Is Weight an Indicator of Health?
b'Is weight an indicator of health? We often think that skinny people are healthier than people with obesity, but research suggests we may be wrong about how we view body weight. Studies have shown that BMI isn\\u2019t always an accurate predictor of health. While the risks associated with being overweight shouldn\\u2019t be ignored, countless other factors contribute to wellbeing and are better determinants of health. Nevertheless, the impacts of diet culture and society\\u2019s predisposed assumptions about fatness still impact both old and young. In this podcast episode, we explore the relationship between weight and health. \\n\\nPodcast Guests:\\nMirna Valerio, Ultramarathoner, founder of Fat Girl Running\\n\\nKathryn Hively, Founder of Just BE Parenting\\n\\nGlenn Gaesser, Professor of Exercise Physiology at Arizona State University\\n\\nCorinne Hannan, Psychologist and Assistant Clinical Professor, Brigham Young University'
