The Crazy Progressive Liberal Snowflake

The Fat Doctor Podcast

Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 3 of the Fat Doctor Podcast, or as Asher likes to think of it, the reboot. In this episode they be challenge the crazy progressive liberal snowflake stereotype. Apparently fat liberation is extremism. Or is it?
In this episode, Asher discusses:

• Their own journey into fat liberation
• Why basic human rights and freedom from discrimination and oppression is not radical extremism
• Why BMI and "ob*sity" have no business being part of heath or healthcare
• Why focusing on weight loss is a waste of breath

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 series 2 of their podcast, Dr Asher Larmie, an experienced General Practitioner and self-styled Fat Doctor, examines and challenges the laws that make up the foundations of mordern day healthism.
They tackles the various ways in which these laws contribute to weight stigma and fat oppression through passionate, unfiltered conversations with guest experts, colleagues and friends. In order to really tackle weight stigma, Asher believes that you must first challenge society's definition of health, it's relationship with disease, and why fat has become public enemy number one.
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, Dr. Larmie and the team at 'The Fat Doctor Podcast' welcomes you into the inner circle
