#5 The hidden financial and career cost of being overweight

In this episode, we take a look at the scientific evidence that links being overweight to earning less and being less employable.

I also explore some reasons why this might be the case and what you could do about it. 

Some of the studies and articles mentioned in the podcast:

Eurostat - Overweight and obesity - BMI statistics
