👩🏻‍⚕️Nurse Practitioner Monica Moore addresses the complex topic of weight and BMI in this new episode of Ask Monica. Before we get into it, here are some important things to remember:

1️⃣ BMI is not a perfect measurement, but it can help your team design the best protocol for you, ensuring you receive accurate medication dosages, for example
2️⃣ You are always allowed to ask to be weighed facing away from the scale or ask your team to not reference your exact weight or BMI if those numbers are triggering for you
3️⃣ You should never feel judged by your Care Team about your weight

Watch the full video as Monica explains exactly why BMI is a valuable data point when designing your treatment plan, what your first visit will look like and the other important information we gather during your initial evaluation.
