The Fat Doctor Podcast
How would you react if someone told you that most of what we are taught to believe about healthy bodies is a lie? How would you feel if that person was a medical doctor with over 20 years experience treating patients and seeing the harm caused by all this misinformation?In their podcast, Dr Asher Larmie, an experienced General Practitioner and self-styled Fat Doctor, examines and challenges 'health' as we know it through passionate, unfiltered conversations with guest experts, colleagues and friends.They tackle the various ways in which weight stigma and anti-fat bias impact both individuals and society as a whole.

What do you mean you don't care whether people like you?!?!
Asher was 43 years old when he found out that there are some people out there who don't care whether people like them or not! It has understandably taken him a few days to process that, and this episode explores Fat tropes and the potential reasons why Fat people are so desperate to be likeable (#NotAllFatPeople).
