Weight Management Challenges
YouTube Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/rU-clvEyzec (https://youtu.be/rU-clvEyzec)
In this episode, Mateo and Jen discuss the challenges of managing a healthy weight, as well as the recent flurry of celebrity rumored weight loss drugs in the news and social media.
Do celebrities have an ethical obligation to share or withhold certain information from the public? That's a debate for another day. What we do know is that achieving a healthy weight requires making healthy choices.
Mateo and Jen will also delve into the modern-day "food chart pyramid" (now officially known as MyPlate). Is your BMI truly as important as your doctor makes it out to be? Mateo and Jen share their perspective on BMI as a tool, along with MyPlate, potential medications (prescribed by a licensed physician, of course), and vitamins, as all being part of a healthy approach to weight management.
Weight management isn't just about losing weight. For many, it's the challenge of achieving weight healthily. Mateo and Jen embark on a quest to find common ground for effective weight management.
