Most of us focus on the number we see on the bathroom scale — but that single number doesn't tell the full story of our health. In this episode of Health Talk: Your Partner in Health, Dr. Caitlin Prickett and Jeffery Runyon dive into the science of body composition and explain why understanding your muscle mass, fat distribution, and visceral fat is far more important than weight alone.
Together, they break down how the InBody scale works, what its key metrics mean (from skeletal muscle mass to phase angle), and how body composition tracking can transform your health strategy. You'll learn why preserving muscle is the true secret to healthy aging, how visceral fat impacts heart disease risk, and why body composition is a game-changer for athletes, patients on GLP-1 medications, and anyone focused on long-term wellness.
