Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most common health measurements in the world — but does it really tell the whole story? In this video, Coach Casey explores the history of BMI, where it came from, what it was originally designed to do, and why it may not be as accurate as many people think.
You’ll learn:
• The surprising origins of BMI
• Why muscle mass can distort BMI results
• The connection between BMI and chronic disease risks
• Why two people with the same BMI can have very different health outcomes
• Why overall health matters more than a single number
BMI can be a useful screening tool, but it should never replace a complete picture of your health, fitness, lifestyle, and medical care.
If you’re working on sobriety, weight loss, wellness, or rebuilding your life physically and mentally, this discussion may help you look at health in a more balanced and compassionate way.
I’m Coach Casey, and this is My Sober Life Journey.
