About this listen

Join hosts Joey Torre and Parish Armstead for a raw, unfiltered conversation about navigating life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) as men in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness. In this deeply personal episode, Parish opens up about:

  • The early struggles of getting diagnosed and feeling isolated.
  • Breaking the stigma of HS in male communities.
  • How he transformed frustration into advocacy—and what keeps him fighting.

💬 Join the Brotherhood:
