Made Visible

Author and patient advocate Ilana Jacqueline experienced medical gaslighting from a young age. At age 19 she was diagnosed with Hypogammaglobulinemia, a rare immunodeficiency.  While navigating young adulthood with an invisible illness, Ilana also faced lots of medical gaslighting, encountering doctors who shamed her out of seeking care. Ilana has devoted her career to patient advocacy. Through her work, as well as public speaking, social media, and writing books (Surviving and Thriving with an Invisible Chronic Illness, and the upcoming Medical Gaslighting: A Guide to Help You Recognize It, Prevent It, and Fight For Your Life) Ilana helps patients survive and thrive with chronic illness, and spot and combat deadly medical gaslighting. If you have experienced medical gaslighting, you’re not alone, and Ilana is in your corner.   For more information about Ilana Jacqueline, visit our website at madevisiblestories.com/podcast Please note: This podcast is intended to provide information and education and is not i
