If you believe that weight loss is an essential step in improving your health, this episode will explain why that assumption just doesn't hold up. I'm joined by registered dietitian and menopause expert Dr. Val Schonberg who draws on her background in sports nutrition and eating disorders to explain why behavior-based goals—rather than the scale—are key to sustainable well-being.

We dive into the myths surrounding weight, BMI, and body composition, especially for women in midlife and beyond. We explore how diet culture, weight cycling, and flawed metrics have distorted our understanding of health, and why focusing on intuitive eating, and balanced nutrition is a more sustainable and realistic approach.
