We've touched on this topic several times before and decided it's high time we devoted an entire episode to this health fallacy. Repeat after me: my weight is not my health.
In an industry so laden with numbers and "facts" it can be downright impossible to decipher what health actually means. How do we know we're actually taking care of our health? Shouldn't I always be striving to lose about 10 pounds for "health reasons?" Can we really claim that weight loss leads to better health? Let's discuss.
If you've been listening to us for a while you'll notice we recently changed our format. Each month, we'll focus on a specific topic and offer rich discussions, actionable suggestions and an interactive Instagram Live once a month. Join us over on Instagram -- we're @middleish_podcast.
