Beyond BMI: What Obesity Really Means
from Kate and Isaiah Living Large · host Katelin & Isaiah
In this episode, we dive into a CBC article that’s challenging how the world defines obesity. For years, BMI has been the standard — but is it outdated? We talk about the new medical definitions of pre-clinical and clinical obesity, why this matters for people living in larger bodies, and how shifting the definition could change everything — from treatment to stigma. We also share our personal reactions, frustrations, and hopes for a more accurate and compassionate approach to obesity in medicine and media. 💬 What do YOU think about the way obesity is defined? Drop your thoughts in the comments — we want to hear from you. 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for more honest conversations about obesity, health, and life from people who live it. #Obesity #LivingWithObesity #BeyondBMI #BodyImage #HealthAtEverySize #ObesityAwareness #WeightStigma #ChronicIllness #KateAndIsaiahLivingLarge #CanadianPodcast Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KnIlivinglarge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089054987606
