Welcome to "Change Your Relationship with Food," hosted by Kyla Holley, an experienced eating disorder and bariatric therapist. In this episode, Kyla introduces the Body Roundness Index (BRI), a new contender against the well-known Body Mass Index (BMI).

Kyla takes us through a historical overview of the BMI, highlighting its origins, applications, and limitations. She then delves into the specifics of the BRI, explaining how it differs from BMI and why it might be a more relevant measure of health.

Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking questions, Kyla encourages listeners to consider the implications of these indices on their health and self-perception. She also challenges the necessity of attaching numerical values to our bodies and discusses the potential stigma associated with these measures.

Join Kyla as she explores whether the Body Roundness Index is a better alternative to the BMI and what it means for our understanding of health and body image.

Kyla Holley is the Director of the Australian Centre for Eating Behaviour www.acfeb.com
