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. From the classroom to the boardroom, the doctors office to the local pub, weight-based discrimination is everywhere. Is it any wonder that it has such an impact on our health? Whether you're a person affected by weight stigma, a healthcare professional, a concerned parent or an ally who shares our view that people in larger bodies deserve better, Asher and the team at 'The Fat Doctor Podcast' welcomes you into the inner circle.

I Wrote A Book!
After three false starts and years of research, I've finally finished the first draft of No Weigh. This wasn't supposed to be just another book debunking weight science—it became something more fundamental. I realized I'd been centering myself as a doctor, performing credibility for my colleagues, when I should have been writing for fat patients. This book is for us, about us, written by one of us who happens to have a medical degree. I'm done performing humility and apologizing for the evidence. I'm done trying to convince resistant doctors who already see the truth in their own clinical practice but refuse to acknowledge it.
Instead, I'm bringing receipts to validate what you already know: the treatment is the problem, the cure doesn't work, and it's all been by design. From the shocking corruption in UK guidelines with 31-page stakeholder lists, to what we're doing to children, to the fundamental lie that there's such a thing as a "healthy weight"—I'm exposing it all, not to convince doctors, but to arm fat people with the evidence we need to fight back.
