Liv Label Free | Neurodivergent Eating Disorder Recovery

The SHOCKING Truth about BMI (how is this even ALLOWED?)


Listen Later

Did you know that BMI was invented over 200 years ago? Or that it was invented by someone who knew absolutely NOTHING about the biology of the human body? BMI, short for Body Mass Index, is a tool used globally as a way to assess whether someone is "healthy" or not. But is it really accurate, or even RELIABLE? In this research-based episode, I share the history of BMI and why this measurement system is complete B.S.! You'll learn:

  • Who invented BMI
  • When and why BMI was invented
  • That BMI discriminates
  • What's missing with this tool
  • That you can't measure health with a mathematical formula
  • Holistic alternatives to BMI
