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 For years, BMI has been the standard — but is it outdated?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?
