Negative health impacts of weight stigma with Dr. Natasha Larmie

Jul 14, 2021

In this week's episode, Bonnie is joined by Dr. Natasha Larmie aka "The Fat Doctor". She began blogging her own weight loss journey only a year ago before pivoting to a weight-inclusive approach to food and health. This is where the name "The Fat Doctor" was born as a way of removing the power the word had as an insult. Natasha is a weight-inclusive GP who is on a mission to end weight stigma in the medical profession. 

They will touch on such topics as:

• Weight stigma 101
• Breaking down the definition of "FAT"
• How does your brain navigate trauma?
• Approaching HEALTH as a Doctor and weight bias in healthcare
• How to arm yourselves to navigate weight stigma?
• Concrete examples of what you can do going to your next Doctor visit
• Weight stigma is not your fault!
