Throwback: BMI is Bullsh*t

The Up-Beet Dietitians

Hannah and Emily will be taking a quick break from posting new episodes during the month of March 2023. Please enjoy one of their favorite, older episodes in the meantime! Season 6 will resume on April 5th.

In this episode of The Up-Beet Dietitians podcast, Emily and Hannah discuss the almost 200-year-old, health-risk measurement we’ve come to love (sarcasm) - BMI. They discuss how the BMI was created, the purpose behind its creation, and why BMI is trash. Emily and Hannah go in-depth to why the BMI should not be utilized as a health measurement tool and why it shouldn’t have so much influence over how any healthcare appointment should go. Be sure to tune in for another HOT bonus question! (no pun intended, but seriously you don’t want to miss this one and also if anyone wants to sponsor us… we’re not saying no).
