Why I'm Breaking Up with My Bathroom Scale (And You Should Too)

After decades in the health industry, I'm on a mission to get rid of traditional scales. Here's why: We've been focusing on the wrong metric for far too long, and it's doing real metabolic damage, especially to women over 40. In this episode, I'm diving into everything I've learned about body composition through my doctoral studies and 30+ years of experience working with thousands of women.
The truth is, muscle is your organ of longevity, and starting around age 30, we can lose up to 1% of our muscle mass each year - that loss doubles after 60. But here's what I've discovered: when you shift your focus from weight loss to body recomposition, everything changes. I'm sharing my exact protocol for measuring what really matters (hint: it's not the number on your scale), including the specific tools I use at home and the professional assessments that give you the complete picture. Plus, I'll reveal how my husband dropped 27 pounds of fat while gaining 24 pounds of muscle in just 8 months using these strategies.
What you’ll learn:
Why women can handle 18-25% body fat and stay metabolically healthy (and why that's actually good news)
The dangerous type of fat you need to watch (it's not where you think) and how to measure it at home
How to know if you're losing muscle or fat when the scale goes down - and the simple morning test that tells you
The exact body composition measurements that predict longevity better than weight
My personal DEXA scan results and why they differ 5% from my home measurements (and why that's okay)
The optimal rate of fat loss that preserves muscle (spoiler: it's slower than you think)
Why "newbie gains" can help you build muscle faster if you're just starting resistance training
The cutting-edge bone density test that revealed issues my DEXA scans missed for years
