Brigid Titgemeier argues that obsessing over the scale misses what actually matters: cardiovascular health, hormone balance, gut microbiome, inflammation, sleep, and pain. Food works as medicine, sending cellular information that shapes your whole body, not just your weight.
You need to have a nutrition plan that not only helps you lose weight, but it actually factors in all of your holistic needs, meaning improving your cardiovascular health, improving your hormone health, improving your gut microbiome so that you have more regular bowel movements, improving the inflammation so that if you have hives or rosacea or acne or other external signs of inflammation on the skin or joint pain or period pain or sleep issues, all of these things should be moving in the right direction when you're on a nutrition plan that is factoring in all of your needs. We need to stop using the scale as the only metric of your health and start diving deeper into this complex ecosystem that you are and how we can use nutrition, use food as your medicine, use food as information to fuel your cells in order to improve all aspects of your health instead of only using the number on the scale.
