Dr Asher Larmie
Weight Inclusive Doctor | noweigh.org
Asher is a weight-inclusive GP and leading expert in dismantling weight stigma in healthcare. Known as "The Fat Doctor," he brings both professional expertise and a deep personal understanding of the impact of weight stigma on patient care. His approach combines rigorous medical knowledge with a commitment to evidence-based, weight-inclusive healthcare.
Heart Health Through a Weight Inclusive Lens
We'll be exploring evidence-based approaches to managing cholesterol, blood pressure, and insulin resistance without harmful weight-focused interventions. This session will cover cardiovascular health beyond simple metrics, weight-inclusive strategies for supporting heart health, and how to advocate for appropriate testing and treatment. If you're a Fat patient, you'll learn how to navigate heart health conversations with your healthcare providers. And if you're a healthcare provider you'll learn tools for reducing medical trauma while addressing cardiac concerns in Fat patients.
My vision is to create a space where weight-inclusive healthcare professionals and Fat people with lived experience come together as equal partners in learning
By weaving together clinical expertise with powerful personal narratives, we foster connections that transcend traditional hierarchies and create a collective wisdom greater than any one perspective alone. In this community, storytellers become teachers, practitioners become students, and together we reimagine healthcare as a realm where every body is treated with dignity, respect, and evidence-based care. Whether you bring professional knowledge, lived experience, or both to our circle, your voice enriches our shared understanding and strengthens our movement for transformative change.
