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

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:

• 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.
