Is BMI Bogus?

The Body Mass Index, or BMI, has long been a standard metric in health assessments, but is it truly a reliable indicator of health? In this thought-provoking episode of The Pea PodCast, your host Alicia C. Simpson MS,RD,IBCLC,LD sits down with Ashleigh Spitza MS, RD, CD, CLC, CDCES, to peel back the layers on this widely used measurement.


We dive into:

  • What BMI actually is and its historical origins (you might be surprised!).
  • The major limitations of relying solely on BMI, including its inability to distinguish between muscle and fat, and its problematic basis in historical data primarily from white European men.
  • Why BMI can be misleading for athletes, different body types, and various ethnic groups.
  • Alternative and more comprehensive ways to assess health and body composition beyond a single number, such as waist circumference, body fat percentage, and overall lifestyle factors.
  • The evolving perspective on BMI in the medical community, including recent policy changes by organizations like the American Medical Association.

Tune in to gain a more nuanced understanding of health, challenge conventional metrics, and empower yourself with knowledge that goes beyond the scale!
