In our latest podcast episode, "Beyond the Numbers: Unlocking Total Body Composition Mastery," we take a comprehensive look at what it really means to understand and improve your body composition.
We examined the body composition of a patient with a BMI of 27 and a weight of around 150 pounds.
Despite the BMI indicating possible overweight status, this patient exemplifies good health due to low visceral adipose tissue, normal fat mass percentage, and high skeletal muscle mass.
This highlights that the number on the scale is less important than what your body is composed of.
Improving health involves focusing on both physical and mental aspects, as they are interconnected.
A key factor in reducing harmful visceral fat is nutrition, specifically avoiding highly processed foods with high fructose content. These foods can cause liver damage and contribute to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. Therefore, reading food labels and choosing minimally processed foods with recognizable ingredients is crucial for better health.
Living a healthier lifestyle is not just about numbers on a scale—it's about gaining a full understanding of your body's muscle mass, fat distribution, bone density, and metabolic health. Your total body composition.
