## Resource

BMI is one number, not the full story. Dr. Melody Rodarte breaks down what doctors miss and what actually matters. In this episode, Josh sits down with Dr. Melody Rodarte, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, to unpack why BMI can be misleading, why "eat less, exercise more" is incomplete, and why calories are not metabolically equal. They cover GLP-1 medications and the right way to think about them, fasting vs timed restricted eating, autophagy, and why perimenopause can start earlier and last longer than most people realize. General discussion only, not medical advice. __ Thank you to OneAccord for partnering with us on this episode.
