We Read the Comments…

This week, we’re doing something a little different. Alyssa is reading listener comments out loud, and Julio is responding to them in real time. No prep, no script, just honest reactions to the things people say about obesity, body size, food, accountability, and “just having more self-control.” In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, we get into the comments that a lot of people think… but don’t always say out loud.

Big Guy Summer Starts Here

Summer can feel different when you're a bigger person. The shorts. The shirts. The pool parties. The beach vacations. The backyard barbecues. The patio furniture.

From years of leg pain that led to the discovery of a neurofibroma on his spine, to conversations about weight, referrals, therapy, and self-advocacy, this episode is all about being heard.

In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio shares one of the most frustrating experiences of his weight loss journey, gaining 26 pounds between doctor visits, being questioned by professionals, and feeling like nobody was actually listening.
