Introduction:
What's good, High Performers! Dez here, and in this episode of the internet pissing me off, we're tackling some serious myths and truths about health and wellness while going all-in on the hot topics of body image, the pitfalls of body shaming, and why the BMI might not be the golden standard we once thought it was. This is about getting behind a more inclusive, compassionate approach to health that pushes NUANCE.
Inclusive Health: We dove into embracing everybody's uniqueness in the pursuit of wellness.
The Body-Shaming Conundrum: We addressed the negative impact of body shaming and fatphobia, advocating for a shift towards a more supportive dialogue.
BMI Uncovered: We started challenging the widespread reliance on BMI as a health indicator, especially its flawed application in diverse populations.
Personalized Care: We also made a strong case for tailored health and fitness strategies that respect individual needs and journeys
We're going to go ahead and dive deep into the science and history behind BMI, how this index came to be, and where it misses the mark.
Stay tuned as we break down the complex world of health and performance. We're not just here to follow trends – we're here to set them by staying informed and conscious of our unique health paths.
