Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healthiest Podcast on the Internet! We talk about all things Health Promotion, particularly as they relate to the CAF - in essence giving you a little "Food For Thought" on topics that range from stress, sleep, the impact of the built environment, how to be an HP Ambassador (even if that seems hard and somewhat terrifiying), we'll talk about inclusion and othering and why the latter needs to be avoided. We have conversations with different health and helping professionals and we even have some military members drop in with their insights. So if you are ready to get healthy(er) then pick an episode (short or long) and let's get started!
Food For Thought - the Podcast
Season 3 Ep 4 - BMI Busted!
It's unlikely that you have not heard of the BMI, and it's even less likely that you don't have stories about how BMI impacted (mostly negatively) people's lives and careers. Listen to Nicole and Charissa talk about the interesting history and path that the BMI took from it's mathematical origins to a tool that has in truth, done more harm than good. It's the last episode before the rebrand, so sit back and get ready to learn how we can undo some of the damage that BMI has done and move forward in way where we all end up winners on the other side of that now infamous finish line.
