Episode description

How many times have you weighed yourself on the scales one day and then the next day found your weight has gone up or down, simply overnight?

Many of us have a belief that the scale is the ultimate measure of health and wellness but when it comes to menopause, this couldn't be further from the truth.

Hormonal changes, water retention, and shifts in body composition can all skew the number on the scale so let's explore why this number is not only misleading but can be downright harmful to our understanding of health during menopause.

The fixation on the scale can lead to scale anxiety, body image issues, and even disordered eating behaviours. It's a cycle that's tough to break, but it's possible.

Knowledge is power, and the more we understand about the limitations of the scale, the better equipped we are to take control of our health.

If you're keen to learn more about this and other important factors in Menopause and how to thrive, join my upcoming FREE workshop on the Secret to Thriving in Menopause without HRT.
