Do you ever find yourself apologising for what you say before you say it? We've been conditioned not to get upset or rock the boat or challenge authority so that the people in power can stay in power. They feed us a kernel of truth hidden in a bucket of sh*t and expect us to swallow it. I, for one, am done eating sh*t. Join me this week as I challenge seven widely held beliefs that are designed to keep us from learning and sharing the truth about weight and healthcare.

Should healthcare be a basic human right or a private enterprise? All my life, I worked for the National Health Service, the so-called beacon of socialist medicine. Make no mistake, the NHS is a capitalist employer that could give Amazon a run for its money. It is controlled by the private sector and big pharma, and it is rotten at its very core. The ruling class wrote the rules that operates under long before it was formed and the ruling class will be the cause of its downfall. In these week's episode, we examine what it would take for healthcare to deliver on its promise, and whether it's all just wishful thinking.

CW: Child abuse, death or a parent, emotional trauma

Growing up with a narcissistic father has given me some insight in how to manage people in power who have a heightened sense of self importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a profound lack of empathy. I've become an expert in managing men who are entitled and expect everyone to agree with them. If you think that sounds familiar, then maybe you grew up with a narcissistic parent. Either that, or you've been to see the doctor.

Success is a loaded term. It comes with expectations and targets. It's measured and tracked and is closely tied with a person's worth. Not just their self worth, either. Society isn't interested in the film that doesn't get watched or the book that doesn't get read. They get tossed to one side, relegated to the bottom of the pile, and ignored for the most part. 

It's easy to get caught up in the benchmarks of success, but what happens when we start creating for the sake of creating? What happens when we make art or create content because we feel inspired to and not worry so much about what comes after? Abandoning all hope of success doesn't mean giving up. It means letting go of the standards set by other people and finding value in yourself and what you produce.

I pride myself on being a fat person who isn't afraid to take up space. But the more you take up space, the more people will take issue with it. Especially if you're visibly different — Fat, Trans, Queer, Neurodivergent. So I suffered a few setbacks over the past few years and I learned that if I don't censor or filter myself, chances are I would be punished and my words would be used against me. I learned there is a "right way" to do social justice, and if that means hiding parts of myself, then it's worth it for the greater good. 

Turns out that faking it doesn't work out much better, and liberation can only come when people are free to be themselves. Sounds pretty obvious when you say it out loud, but this wasn't an easy lesson for me to learn. Join me this week as I start taking up space my way, in spite of the potential future backlash.

Everything you've been told about weight loss is a lie. We can sum up the driving force behind all of these lies in two simple words: racial capitalism. It is the reason fat people are both hated and exploited in equal measure. In this episode, I argue that putting an end to medical weight stigma requires us to do away with racial capitalism, and the people in power will never allow that to happen. That doesn't mean we should give up – it means it's time to start getting creative. Once you stop hoping for the impossible, you can start dreaming about what's actually possible.

Asher's 10 rules for how to stop being nice:
1. Stop following the rules that were designed to make you smaller or disappear altogether.
2. Don’t worry about being cancelled.
3. Don’t waste time trying to be agreeable. Don’t modify your tone. Don’t fix your face. Don’t smile more. 
4. Skip the small talk: say what you mean and mean what you say.
5. Remember that you’re pretty fucking great, actually (no matter what you were told growing up).
6. Stop apologising when people don’t like something you say or do. Only apologise when you’ve done something wrong. 
7. Abandon all hope of success.
8. Accept the fact that no matter how hard you try, you are going to fuck up sometimes – and that’s OK. 
9. When they go low, feel free to go lower (they started it)
10. Embrace being nasty. You’re blunt, rude, messy and disagreeable – be proud of that.

When your blood tests come back normal and your doctor sends you on your way, that's not a diagnosis – that's a dismissal. In this episode, I follow Priya, a self-employed autistic woman in her late 30s whose 18 months of worsening fatigue, hair loss, skin changes, and irregular periods have been met with advice to exercise more and download a mindfulness app.

I walk you through why "normal bloods" and "everything's fine" are not the same thing, which conditions are routinely missed in fat patients, and what it actually looks like when a doctor does their job properly.

Because basic care isn't heroics. It's just medicine.

 Fat patients with chronic pain are routinely sent away with a weight loss lecture. No examination, no blood tests, no referrals. In this episode, I introduce Suki, a teacher and mother whose two years of worsening hip and back pain have been dismissed at every turn, while her thinner colleagues walk away with physiotherapy and x-rays. I break down exactly what conditions get missed, why weight stigma is a clinical shortcut that the system is designed to profit from, and (most importantly) what to say in the room to finally get the care you deserve.

 Weight stigma doesn't just happen inside the consultation room: it keeps fat people out of it entirely. In this episode, you'll meet Ren. Ren hasn't seen their GP in eighteen months, not out of laziness or neglect, but because the last appointment cost far more than it was worth. 

I make the case that medical avoidance is a completely rational response to a system designed to punish fat bodies. The resulting missed diagnoses, untreated conditions, and compounding health consequences aren't a fat problem, they're a doctor problem. 

But this episode isn't just about what's broken. It's about what you can actually do right now: how to walk into that appointment armed with your rights, set your own agenda, and reclaim the power that was always yours to begin with.
