In this episode, we break down the truth about BMI (Body Mass Index) — what it is, where it came from, and why it’s still used in modern healthcare despite its many flaws. Learn how BMI impacts health stigma, why it doesn’t tell the full story about your body, and what better indicators of health you should focus on instead. If you’ve ever asked, “Is BMI accurate?” or felt discouraged by the number on a scale, this episode is for you.
