If you’ve been following me for some time, you’ll know I’m no stranger to discussing why your health isn't solely determined by the number on the scale. And while you might happily nod along with this approach, I know that many of us *still* can’t escape that nagging urge to weigh less.

If you are someone who tends to fixate a bit too much on what the scale says, I want to use today’s episode as a reminder that our health is so much more than that. I’ll also be sharing a recent example from my own health journey which proves exactly why it’s so important to look beyond the scale.

“People really glorify this fast weight loss. And I have to tell you, my patients that do that, they really sacrifice muscle at the expense of that.” - Matthea Rentea MD
