There is a CONTENT WARNING for medical weight stigma, cancer and eating disorders. Asher follows up on their previous episode about the challenges of navigating cancer treatment as a Fat person by responding to a stigmatising video about breast cancer risk. They are joined by Cara McB, a "fat queer person on the internet" and beloved Instagrammer/Tik Toker.
Together Asher and Cara ask:
1. Does being fat cause breast cancer?
2. Does being fat increase your risk of breast cancer recurrence?
3. What are the risks of recurrence and death in fat people with breast cancer?
4. Why do doctors refuse to listen to the evidence?
More about the show:
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, talks all things related to weight stigma, fatphobia and fat liberation. They will be joined by several regular guests as well as guests from throughout the fat activism sphere.
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 their inner circle
