From the flawed origins of BMI to the deeply ingrained narratives that tell us our bodies need to be “fixed”, we unpack the emotional weight of these beliefs and what it takes to unlearn them. In this episode of Life in the Grey, we dive into the unspoken rules and expectations around body image, health and self-worth. Tune in as we explore what it really means to love and appreciate our bodies—just as they are.
