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'm Done Being Nice
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Asher's 10 rules for how to stop being nice:
1. Stop following the rules that were designed to make you smaller or disappear altogether.
2. Don’t worry about being cancelled.
3. Don’t waste time trying to be agreeable. Don’t modify your tone. Don’t fix your face. Don’t smile more.
4. Skip the small talk: say what you mean and mean what you say.
5. Remember that you’re pretty fucking great, actually (no matter what you were told growing up).
6. Stop apologising when people don’t like something you say or do. Only apologise when you’ve done something wrong.
7. Abandon all hope of success.
8. Accept the fact that no matter how hard you try, you are going to fuck up sometimes – and that’s OK.
9. When they go low, feel free to go lower (they started it)
10. Embrace being nasty. You’re blunt, rude, messy and disagreeable – be proud of that.
