On today’s episode we talk about nutrition, diet culture, and our own experiences with food/nutrition.

Please remember we are not professionals, however I do want to point out some of the things we discussed.

BMI can be a screening tool, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual. To determine if BMI is a health risk, a healthcare provider performs further assessments. Such assessments include skinfold thickness measurements, evaluations of diet, physical activity, and family history.

The correlation between the BMI and body fatness is fairly strong, but even if two people have the same BMI, their level of body fatness may differ.
