There is a CONTENT WARNING for medical weight stigma, cancer and medical trauma. Today Asher introduces you to Sarah-Jane, whose Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer could have been detected much earlier had a single doctor bothered to lay a hand on her abdomen. Weight stigma means fewer examinations, delayed investigations and poorer treatment and Sarah-Jane has paid the ultimate price.

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.
