I'm really interested in talking to fat people and what I found was that there was a real gap in that often a lot of studies would talk about You know, they talk about obesity as something that started at a BMI of 30 and then it would be a monolith.

And so they would not really be thinking about how someone with a BMI of 30 has a drastically different experience of the doctor than someone who has a BMI of 40 or 50.

on that note is that kind of the things that you're that you're hoping your research the body of research you're contributing to can change yeah
