Ep 26- Breaking Up with BMI
In this eye-opening episode, join your host Ren Jones as we unravel the tangled history and controversial use of the Body Mass Index (BMI). We'll dive deep into the 1830s origins of BMI, conceived by a mathematician with zero health credentials, and explore how this outdated metric has morphed into a modern-day headache for anyone trying to measure health by today's standards. From its biased beginnings to its failure to capture individual health nuances, we're dissecting everything BMI stands for—and doesn't. Tune in as we question if it's time to finally kick BMI to the curb and embrace more inclusive and accurate health assessments. Whether you love it or loathe it, this episode promises to change the way you think about that pesky number on the scale. Get ready for some real talk with Ren!
