What BMI Is

Weight divided by height squared. Under 18.5 underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 normal, 25 to 29.9 overweight, 30 and up obese. Useful across populations; crude for an individual.

What It Misses

A muscular person reads 'overweight.' A thin person with belly fat reads 'normal' and carries the metabolic risk. Waist circumference and body fat percentage fix both problems.

Better Measures

Waist over 40 inches (men) or 35 (women), waist-to-height ratio over 0.5, and labs: fasting insulin, A1c, lipids, liver enzymes. Drawn at home.

How It Works

Zen IV Spa doctor house calls are $599 with travel included anywhere in New York or New Jersey, 8 AM to 11 PM, seven days; a $50 video visit covers many problems. Labs are drawn at home by a nurse and reviewed on video.
