In this episode, we dive into a CBC article thatβs challenging how the world defines obesity. For years, BMI has been the standard β but is it outdated?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 β 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.
