Why avoiding your doctor makes complete sense

Send us Fan Mail  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.  **Got a question for the next podcast?** [**Let me know**](mailto:contact@fatdoctor.co.uk)**!** **Connect With Me** - BUY THE BOOK: Never suffer through another through another weight loss lecture from your doctor again - JOIN THE NO WEIGH MOVEMENT: Get a free script when you sign up - THE WEIGHTING ROOM: Community with a neurodivergent flavour. \*\*BOOK CLUB\** exclusive to Weighting Room members. - BOOK A CONSULTATION: For the ultimate transformation in your healthcare journey - EXPLORE THE MASTERCLASS LIBRARY: Become an expert in your condition and the weight inclusive ways to manage it - FREE GUIDES:Evidence-based, not diet nonsense **Find me on** Instagram**,** YouTube**, and** LinkedIn**.**
