A straight-shooting, science based podcast about periods, period recovery, fertility, and nurturing health, outside of unrealistic beauty expectations. Every fortnight, Dr Nicola Rinaldi, scientist and lead author of the book ‘No Period, now what?’ and Florence Gillet, Certified Eating Psychology coach and founder of www.beyondbodyimage.com share real recovery stories, expert insights and new research on hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) recovery, hormonal health and fertility, with an unmissable touch of body respect and women’s empowerment.
In this episode, Nicola and Florence talk to Dr Asher Larmie (he/they), Transmasculine weight-inclusive GP and leading expert in weight stigma. Dr Larmie is a fat activist and the founder of the #NOWeigh campaign. With over two decades of medical experience and a lifelong journey as a Fat person, Asher is combatting weight stigma and promoting weight-inclusive care as the self-styled Fat Doctor.
