In this episode of Docs Who Lift, Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and Dr. Karl Nadolsky are joined by Johns Hopkins researchers Dr. Jackie Yao and Dr. Michael Blaha to break down a groundbreaking study exploring the difference between BMI-defined obesity and clinical obesity, a more nuanced approach that goes beyond the scale. Based on the recent Lancet Commission framework, they discuss how body fat distribution, waist-to-hip ratio, metabolic health, and complications like fatty liver and high blood pressure can better define who is truly at risk.
You’ll hear the limitations of BMI, what “preclinical obesity” means, and why a large portion of people categorized as overweight or normal weight might actually have obesity-related disease. They also discuss the implications for GLP-1 medications, treatment access, and how this shift could change everything from clinical care to public health policy.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in science-based weight loss, obesity medicine, and the future of health diagnostics.
