Bonus Episode #2: BMI and why to stop using it by Life with ED, the podcast published on 2019-03-04T16:52:31Z Surprise! Another bonus episode, and this time it's all about BMI. Most of us are familiar with BMI and think about what category it tells us we fall into more often than is good for us. But, most of us don't really know where this equation come from or why health professionals use it. In this episode I go into where it came from, why it's used and - most importantly - why we should stop putting so much value on what it tells us!
