Episode 56: Body Positivity, Part 1-Is the BMI Still Helpful?

Keeley joins me today to kick off our four part series on Body Positivity!  Is this a phrase you've heard before?  We're spending today's episode talking about what the concept means to us and why we think our definition doesn't leave space for the BMI to hold power.  After listening, you may want to hang onto this definition, so here it is for you in writing:

Here at We Feel Super Nourished, Body Positivity means:
1. Yes!  All bodies are good bodies.
2. We tell the truth about our bodies in love.
3. Health is available to shapes and sizes of all sorts and must be determined through a holistic lens.
