The Fat Doctor Podcast

The Fatphobic History of Medicine

• Dr Asher Larmie • Season 4 • Episode 22

Modern medicine is fatphobic AF. Last week I talked about how we pathologized fat. This week I will bridge the gap between history and our present reality.  We'll cover the impact of:
👉Eugenics
👉Sanctimonious BS
👉Anti-fat bias
👉Capitalism
👉Bad science
