14 - Medical Weight Stigma with Dr Asher Larmie (@thefatdoctor)

Paved with Gold

On this epsiode of Paved with Gold, we have the privilege of chatting to the incredible Dr Asher Larmie (he/they), also known as @theFatDoctor or if you read the Daily Mail - "the UK's most outrageous doctor?" We talk about the impacts and origins of medical weight stigma, the dangers of weight loss injections like Wegovy and debunks everything that is wrong with the BMI. It may be our longest episode yet, but we could not get enough of Asher's wisdom. This one is a must-listen.
