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.

Episode 8 features yet another one of Asher's amazing friends (yes, they are starting to boast a little, and it is getting annoying). This time it's Ross Anderson Doherty, who is a performer, teacher and director of the Cabaret Supper Club in the heart of Belfast. You may know them from their instagram account @craicwithrossy, which is where Asher first fell in love with them. Together they share their love of Jessica Wilson's book "IT’S ALWAYS BEEN OURS: REWRITING THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN'S BODIES" (as much as any two fat white non binary Wilson fans can) as well as a host of other important issues. Together Ross and Asher discuss some of the complexities of navigating the world in FAT TRANS bodies, proving that the best kind of fat has always been the trans fat (it's just got a bit of a bad reputation is all).
