What happens when a strong, healthy woman is still labeled “overweight”?In this powerful and honest conversation, Robin sits down with her longtime friend Bridget Lolli, a wellness professional, strength athlete, and advocate for redefining health, to unpack the moment that sparked a deeper conversation about body image, BMI, and the messages women receive about their bodies.After being labeled “overweight” in a medical chart based solely on BMI, Bridget began asking a bigger question: Are we actually measuring health, or just weight?Together, they explore: Why BMI is an outdated and often misleading measure of health  The cultural pressure for women to be “strong", but still small  How strength training can improve metabolism, longevity, and injury prevention  The impact of body image messaging on girls and young athletes  Why female athletes often underfuel and fear building muscle  How to advocate for yourself in medical settings  And how to redefine health in a way that honors both body and purpose This episode is especially meaningful for: ✔️ Women navigating midlife body changes ✔️ Anyone frustrated with the scale or BMI labels ✔️ Moms and granddaughters raising daughters in today's body image culture ✔️ Women of faith seeking freedom from body perfection Health is not a number. Strength is not a problem. And your body is not something to shrink.If you've ever felt like your body didn't “fit” the standard and need to be reminded that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, this conversation is for you.Special Guest: Bridget Lolli is a public health professional, Certified Health Education Specialist, and School Wellness Coordinator for Columbia Public Schools with academic training in Nutritional Sciences, Nursing, and Public Health. She also holds a CrossFit Level I and Precision Nutrition coaching certificates, with over a decade of strength training experience.Bridget is passionate about redefining how we measure health by challenging outdated metrics like BMI and advocating for more accurate indicators such as muscle mass, physical performance, and metabolic health. Her perspective is shaped not only by her professional background but also by her lived experience as a strength athlete navigating injury, recovery, and weight bias within healthcare.Through her work in school wellness, youth athletics, and fitness, she focuses on helping adults and young athletes understand that health is not defined by thinness, but by strength, function, and resilience. Her recent social media post on muscle bias has sparked conversations about weight stigma, particularly its impact on women and youth athletes.Bridget is also the co-host of the podcast The Crooked Compass. https://www.youtube.com/@crookedcompasspod

This week we are joined by Dr. Gary Drillings, MD, Sam’s family friend of 25 years! (10:59) Dr. Drillings is a board certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. We’re talking about bone health and the best ways to prevent injury (20:44). We learn that a lot of the health issues we may face later in life can be prevented by eating healthy and exercising. Younger people have stronger bones for obvious reasons, so we switch gears to talk about something that’s a bit different for millennials: the most common causes of death (35:28). The truth leads us into a conversation about the importance of our mental wellbeing and what the futures of wellness might look like.
