The Feeling Lighter Podcast

Episode 135 - Rethinking Weight in Healthcare with Dr. Asher Larmie


Listen Later

Dr. Asher Larmie joins us to unpack the real consequences of a weight-obsessed healthcare system. From the dangers of weight cycling and the misuse of weight loss drugs to the harmful stigma many patients face—this conversation dives deep into how weight-inclusive care can truly transform health outcomes.

Dr. Larmie challenges conventional medical practices that prioritize weight over well-being, and advocates for a more compassionate, evidence-based approach. Together, we explore why trusting your body, questioning biased research, and focusing on whole-person care is essential—especially for those in larger bodies.

We also touch on the role social media plays in shaping public perception, the profit-driven nature of the pharmaceutical industry, and the importance of body autonomy in modern health conversations.

This is more than a discussion—it’s a call to reshape the way we think about health.
