• Where and how weight stigma manifests in the life of people living in bigger bodies.
• Ragen discusses the highs and lows of her experiences as both a fat athlete and a thought leader in the area of weight stigma.
• They bust myths regarding health and weight loss in both research and medical practice and the harm that it causes.

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 her podcast, Dr Natasha 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.
