Should I care about my BMI?

The BMI scale has been used for a long time to determine health by many medical professionals.

This week I explain why the BMI scale is problematic, what it was originally created for, and why it's not an appropriate measurement of health. Join our weekly group coaching sessions: https://www.terripugh.co.uk/group-coachingJoin the conversation in the Facebook group: https://terripugh.xyz/facebookgroupFollow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/IAmTerriPugh or @IAmTerriPugh Get updates straight into your inbox each week: https://TerriPugh.co.uk/newsletterDrop me an email: [email protected]  Please note, this podcast is intended to be general information for entertainment purposes only.
