Episode 9: Is Excess Body Fat Unhealthy? The Jillian Michaels/Lizzo Discussion

It’s been a while since I’ve created a Pointers podcast, but here’s the latest, live from a local cafe! So, apologies for the background noise. Today, I’d like to talk about body size. Recently, Jillian Michaels, who is a leading fitness expert, had some things to say about Lizzo, a talented singer/songwriter, regarding her body and health and it’s stirred up a bit of a discussion. I have written about body size in The Simple Seven book. There’s a chapter, a bonus chapter, that’s entitled, Look Good, and in it I discuss various topics regarding appearance and how it relates to health. As a matter of fact, it’s all tied together. But with regard to body size, I’d like to read to you an excerpt from the book. This section is about body fat.
