Body Composition Scan Beyond Weight Loss for Health

I really want to tell you, I love that body composition scan for another reason now. And now we're going to go down that rabbit hole because, you know, that this is taking this conversation about weight to actually really to health. Like, what is your— you know, I was recently on like a cruise or something and they had this scanner, right? And I was like, I would like to lose something. And then they put me on there and they were like, well, you have to lose like, you know, a pound of fat and you have to gain 3 pounds of muscle. And I was like, excuse me, that you meaning I want to lose weight and you say I actually have to Gain like two pounds net, and I was first like that is stupid. But of course, then I thought about it, right? And I was like, you know, yeah, you know, I've been also under fueling. I've not, I'm not been metabolically healthy. Yes, I was leaner a couple of years ago, but this was not healthy. So, and I would wish, you know, we wouldn't arrive at age fifty and suddenly have to grind through this whole new thinking. Would be much better. We are thirty five, and we're gonna go on the body scan. And when we are so super thin, actually someone tells us. You have to gain muscle and you don't, you know, would be so much better. And then, no, get a little bulk up a little bit.

So, I love that. Body composition. I mean, we know that, you know, that fat is metabolically active tissue. We know that muscle is the organ system of longevity. And, it really is an economical test that really does change the language is off of weight onto body composition, which is, much easier to have a conversation about.
