Listen "96: The TRUTH About the BMI "
Episode Synopsis
BMI or Body Mass Index. It has been around for almost 200 years, but is it still a good way to measure health today? In this episode, we dive into the surprising history of BMI (spoiler: it wasn’t even created by a doctor), why it became the global standard, and what the research really says about its strengths and major flaws. Let's unbox why Asians have different BMI cutoffs, how visceral fat plays a big role in health risks, and whether BMI should still be used at all.
