The Fat Doctor Podcast

The Fat Doctor Podcast, hosted by Dr. Asher Larmie, a General Practitioner, offers a critical and unfiltered examination of conventional health narratives, particularly concerning weight. The podcast challenges pervasive weight stigma and anti-fat bias embedded within healthcare systems and broader society. Through passionate discussions with guest experts, Dr. Larmie exposes the harms of diet culture, the ethical failures in weight loss recommendations, and the systemic discrimination faced by individuals in larger bodies. It delves into topics like the medicalization of conditions such as diabetes, critiquing approaches that prioritize compliance over patient well-being, and scrutinizing interventions like GLP-1 medications for their overlooked negative impacts. This podcast is essential for anyone seeking to understand the societal and medical implications of weight stigma, including healthcare professionals, individuals impacted by bias, and allies advocating for a more equitable and compassionate approach to health.
