In this episode, we dive deep into why I believe the Body Mass Index (BMI) is “bologna” when it comes to measuring health. We start by exploring the history of BMI—how and why it was originally invented, and the path it took to become a widely accepted standard for assessing health and weight. We then break down the many problems with using BMI as a reliable measure of an individual's well-being. From its outdated origins to its inability to consider critical health factors, I explain why this metric misses the mark for most people. You'll also learn what should be prioritized instead of BMI for a more accurate and understanding of your health. Three things you'll learn in this episode: 1. The history of BMI—who invented it, and the original (and surprising) reason it was created. 2. Why BMI became so widely used, despite its serious limitations in accurately reflecting individual health. 3. Alternative, more meaningful ways to assess your health that take into account things like body composition, strength, and overall well-being.
