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.
Challenging the "Ob*sity" Narrative
While health organizations worldwide frame fatness as a disease requiring intervention, the evidence tells a different story. In this confidential live session, we'll examine how weight stigma and weight cycling, as opposed to not body, create measurable health harms. We'll unpack the cunning messaging pedalled by the weight loss industry, and equip you with evidence-based responses to challenge these narratives in your own healthcare experiences.
This is a safe, judgment-free space where your experiences matter. All questions are welcome, and nothing is recorded, allowing for honest, open conversation among participants
