In this episode of Amplified, host Ellen Masson speaks with Samantha Jurkovic, who shares her deeply personal experiences with weight stigma in healthcare. Together, they explore how weight-centric care has impacted her emotional well-being, her relationship with her body, and her willingness to seek medical help.

The conversation highlights the harm caused when healthcare professionals make assumptions based on weight and dismiss patients’ concerns. But it also offers hope, showcasing how size-inclusive care fosters dignity, respect, and better health outcomes for patients in larger bodies.
If you’ve ever felt unseen or dismissed in a medical setting, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your experience matters — and that healthcare can, and must, do better.
