Manage episode 518156253 series 3682627
If you’re ready to bust some myths and get practical advice you can use right now, this episode is definitely for you!
I’m Sharon Polsky, and in this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Kylie from Evolt360 to talk about something everyone on a weight loss journey should care about: tracking your progress the right way.
We go beyond the scale and dig into why actually monitoring your body composition—especially your muscle mass—is so important, particularly if you're using GLP-1s. Kylie and I share how Evolt360’s BIA scanning technology can give you real feedback that goes far deeper than your weight alone.
We discuss why women (and men!) need to start thinking about muscle much earlier than most of us do, and how strength building isn’t just for bodybuilders—it’s for anyone who wants to age well, stay strong, and feel great.
Throughout our conversation, we unpack how easy, affordable, and empowering it can be to get quality data with a quick scan, and how this information can help you make better choices every step of the way—whether you’re 20, 50, or 91.

Here are my top 3 takeaways for anyone pursuing weight loss, especially with GLP-1s:
- Body composition matters more than just your weight. Focusing on muscle mass—not just fat loss—can support long-term health, metabolism, and overall well-being as you age.
- Regular, affordable, non-invasive scanning empowers you with actionable data. Tools like the Evolt360 body scanner, available in over 2,000 US locations, help track progress beyond the scale and support smart, informed adjustments to nutrition and exercise.
- It’s never too late to start building muscle. Whether you’re 20 or 60, resistance training and added protein can dramatically improve quality of life, mobility, and even recovery from illness.
