In plain language

Content creator Elyse Myers recently shared that her weight loss was actually caused by years of severe reproductive health issues and medical trauma. This situation serves as a reminder that a person's physical appearance may be influenced by private health struggles that are not visible to others. Experts suggest that making assumptions about someone's health based on their size can be misleading and intrusive.
