Hey everybody! Welcome to another episode of the Food Heaven Podcast. Today we’re getting into weight loss. We get so many patients, and listeners too, who hit us up about wanting to live a little healthier- and the focus of the conversation usually starts with weight loss. A lot of people equate being healthy with losing weight. There seems to be this culture of weight obsession, especially among women, and a lot of times it’s not conducive to developing sustainable lifestyle habits. So today we’re going to talk a bit about weight as it relates to health and get into our approach to living your healthiest, best life

- Why we need to stop using BMI and Ideal Body Weight as markers of health
- Factors such as genetics, metabolism, activity, health conditions, and medications, that affect weight
