Is Your Weight Important to Health?

Is Your Weight Important to Health? In today's episode, Adam breaks down a brand new 2025 meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine covering over 400,000 participants that compares the impact of fitness vs. body weight on overall health, longevity, and mortality risk. You might be surprised by what the data actually shows. If you're ready to get healthier, stronger, and show up more fully for what God has called you to do, this episode is for you!

In this episode, we cover:

• Why fitness level is a stronger predictor of health than your weight • What the research says about the gap between "fit & overweight" vs. "unfit at any size" • The cultural misconceptions we have around weight, body composition, and health • Real limitations of BMI and why the study's results still hold in spite of the limitations • How faith, fitness, and discipleship intersect in your everyday life

Being fit dramatically reduces your risk of disease and early mortality no matter what the scale says. Weight still matters, but fitness matters more.
