Kait Justice arrives at this episode as someone who’s lived—and advocated—through chronic illness - either labeled or not. She carries fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia with POTS, cervical cranial instability, and a decade’s worth of misdiagnosis. And the conversation Nick, Beth, Soso, and Stephanie navigate with her speaks to the messy reality: what it means to build a life, create work, and parent children when your body is constantly recalibrating its own architecture.

The discussion opens with Kait’s own adventure of discovery—years spent thinking she was lazy, unreliable, weak—only to find that her connective tissue was literally decomposing. Kait’s description of her tendons as “rotted rubber bands” that never snap back becomes a kind of emblem for the rest of the discussion on pain and fatigue. It’s your body operating without structural scaffolding, your muscles compensating endlessly, your mind forced to become a kind of medical detective just to function. What emerges from this hour is a portrait of illness as part of our existence that shapes so much of our lives—and therefore must be managed with the same intensity you’d bring to a career, a relationship, or a home. Kait has learned to advocate for her daughter; and she’s learned to ask doctors educated questions instead of accepting dismissals.

The conversation around EDS particularly cuts deep. The hosts track how Kait’s diagnosis shifted everything—not just treatment but identity, parenting, the way she understands her past. Why was she always the kid who couldn’t do what everyone else could? Because her joints don’t stay in place. Why does her daughter’s kneecap dislocate at school and send her to the hospital? Because she inherited the same faulty connective tissue. But Kait got early intervention for her daughter, which means her daughter might avoid the cascading pain Kait now experiences in her late thirties.

Kait gives us a great example of self-regulation, care, and a knowledge gained through suffering - and she’s deploying it to protect the next generation.

This week’s Chronically Illing Out with , , , and is a reflective, end-of-year discussion into burnout, visibility, and the power of community. We look back on the emotional labors of showing up while unwell, celebrate our individual and collective growths, and discussed intentional goal-setting while prioritizing presence over productivity.

From mindfulness and emotional distress tolerance tools to new creative collaborations and meditative spaces, this week reaffirmed in our minds why visible, compassionate community matters — especially for chronically ill and disabled people who are navigating an increasingly hostile world.

Today’s Sick of this Show opened with a familiar tone: honesty and community. , , , and come together for a wide-ranging conversation blending our lived experiences with an expert’s insights. We welcome on Dr. , a nationally recognized wound care specialist, to dig into how chronic illness, inflammation, recovery, and systemic healthcare failures intersect — not just clinically, but politically and economically.

Dr unpacks emerging areas of medicine rarely discussed in public forums, including frequency-based healing, electrical medicine, and advanced wound therapies. The conversation explores how sound, sleep, recovery cycles, and cellular health are deeply connected, while also grounding the discussion in real-world patient care — from diabetic wounds to athletic injuries and aging populations.

The second half of the show shifts hard into policy and reality. Medicare cuts, corporate profiteering, insurance denials, and the collapse of the American healthcare system took center stage. What emerges wasn’t just critique, but urgency: a warning that without structural reform, preventative care, and serious mental health investment, the U.S. healthcare system will continue bleeding people dry — financially and physically.

Nick’s Notes

Donate today to Feeding America!

I’m using poetry, podcasting, and lives to discuss the intersections of chronic illness and mental wellbeing, masculinity, veteran’s issues, politics, and so much more. I am only able to have these conversations, bring visibility to my communities, and fill the void through your support — this is a publication where engagement is encouraged, creativity is a cornerstone, and transparency is key — please consider becoming a paid subscriber today and grow the community!
