    Podcast Summary

    • LifeKit is changing, find new content by searching for 'Life Kit'LifeKit offers episodes to help navigate life's challenges, starting with basics, and covers topics like relationships, creativity, and more. Subscribe to the LifeKit feed or specific topic feeds to access all episodes.

      LifeKit is undergoing some changes, and the old feed you're subscribed to will no longer be updated. But don't worry, you can easily find more LifeKit content by searching for "Life Kit" and subscribing to the new feed. The team is producing episodes to help navigate life's challenging moments, such as quitting a job or explaining complex topics like sexual orientation to children. They believe it's important to build a solid foundation before tackling more complex issues. For instance, just as we wouldn't teach algebra without first teaching the basics, we shouldn't discuss sexual orientation without first teaching children about healthy relationships and love. Additionally, LifeKit will cover topics like reading more books and adding creativity to your life. The team encourages listeners to make these habits a regular part of their lives. To access all episodes and topics, subscribe to the LifeKit feed. Alternatively, you can subscribe to the topical feeds for specific subjects like parenting, money, and health.

    BMI is flawed. Try a body composition test

    BMI is flawed. Try a body composition test
    For decades, health experts have relied on body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height, to classify people as underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.

That's why a growing number of researchers and physicians prefer other metrics instead. NPR health correspondent Allison Aubrey breaks down the history and shortcomings of BMI, and shares other methods to get a fuller picture of your body.
