Conquer Your Weight

Episode #142: Your Body Composition Matters More Than Your Weight


Listen Later

In this episode of Conquer Your Weight, Dr. Sarah Stombaugh explains why focusing solely on the scale can be misleading—and why body composition is the real measure of health.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between body weight and body composition.
  • Why muscle mass is crucial for metabolism, strength, and longevity.
  • How fat distribution affects your health more than total weight.
  • Practical ways to measure progress beyond the scale.
  • How to celebrate non-scale victories and shift your mindset.

Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey or frustrated by the number on the scale, this episode will help you see progress in a whole new way.

Listen now to discover why the scale is just one small piece of your health story—and how body composition can give you a clearer, more empowering picture of success.
