About this listen

In this episode Olly wants to find out exactly how overweight he is and whether he needs to lose weight for medical reasons. Olly has a full body scan and Dr. Sadaaf Farooqi explains why Body Mass Index is not always a reliable measurement and how being overweight can affect your health.

Medical historian Louise Foxcroft takes us through how our idea of the ideal body weight has changed over time.
