FWG Chat | Episode 5

You’ve heard of the body mass index (BMI), but what does it REALLY tell you? Is it worthless? Does it apply in certain settings? What other indicators of health exist? Dr. Kimberly Rogers and I dig deep into these questions (and more) on episode 5 of our weekly FWG Chat series (originally aired on January 17, 2019)!
