The Fat Doctor Podcast

Why avoiding your doctor makes complete sense

 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.
