Episode 3028:

Dr. Neal Malik simplifies the confusion around body weight, muscle mass, and fat percentage by explaining how to measure what really matters for health. Rather than obsessing over the scale, he emphasizes tracking body composition through tools like BIA, understanding fat vs. muscle density, and focusing on long-term trends to get a clearer picture of overall wellness.

Quotes to ponder:

"Think of fat like feathers and muscle as gold: muscle is more dense and takes up less space."

"The best way to know is to have our body fat tested every so often."

"Changes over time give us the most valuable information."
