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.

Surgeons are lying liars who lie
Season 4 · Episode 39
mercredi 6 novembre 2024 • Duration 37:47
It's amazing what some surgeons will say to get out of performing surgery. Which is weird, because they're supposed to like performing surgery. Otherwise why become a surgeon? In this episode, Asher explores one of life's many mysteries and also does a lot of ranting. What can he say? He's autistic and he doesn't have time for lies.

(Re) Introducing the Fat Doctor
Season 4 · Episode 38
mercredi 30 octobre 2024 • Duration 50:59
4 years ago, Asher failed his final diet. More accurately, the final diet failed him. 3 years ago, he came out as transmasculine. Two years ago, he uprooted his entire life and moved to Scotland. This time last year, he realised he was neurodivergent. In may 2020, he was writing a weight loss blog. A lot has happened since then, so he figured it was high time he re-introduced himself.
